Rebecca $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Beck (she/they) and I am sitter/caregiver with 10+ years of experience. I have been a nanny/sitter in the city for over dozens of families for kids ages newborn-13 years old (including experience with twins and triplets!). I am also comfortable being a caregiver for seniors and children/adults with different abilities and special needs as I have cared for both. My prior responsibilities include driving, creative outlets (music and dance as I have a background in those), cooking, house work/cleaning, and running errands. I am also comfortable with any type of pet you may have and offer pet/house sitting as well! I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Lola $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Lola and I feel tremendous respect for children as they are so free and spontaneous; great teachers :) .. my experience is based on caring for my own son (now 21 years old); my niece and nephews (now 18-21 years old). I was a stay at home mom most of the time so I lived the experience by raising children and also being the recurring host for all their friends as well :). I helped them with homework and study for all school years, cooked and fed them; took care of all their needs and extra curricular activities; they are now in College and also hold each one high degrees in different fields like: black belt on MMA; college soccer; professional soccer; electric guitar player; artist (drawer/painter). I am very cautious and pay attention to detail; follow instructions; communicate well and in a timely manner. I also love music, dancing, playing, walking, going to the park; reading, baking :), blowing bubbles; help with school work. I am fluent in English and Spanish; I have a bachelors degree in Economics and I am also a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. I also own a dog myself :) his name is Cristiano and he is very happy and spoiled. Please fell free to ask about any questions or concerns that you may have :)

Chevelle $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Chevelle and I’m here to offer my services as both a senior caregiver and child caregiver. As an aspiring physician I take joy in any opportunity given to connect with all types of people and caregiving has afforded me the opportunity to do so. I have years of relevant experience as a result of my time as a camp counselor as well as health Director along with my current role as a Behavior Technician to kids on the autism spectrum. I put safety first in all aspects but I’m still about having a good time and bonding with those under my care.
