Hi! My name is Leysha, and I’m currently taking a gap year while pursuing opportunities in childcare. As the oldest sibling in a single-parent household, I’ve gained lots of hands-on experience caring for children, helping with everyday routines, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m comfortable preparing simple meals, helping with light household tasks, school pick-ups, and keeping kids entertained and engaged. I also love animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’m patient, responsible, dependable, and have a flexible schedule. I’d love the opportunity to connect with your family and provide reliable, caring support whenever needed!
Hi! My name is Kelly, I’m 19 years old, and I’m currently working as both a caregiver for seniors and a babysitter for two toddlers. I absolutely love working with children — it brings me so much joy! I have 5–8 years of childcare experience with kids of different ages, and 2 years of experience in senior care. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy helping families feel supported and at ease. I can help with: • Engaging and educational playtime • Meal prep and feeding • Light cleaning and laundry • Pick-up and drop-off from school or activities • Outdoor activities and creative learning • Maintaining a safe and happy environment I’m currently looking for a nanny position, part-time or full-time. If you’re looking for someone loving, dependable, and experienced to care for your little ones — I’d be so happy to connect! 💛 📩 Feel free to message me for more details or to chat about your family’s needs.
I am a dedicated, responsible, and caring person with over 5 years of experience working directly with children of different ages. I enjoy creating a welcoming and fun environment where they can feel safe and stimulated. I am patient and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I have strong references and am available to talk. In addition to childcare, I can also assist with basic household tasks, especially those related to the children, such as meal preparation, tidying up play areas, and helping with their daily routines. In my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to music, spending time outdoors, and being with family and friends. I also appreciate creative activities such as crafts and cooking, which I often incorporate into play and activities with children.
Hi! I’m Lia, a caring, responsible, and nurturing caregiver with experience working closely with young children. As a violinist getting a degree in music performance, I’ve taught violin to younger kids, which has taught me how to be patient, encouraging, attentive, and able to communicate with children of different personalities and learning styles. I also grew up helping take care of my younger cousins, so being around children and looking after them has always felt very natural to me. I moved to New York at a young age to study violin at Juilliard Pre-college and became very independent early on, which taught me how to be responsible, organized, dependable, and comfortable handling things on my own. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust and feel completely comfortable leaving their children with. I’m also an experienced pet caregiver and currently work through Rover as a dog sitter and walker, where I have received five-star reviews from clients. Caring for animals has strengthened my attentiveness, patience, and ability to follow routines and specific instructions. Overall, I’m naturally very nurturing and would love to be someone a family can rely on, whether that means keeping children entertained, helping with homework or music, preparing meals, caring for pets, or helping around the home. I can also provide services in Mandarin if needed, as well as violin and beginner piano.
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.
