Find an emergency babysitter in Woodside, NY

Heyy! My name is Aileen. I’m an experienced educator with 18 years of working with children, including 13 years as a paraprofessional with the Department of Education supporting students in special education. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and have experience working with children of different learning styles, personalities, and needs. In addition to my school-day experience, I worked for 15 years in an afterschool program as a group leader during the school year and as a summer camp coordinator. In these roles, I planned activities, supported homework time, supervised groups of children, and helped create a safe and positive environment where kids could learn, grow, and have fun. I make it a priority that children feel heard, understood, and cared for while maintaining clear routines and safety at all times. I’m happy to answer any questions and would love the opportunity to support your family.

Hello! My name is Ashlynn and I am going into my senior year at Ohio State University. I work at Ohio State’s childcare center, through which I am CPR and First Aid certified and take care of children 0-5. I have been working there for about 3 years, and seeing the children learn and getting to know them is one of the greatest joys of my life. Outside of the center, I’ve babysat since I was 16. I’m energetic, patient, and most of all, I love kids. My primarily language is English, but I am an ASL double major at school and would love to teach your children some signs if that is something you are open to. I can’t wait to meet your family and see if we’re a great fit :)

Hi! I'm Nicole (: I love connecting with people of all ages and am offering childcare, pet care, senior care and household services. Background & Approach: I bring a calm, patient, but firm presence, leading with compassion, curiosity, and communicating clear expectations. A teacher at heart, I believe structure provides safety and I encourage collaborative problem-solving. Over the last decade, I taught middle school for 6 years and worked with young children. My experience with infants includes caring for both of my nieces. Also, I have worked as a Direct Service Professional for young children and adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, in their homes and group homes, respectively. I am comfortable with travel, from school to home or extracurriculars and social outings. I enjoy facilitating play and exploring others' interests with them, eager to help develop their strengths if I can. I highly value modeling and teaching consent from an early age. Certifications: - Adult First Aid/CPR - Youth Mental Health Aid - Completed an end-of-life training/planning program as a death doula (with Alua Arthur, she is amazing!) and embrace discussing the things that make life both hard & beautiful. Pets: I grew up with animals, a Pomeranian mix and later a Pitbull mix (sadly, he was not friendly), so I am comfortable with various sizes, temperaments, and needs and often pet sit for family. I love cats, too and am a quick learner. Household Services: basic cooking & cleaning, washing dishes, sweeping, dusting, vacuuming, organizing, and in-home laundry. Currently, I spend my time supporting my sister and brother-in-law with childcare for my 2-month-old and 7-year-old nieces, and I am obsessed with them. <3 I enjoy playing cozy video games, learning coding and data analysis/visualization, listening to audiobooks, and practicing Filipino martial arts.
