Leah $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Leah, and I'm a 24-year-old Brooklyn-based caregiver currently preparing to start law school. I'm seeking part-time childcare work over the summer and would love to support a family during this time. I bring over six years of childcare experience, including working as an overnight camp counselor, supporting children with special needs, and providing tutoring across various subjects. These roles have helped me develop patience, creativity, and strong communication skills, as well as the ability to adapt to each child's unique personality and needs. My schedule is very flexible throughout the summer, and I'm happy to work with families to find a routine that fits best. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with the children I care for and creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment. I look forward to chatting with you and seeing if I would be a great fit for your family's needs!

Priyanat $25 per hour for 1 child

*Not interested in rude and disrespectful parents. I am looking to assist a lovely family with child care (ages 2-12). This includes pick up/drop off, housekeeping, organizing, scheduling, food preparation, feeding, bathing, tutoring, etc. The most fascinating thing I find with child care is the chance to re-see and relearn the world through children's point of view and experience. A well-educated and cultured individual, who previously worked in corporate, I am finding new fulfillment being around children. I am active in my daily life, so I can keep up with activities. My personality is patient, caring and empathetic, with honesty and a sense of humor. I value safety, respect and being a positive role model. I enjoy working with children, even in my previous corporate jobs. In addition to being a certified yoga instructor, I also have experience in school volunteering and tutoring. I look forward to meeting and getting to know your family. Thank you. *Pet care experience - previously had 5 cats and 4 dogs.
