I have raised my five children and care for my four grandhcildren. I also have experience working as an assistant in a Pre-K classroom. I love working with children.
Hi there! I have over 5 years of paid experience in babysitting. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Speech Therapy and am currently working on my Master’s degree. I’ve always loved working with children from a young age and would volunteer at daycares which is when my interest first began. Growing up in a big family, and becoming an aunt at an early age I’ve always been surrounded by young children and the love of working and caring with children only continued to grow. Which led me to pursue a career in speech therapy, where I could continue to foster and help children grow. I know sign language in addition to English, and could help with all homework types. I’ve worked with children with varying developmental needs, such as children on the spectrum, children with learning disabilities or those with speech delays. I am great with play time, crafts, and overall entertaining the children in things they might enjoy. I’m happy to answer any questions and see if I’m the right fit for your family!
Hello! - My name is Sharice, most call me Sha, and I'm currently a sophomore at the School of Visual Arts. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been caring for kids since I was 10 years old! Most of my experience has come from babysitting younger family members as I grew up in a big family and am the 4th oldest of 14 cousins! My responsibilities have included crafts, entertainment, pick-up and drop-off, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own 95 year-old grandma and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook and do many other tasks. Though I was raised in a pet-allergic household, I have been blessed without the allergy and am in love with furry friends!
Hi! My name is Giada, and I’m currently a sophomore at CUNY Hunter College studying Social Work. I’m planning to apply to the BSW program, and I’m especially interested in working in mental health and helping others. I’ve always loved babysitting, mostly because I had a babysitter growing up who I really loved and looked forward to spending time with. I’ve been working with children since I was around 14 and have experience caring for toddlers and older children. I’ve also volunteered and worked at a summer camp for young children, which gave me even more experience spending time with and caring for kids. I would describe myself as patient, responsible, and caring. I love being outside with kids when the weather is nice and getting involved in whatever activities they enjoy. I’m also comfortable helping with homework, cooking, and keeping children entertained. Outside of school and babysitting, I enjoy listening to music, reading, and spending time with my friends.
Columbia University Graduate (BA in Psychology) with CPR/First Aid/AED Certification and experience caring for children of different ages. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive, and I focus on creating a safe and nurturing environment while keeping children engaged through activities like reading, crafts, and play. I communicate well with parents and am happy to support routines, meal prep, and light childcare-related tasks. I also have experience working as a Personal Assistant/House Manager, Companion, Personal Chef and Pet-Sitter. In my free time I enjoy reading non-fiction books, board games, Hanayama puzzles and collecting greeting cards. Fully vaccinated. Fluent in English and Polish.

"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!"
