Hello! My name is Maya, and I would love to help you take care of your kids. I am a current master's student at Columbia School of Social Work. I have 2 years experience as a caseworker in child welfare, providing short-term care for children from infants to teens.

Hello, My name is NaKea. I currently have my bachelors in psychology and I have my Associates of Applied Science in Early Childhood Education. I have been in the childcare journey since 13, working in my mother's daycare and having my first summer youth job in a daycare. in 2019, I started my journey as a lead teacher working with toddlers and continuing my journey to work with school age children. I have been a lead teacher, admin assistant, camp assistant director as well as a health director. I am currently a Paraprofessional in DOE for preschool as I continue to work on my journey to become a teacher in the DOE System. I have a well rounded knowledge of working with toddlers to preschool and some school age children due to the many belts I have had on my childcare journey. I am able to travel as I have a car. I can help with homework, picking up from extra curricular activities, assisting with nap/bed time. I can provide a safe environment and will provide open communication to provide comfortability to all parties. I’m very detailed with providing key information regarding my day with your child and have different methods and working with each child’s individual needs.
Hello! I am an experienced parent of a college-bound 17-year-old son and nurturing children comes naturally to me. I hold a graduate degree in art history and, during the week, work full time as the director and curator of a small art museum. I value children’s natural curiosity and bring a patient, creative, friendly, and steady approach to childcare. I am comfortable caring for one to two children at a time to ensure focused attention and personalized care. I enjoy engaging children with crafts, board games, puzzles, books, and general creative play. I prioritize open communication with parents, and I'm very comfortable upholding household rules. As a mother myself, I know the importance of having a trusted caregiver. My goal is to provide a safe, stimulating, and caring environment to ensure your child/ren feel secure and happy while you're out—and to provide you with peace of mind!
My name is Jamora, and I have a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, caregiving has always been one of my greatest passions. I’ve worked in daycares and childcare settings since I was 16 years old, and throughout the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with children of all ages and abilities, including those with special needs. I’m CPR/AED certified, trained in anaphylaxis response, and have completed specialized training in infant care, special education, and hold a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential. What makes me a great caregiver is not just my experience, but my genuine love for helping others feel safe, supported, and valued. I’m known for my patience, nurturing personality, and ability to stay calm under pressure. I bring a mix of structure, creativity, and warmth to every environment I step into, whether I’m caring for kids, seniors, pets, or assisting with household tasks. I believe every person deserves care that is thoughtful and tailored to their needs, and I take pride in being that dependable, compassionate presence in their lives.
Hi! I’m 25 years old and I work at children’s parties on weekends, doing face painting, balloon twisting, and other entertainment activities. I’ve been doing this for over three years. I also offer dog sitting in my home together with my fiancé. I love being around kids and animals — they bring so much joy and warmth into life! 🐶 I’m looking for extra opportunities to work in my free time, which is why I decided to create a profile here. My schedule is quite flexible, although I’m usually busy on weekends. I’d love to chat and discuss all the details personally! ✨
