Hello! I am a Graduate Student at Columbia University with a passion for working with children! I have six years of experience with children, through teaching dance/gymnastics, being a camp counselor, babysitting and tutor. I love to diy projects, dance, reading, listening to music, and spending time outside!
“Tania was great! My kids loved having her over. She was professional, kind, and she got my two rambunctious toddlers to sleep on time (not an easy feat). Thanks Tania!”
I’m a caring, responsible, and patient caregiver with a Chinese background, bringing respect, warmth, and family values to my care. Experienced with children of all ages, I create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment that helps them learn and grow.
Hi, My name is Marie and I am currently babysitting. I am offering child care. I have 3 children, with one in the spectrum. I worked in a child center with new born, infants, toddlers and toddlers. I also have experience working with special needs children age 4 to 15. I am a native French speaker and I love to teach and tutor children to learn and speak French while having fun.
“Marie was absolutely wonderful with our three-year-old. She is professional, reliable, and incredibly easy to work with. What really stood out to us is her experience with autism, she handled everything with patience, confidence, and care. From the moment she arrived, she connected quickly with our child and needed very little direction, which gave us great peace of mind. We could tell she genuinely cares and takes her role seriously. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any family, and we’ll definitely be hiring her again!” ”
My name is Nate. I offer specialized care for children, seniors, and pets. With a calm demeanor and a deep sense of responsibility, I quickly build rapport with all. I'm here to provide peace of mind and excellent care for your most cherished family members.
Making a positive impact on children's lives is what I strive for! As a former Program Facilitator and Youth Development Specialist, I have three years of experience supporting families by providing reliable care. I am currently a receptionist at a Pediatrics office. I am patient, calm, friendly, and approachable. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and caring for children of all ages. I keep parents informed through verbal communication at pickup, regular updates via text or phone call, and by following your preferred communication method. I enjoy board games, puzzles, and even some technology-based games. I am also willing to help with carpooling, light housekeeping, and travel. I speak both English and Spanish. I hope to bring my enthusiasm and experience to your family!
