Booked by 1 family in East Elmhurst, NY

Hi everyone! My name is Maren, I am a recent graduate from the Rhode Island School of Design where I received my MFA in illustration. Now I’ve relocated to Brooklyn with my fiance, and am starting a new chapter of life! I love kids, I taught dance to 15 elementary students for four years in high school, have two rambunctious cousins (7,11) at home who I take care of when I see them and grew up sitting from the age of 12. I love to bring activities, play, and just hear the crazy things kids say. I am a fantastic cook and quite the voice actor when it comes to picture books. Can’t wait to meet you!

Hi! My name is Sarah, and I'm originally from just outside of Boston. I am starting my Master's in School Counseling at Columbia University this fall to become a licensed elementary school counselor.

Xarializ $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Xarializ, and I’m a warm, patient, and reliable caregiver with a genuine passion for supporting families. I have 1–2 years of hands-on experience working with infants as well as toddlers with special needs and disabilities. Those experiences have taught me to be attentive, nurturing, and adaptable to each child’s unique needs. **Services I Offer** I provide child care, senior companionship, and pet care. My goal is always to make life easier, safer, and more enjoyable for the people (and pets!) I work with. I’ve cared for infants, helping with feeding, soothing, developmental play, and establishing routines. I also have meaningful experience working with toddlers with special needs, where I’ve supported sensory play, communication development, and gentle structure. I enjoy activities like creative play, reading, outdoor walks, and simple crafts. I’m comfortable helping with homework, basic tutoring, meal prep, and providing a calm, structured environment. I also stay informed about safety practices and child-development approaches, and I take pride in being a dependable, supportive presence for little ones. I have experience offering non-medical senior care, including companionship, meal prep, light housekeeping, and driving to appointments or errands. I enjoy providing support because I genuinely value kindness, patience, and helping seniors feel safe, respected, and cared for. I absolutely love animals—especially cats! I have experience caring for a variety of pets and I’m comfortable with different breeds and temperaments. I can help with walking, feeding, playing, litter box cleaning, and giving your fur babies lots of attention. I’m also comfortable with larger animals and pets that shed. Cat sitting is something I especially enjoy because I love their personalities, their routines, and the calm, cozy energy they bring to a home. Overall, I bring compassion, responsibility, and a positive attitude to every job. I genuinely enjoy building trust and making sure the families and pets I care for feel supported and understood.
