Hi, I’m Anya! I’m a New York City native offering child care, dog-sitting, and house-sitting services across the city. I know every neighborhood and train line like the back of my hand! I hold a BFA with a minor in Business Marketing and currently work a corporate 9-to-5, but I’ve always loved caring for kids. I babysat throughout college and grew up as the eldest of two younger brothers. I also frequently babysit my 12-year-old niece. I work in digital media, so I know all about the latest kid trends - huge fan of K Pop Demon Hunters! I’m responsible, creative, and patient, and I love keeping kids engaged with fun activities like art projects, games, or chess. I cook healthy meals, speak two languages, and am great with dogs (but allergic to cats). I also played volleyball throughout high school, so I'm familiar with sports and a huge advocate for fitness. Also happy to help with homework! I excelled at math, English, and history. Reliable, nurturing, and upbeat. I live in the city, so open to last-minute babysitting needs!
Peace to Your Home, I am an experienced man, that is available to help within My reach. To look after Your Home, animals, and/or might be something else that You need. I am calm, cool and collective. Highly responsible, clean, and customer service oriented. I have an extensive experience raising large (Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Tibetan Mastiff), and small (Chihuahua, Multipu) dogs, as well as cats. In general I am kind, love people, and animals. Trying new ways of making some extra money while enjoying what I like, watching, walking, and playing with animals. Have two grown kids, that live their lives. Not yet sure what else should I include in to this description, please feel free to ask any questions. Best, Vadim Hermes
Hi, my name is Marae and I love working with kids!! I've been babysitting for about 5 years now and out of all my jobs, it's always been my favorite:) Being the daughter of an elementary school teacher I was raised with a deep appreciation for peace + love, and I love keeping that cycle going! I'm open to all aspects of care-taking for children (including any special needs for neurodivergent children), except driving and changing diapers. I am also open to house-care such as grocery shopping, laundry, tidying up, etc. I am currently in college, so I don't have my degree yet but I'm working on it!

"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!"
