“Dirian was super sweet. My kids loved having her as their babysitter.”
Hi, I’m Dominion, and I’m a biology graduate from the college of mount Saint Vincent, NY. I used to work as a microbiologist and now preparing for my masters program. I offer reliable child care, and household services. I have a passion for babysitting and have been caring for children—from newborns to preteens, including all my little cousins during summer vacations. My experience includes school pickups, engaging activities like crafts, tutoring, and even managing dance lessons. In addition to babysitting, I could provide household support, including cleaning, and running errands. I have experience caring for my grandparents, so I'm comfortable with senior care, whether it’s preparing meals, or helping with daily tasks. My hobbies include listening to music, YouTube, shopping, working in a laboratory and reading leisurely. Looking forward to meeting you!
“When my mother-in-law was unexpectedly unavailable, I reached out to Dominion and she saved the day! She arrived on time and instantly connected with my 6-month-old, which is no easy feat considering that I work from home and my daughter is super attached to me. I was instantly comforted by my daughter's smile when Dominion reached for her and by Dominion's innate ability to soothe her when she did get a bit fussy later in the day. She understood my daughter's cues, and we had a chance to laugh about them together after I had finished a few meetings. She also treated my home with great respect and showed a genuine interest in getting to know my family. I know I will continuously reach out to her when needed. Thank you, Dominion!”
I am a recent college graduate who loves working with children, spending time outdoors, and supporting families in my community! I have been nannying consistently throughout college and beyond, and I genuinely enjoy building relationships with children and helping create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them. I have experience caring for children of various ages, tutoring, and helping with homework. I am happy to provide academic support as needed, and I am almost fluent in Spanish! Special Needs Experience: I have extensive experience working with children with special needs and feel very confident supporting children with a variety of abilities and challenges. I have worked as an aquatic therapist and taught swim lessons to children with various disabilities. In high school, I also served as a social coach, helping students with homework, social skills, and job skills. During college, I volunteered with a program serving children experiencing homelessness through an after-school program, where I helped with homework, served dinner, and organized fun activities. Swimming & Safety: I have five years of lifeguarding experience, hold a CPR certification, and have taught swim lessons to children ranging from one to eighteen years old. I am passionate about water safety and feel comfortable working with children of different ages and skill levels. Pet Care: I have loved dogs my entire life and volunteered at a dog shelter for many years. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, including both timid and energetic dogs. I am also comfortable caring for cats and providing overnight pet sitting. Household Help & Cleaning: I am happy to help with household chores and cleaning as needed. I gained valuable cleaning and organizational experience while working in a women's locker room at a fitness club, where I was responsible for maintaining a clean and welcoming environment. I also worked at Starbucks, where I enjoyed customer support tasks such as cleaning tables, washing dishes, and restocking supplies. I am comfortable taking on a variety of household tasks when provided with the appropriate supplies and instructions. Overall, I am a caring, dependable, and adaptable person who loves helping families wherever I can. I would love the opportunity to support your family, whether that means caring for your children, helping with homework, assisting around the house, or looking after your pets!
“Jordan was prompt, professional, and communicative.”
I have a background in psychology and three years of experience working with children aged 2 to 12. This experience has allowed me to support children’s emotional, social, and developmental needs while managing behavior and creating a nurturing environment. My academic training gives me a strong foundation in child development, which I use to guide my caregiving approach. I am empathetic, patient, and adaptable, always aiming to connect with children and provide them with the support they need to thrive. I excel at managing behavior, offering emotional support, and implementing age-appropriate developmental activities. While my focus has been on children, I am also skilled in handling household services, ensuring an organized and positive environment for families. My nurturing and caring nature, combined with my understanding of psychology, makes me an effective and compassionate caregiver.
