Mary Ellen $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Mary Ellen (M.E. for short). I’m a warm, compassionate, attentive caretaker and graduate student. I’m looking for part-time to full-time opportunities while I complete my degree. I have experience with infants, toddlers, pre-teens, special needs adults, and pets. I currently provide community habilitation services to young women with autism and intellectual disabilities, including remote job coaching, mentorship, and executive functioning support. With years of reporting, interviewing, and managing complex workflows as a journalist, I bring strong communication, patience, and problem-solving skills to caregiving. My background has trained me to stay calm under pressure, listen closely, and respond thoughtfully when supporting my clients. I’m organized, dependable, and skilled at creating structure while encouraging independence and creativity. My experience collaborating with diverse communities has strengthened my ability to connect with individuals from different backgrounds and build trust quickly. Above all, I’m empathetic and committed to fostering a safe, positive environment where each individual feels heard, supported, and engaged.

Sierra $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sierra, and I am a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of The Arts Drama program (2024) with experience with caring for children from 1-10 years of age in the past. I’m now a professional actor and filmmaker on top of providing childcare. I have previously worked as a tour guide for my hometown's history museum which worked primarily with school groups. Thus, I have a lot of experience with large groups of elementary aged children. I have also performed children's theatre in the past. I am proud to be from a teaching family—with family members who work in the Department of Education in CA, public school teaching, and are professors at top universities around the world. Similarly, I have provided ACT and SAT English instruction in the past for high school students and scored a 34 in English and a 35 in Reading on the ACT. Including my theatre experience, I also speak Mandarin (intermediate). My hobbies include film photography, cooking (I was an apprentice at a two-star Michelin restaurant), hiking, exploring historical sites, and studying philosophy. I believe in the importance in helping nurture a child's empathy and their skills to later be a fully functioning adult. I believe that it is more important than ever for children to be able to express themselves and have someone to listen to them. I would be happy and honored to be someone who can help your child feel heard. I hope that in turn it would inspire them to be someone who reaches out to others as well.

Fatoumatu $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Fatoumatu, and I truly enjoy working with children of all ages. I have years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids through babysitting, nannying, and volunteering, and also taking care of my own siblings and neighbours kids. I’m known for being patient, attentive, and creativity. I love keeping kids engaged with fun activities, reading, and arts & crafts. Safety and communication are very important to me. I am comfortable with routines like meal prep, and bedtime, and I always make sure children feel safe and cared for in my presence. Parents often describe me as reliable, responsible, and easy to communicate with. Whether it’s creating fun games, or keeping little ones on their daily routine, I aim to bring a calm, positive, and dependable presence into your home. I’d be honored to support your family and provide loving, trustworthy care for your children.
