Hi my name is Angela and I am currently a stay at home wife. I am offering childcare in your home and household services. I love being a sitter to children of any age group. I enjoy singing lullabies to newborns as much as counting numbers and things to coloring and reading books with toddlers, the joy I get from reading to children 😊 I have cleaned many homes, from vacuuming to laundry to organizing and also run errands (walking distance) because I don’t drive. Most importantly I am very loving towards children and trustworthy and respectful to the children as well as their parents and household. Thank you, Angela
“We hired Angela to substitute for our regular nanny when she took six weeks leave. Angela stepped in and immediately made our kids feel comfortable and safe. They took to her right away and even after six weeks they are always glad to see her. She has a handle on them at all times - her guidance and nurturing of them has been impeccable. She did art projects with them, played on the floor with them, read with them, and was completely focused on them at all times. We feel so much respect and affection for Angela. We will miss her very much.”
Hello! I'm a writing professor at CUNY during the academic year, available over the summer to take thoughtful and attentive care of your children. I love working with kids for the same reasons I love teaching writing: creating a compassionate and structured environment for young people to follow their interests and curiosities with joy. I approach caregiving with energy and humor, and outside of work, I love cooking new recipes, exercising, and taking improv comedy classes.
Hello, my name is Giulia . I’m a senior in high school soon to be graduating. I’m 18 years old. I have a lot of experience with younger children. I have two little siblings of my own seven and nine who I’ve helped raise and plenty of little baby cousins that I always help babysit. I’m great with kids kids love me. I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I can clean cook run errands take them to the park, do fun activities with them and help with homework. I’ll make them healthy and delicious meals and you won’t have to worry about them when they’re with me. I know my age, might look a little young, but I come from an Albanian household, which is huge by the way, and I’ve been taking care of kids since I was a kid myself. I’m looking forward to watching your kids while you parents get your work done or have a very well deserved night out! If you have any questions, please let me know. I’ll be willing to answer anything nothing is too personal!<3
Hi everyone- My name is Eleni and I’m a recent graduate from Syracuse University. I am offering childcare, household services, and dog care. I’ve been babysitting children 2 years old to 15 years old for over two years. I’ve helped with schoolwork (tutoring and projects) crafts, and helped with Spanish lessons. This last year while working my full time job I’ve assisted two families on the weekends during date night, or in the evenings on weekdays. However, I am actively looking to start a new position so please reach out! I have also dog-sited and house-sited before. 😊 •I can provide references! Please note the following: I am more than happy to complete a job that pays below my usual rate(s) if i apply for it.
“Last week, I booked Eleni to watch my 10 year old son and we were both immediately taken by her warmth and friendliness. She arrived early and was enthusiastic about who my child is and all of the things he's interested in. Eleni was a perfect solution to a last minute child care on a friday night. We will be happy to book again in the future :)”
Hiii ✨ My name is Mina, and I’m a 21-year-old caregiver with several years of experience working with children of all ages. I’m a former preschool teacher and currently working toward becoming a Behavior Technician (RBT), where I’m learning new skills to support children’s growth, communication, and overall development. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment while also encouraging learning through everyday activities. Whether it’s helping with routines, engaging in play, or supporting emotional needs, I always aim to make children feel comfortable and cared for. As for my availability, I’m available in the mornings Monday through Friday, and I’m fully available all day on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide reliable, thoughtful care! —>> 🐾 Client & Safety Policy First-Time Walks: For large, shy, reactive, or nervous dogs, a meet-and-greet with the owner present is required before solo walks begin. Leash & Handling Policy: If a dog cannot be safely leashed or shows defensive behavior (growling, snapping, lunging, repeated close-proximity barking), I reserve the right to cancel the session for safety reasons. The full session rate will still apply, as the time slot and travel have been reserved. Health & Behavioral Disclosure: Clients must disclose if a dog is in heat, has a history of leash resistance, or has shown defensive behavior toward new handlers. Undisclosed conditions that prevent safe handling may result in cancellation with full charge. I am fully background-checked, patient, reliable, nurturing, and very accommodating to each family’s needs. I love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children can feel comfortable, supported, and happy. If you live a distance away and need urgent care, I kindly ask that transportation be covered via Lyft or Uber. I do have mild cat allergies, but I don’t mind being around pets — I may just be sneezing a bit! 😅 Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or would like to get to know me better. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and help care for your little ones!
