ashitaka $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Ashitaka, a CPR-certified preschool teacher and children’s gymnastics instructor with over 2 years of experience supporting little ones as they grow, learn, and play. I specialize in working with toddlers and early childhood age groups, and I bring a warm, high-energy, and creative approach to caregiving. As a Broadway actor and performer, I love incorporating music, movement, and storytelling into everyday moments — from dance breaks to dramatic storytime. I’m comfortable with meal times, routines, transitions, and sensory play, and I thrive in environments where kids feel both safe and celebrated. Helping children feel confident, curious, and cared for is at the heart of what I do. I’d love to be part of a home where joy and structure go hand in hand!

Anacelis $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I have over 17 years of experience working with children and creating safe, supportive, and engaging environments. I’m CPR certified, lifeguard certified, and have spent the past 10 years teaching swim lessons to children of all ages, which has strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to stay calm in emergencies. I also have experience as an overnight camp counselor, supervising children, supporting routines, and ensuring their safety and well-being. I enjoy building meaningful connections with kids while being reliable, attentive, and someone families can feel comfortable trusting with their care.

Hi there! My name is Katie, and I am a graduate from the University of Chicago and Masters student living in Williamsburg. I have 4 years of experience caring for children ranging from toddlers to teens, as well as pets. I am also very skilled in cleaning, cooking, organization, and general proactive tidiness. I’m known for being energetic, caring, and proactive, and prioritize being punctual and highly communicative. Whether it’s a creative craft afternoon, help with homework, or navigating a busy playground, I prioritize safety, engagement, and compassion above all else. Regarding pet care, I am incredibly passionate about loving and caring for our pets who give us love unconditionally. I recently lost my childhood dog of 17 years to kidney disease, and know exactly what it feels like to want to give your pet the world. I will make sure to do everything in my power to give that love to your pet. Quick Facts: • Safety: CPR & First Aid Certified. • Logistics: I live near the L and G trains and am very comfortable navigating the city. • Specialties: Homework and schooling help, mentorship (in academics, leadership, and sports), activities (athletics, crafts, reading, walking, games), meal prepping, cleaning, laundry, proactive organization • Availability: Open for mornings Mon-Sat, all afternoons excluding Sat, all early mornings Mon-Fri, evenings excluding Fri and Sat I am passionate about spreading joy and compassion with all that I meet - adults, children, and pets alike - and most importantly, helping people.

Michaela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi- I’m Michaela. I’m 29. I’ve been working with kids since I was 16, and over the years, I’ve had the chance to work with children and teens ages 3 to 19 in all kinds of settings. I’ve worked as a teacher, in early intervention, in elementary schools, and as a school social worker, including with autistic children. No matter the role, my focus has always been on creating a supportive and engaging environment where kids feel safe, understood, and encouraged to grow. Right now, I’m pursuing my Doctorate in Social Work at LIU because I want to deepen my understanding of child and family well-being. I do this work because I love it—helping kids thrive is incredibly important to me, and I bring patience, experience, and a genuine passion for working with children to everything I do.
