Hi! I’m Zahar, a registered nurse based in Brooklyn with a background in childcare, school nursing, pediatric psychiatry, and elder care. I’m also pursuing my doctorate in psychiatric nursing. I bring patience, warmth, and a calm approach to caregiving. My experience has taught me how to support different personalities and needs, help children through big feelings, and stay attentive to their safety and well-being. I enjoy creating a comfortable environment where children feel heard and parents feel confident leaving them in my care. I’m happy to help with playtime, homework, meals, and bedtime routines while following your family’s preferences. I also love cooking! Clear communication and respecting your household’s routines are important to me. I’m available for occasional babysitting, date nights, and backup care around my nursing schedule. I’d love to learn more about your family and how I can help!
Hello, I’m Christopher, and I look forward to the opportunity to tutor. I’m passionate about helping others succeed academically. I tutor in math, science, and engineering, and I enjoy breaking down complex ideas into simple, understandable steps. I have many hobbies, including hiking, running, fixing cars, and working in my father’s construction company to help improve productivity. I also enjoy having conversations with interesting people because it gives me a chance to learn something new from different perspectives. I consider myself to be an active individual whenever I’m not studying or working, as the benefits it brings know no bounds.
Hello! I’m a responsible, creative, and warm babysitter who truly enjoys creating a welcoming and positive environment for children of all ages. I believe every child is unique, and I take the time to understand their individual personality, interests, and needs. I love planning engaging activities that encourage creativity and learning, while also making sure kids feel safe, supported, and heard. Whether it’s imaginative play, arts and crafts, reading, or helping with routines, I always bring patience and care to everything I do. I value open communication and enjoy working closely with parents to ensure their expectations are met and their child’s individualized needs are supported. My goal is to create a nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and families feel confident in the care I provide. I look forward to connecting with your family!
Hi - My name is Lisvet and I'm currently a senior at UCLA. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands.
Hi! My name is Myra, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter with over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience helping raise my younger siblings from infancy through childhood. I’m very comfortable with daily routines such as feeding, diapering, naps, bedtime, homework help, and supervising multiple children. I’m patient, calm, and safety-focused, and I do my best to create a positive, supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also organized, attentive, and respectful of each family’s routines and preferences. I understand how important trust is when choosing a caregiver, and I take that responsibility seriously while making sure children feel happy, engaged, and safe
