Hi! My name is Nikki, and I have over 3 years of experience working with children and pets. Im an undergraduate at NYU, studying Psychology with a minor in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies! I plan on going to law school after graduating with my bachelors. I’m dependable, patient, and love creating a fun, safe environment where kids can learn and grow. I’ve worked with children of different ages, helping with everything from playtime and homework to meal prep and bedtime routines. I grew up in a Hispanic household and am able to speak a bit of spanish as well! I’m also an animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats — walking, feeding, and giving them plenty of attention. I take pride in being responsible, organized, and someone families can trust.
Hi! My name is Chloe, and I’m an incoming medical student with a passion for working with children. I currently work at a fertility clinic and am looking for part-time opportunities before starting medical school this August. I’m Basic Life Support (BLS) certified and have experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve also been tutoring for many years and am happy to help with homework, studying, and academic support. In addition, I previously worked at a museum of science, where I taught science concepts to children ages 5 and under! I love to cook and am completely comfortable preparing meals, whether it’s simple snacks or full dinners. (Bonus! I played college lacrosse and have coached on the side and if any of your kids are interested in lacrosse, I would be happy to play with them and coach!) I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I always strive to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment for kids. I would love the opportunity to connect and help care for your little ones!
I’m a senior at NYU with a strong background in childcare and safety. I’m a certified lifeguard trained in CPR, First Aid, and emergency response, and I bring that same attentiveness and calm presence to caregiving. I’m responsible, patient, and engaging, with experience caring for children and pets. Families appreciate my reliability, clear communication, and punctuality.
Hi- my name Marchia. I’m offering childcare, senior care and household services. I am a very humble person, I have a special love for children and the elderly. I am very clean and organized and I enjoy cooking. In my experience working with babies I wholeheartedly enjoy being apart of their formative years and witnessing their personalities coming together. I have approximately 2.5 years experience working with children professionally but almost 20 years in total babysitting and looking after my own brother and cousins. I work really well with seniors and enjoy conversations with them as well.
Hi! My name is kalsang. I’m a dependable and friendly caregiver with experience working with children from infant up to age 9. I truly love what I do and take pride in creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for little ones. I'm also happy to help out with light housekeeping, run errands when needed, and I get along great with pets. If you're looking for someone responsible, warm, and ready to jump in wherever needed, I’d love to help!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
Hillary S., parent
