Hello! My name is Mary, and I am a preschool special education teacher currently working in Queens, NY. I am offering childcare services along with light housekeeping, including cleaning, vacuuming, laundry, and preparing simple snacks. I have a strong passion for teaching children and have been in the field of early childhood education for sixteen years. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, teenagers, and young adults, with the majority of my experience focused on children ages 2–5. My responsibilities as a teacher include lesson planning, creating hands-on crafts, and reading age-appropriate storybooks. I am comfortable working in homes with small dogs; however, I am not accustomed to working with other pets, such as cats, hamsters, or large dogs
Hi families! I’m yalitza or yali for short. im a kind, patient, and dependable caregiver who genuinely loves spending time with kids.

Whether it’s doing crafts, playing outside, or simply being someone they can count on, I’m always happy to help. I understand how important it is for families to have someone they can trust, and I strive to be reliable, caring, and supportive. I also speak Spanish and love art and reading. i’m going into my second year of college and im majoring in health studies. im also experienced & comfortably with pets! i have 3 cats! anyways i would love the opportunity to help your family whenever you need an extra hand! don’t be afraid to reach out :))

Hi, I’m Jocelyn! I’m currently a college student at Baruch College. My services include child care, dog and pet care. My experience with taking care of kids go way back to when I was taking care of younger relatives since I was around 10. I’m currently a chaperone for 2 kids on Saturdays and watching them do their online tutoring. I can practically do everything you need for child care! I mainly do pickup from school to home or to an afterschool activity but no at home sitting. I am also a math tutor so I can do tutoring at the library with your child if needed! As for pet experience, I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of family pets (mostly dogs) and making sure they’re fed on time, walking them, and making sure they’re happy overall!
