I am a college student at Fordham University at Lincoln Center majoring in Business and minoring in theater. I am from New Jersey but live in New York during the school year. I have babysat for 8 years with CPR certification. I have been working as a camp counselor for children ages 3-11 for since 2019 to present. I am also a lifeguard since 2023. I love playing with kids and keeping them entertained. I also know New York very well and know my way around safely. I know how to manage accidents and tantrums as well as soothe them when upset. I am also good with young children with special needs if needed.
Compassionate, patient, and highly attentive caregiver with a deep love for children and extensive hands-on experience in childcare within a church community. Currently preparing for motherhood, which further strengthens my understanding of children’s emotional and developmental needs. Dedicated to creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments for children of all ages.
Hello there! I hold an MA in Counseling Psychology and a BA in Elementary Education & Theatre Arts. As a previous educator and childcare provider, I have served children in various settings (i.e. full-time nanny, teacher, and camp counselor) for over 15 years. I am available to do light housework (tidying, organizing), meal prep, and homework help as needed. When I am not working as a psychotherapist I can be found in nature, dancing, writing, and enjoying the arts!
Hi! I'm Irlanda, a caring, dependable, and energetic childcare professional with over 8 years of experience working with infants, toddlers, and young children. I've worked as both a Teacher Assistant and Head Teacher in early childhood education, where I've planned engaging activities, supported children's development, and built strong relationships with families. I'm also completing my Master's degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), which has strengthened my communication skills and understanding of child development. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn through play, exploration, and creativity. Whether we're reading stories, doing arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, or working on age-appropriate learning activities, I strive to make every child feel supported and encouraged. Families describe me as patient, responsible, organized, and easy to communicate with. I'm comfortable caring for multiple children, preparing meals and snacks, helping with bedtime routines, and keeping parents updated throughout the day. My goal is to give parents peace of mind while ensuring their little ones feel happy, safe, and cared for.
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. I've been living in the Morningside Heights area for the past year and a half. I'm looking for a position with flexibility around my class schedule. I've been babysitting, working with, and volunteering with children since I was a teenager. I have experience caring for children of different ages, and I really enjoy getting to know each child's personality and interests. I'd love to find a family I can work with consistently throughout the school year!
