Hi, I am Alex and I would love to help take care of your pup. I have always been around dogs my whole life. I understand that every dog is different and I am very patient with them. I currently have a job at night so I would be more than happy to walk your dog during the day or weekend.

Maya $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi- My name is Maya and I am currently a junior at NYU. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I have always loved being a babysitter and spending time with kids and have taken care of mostly 4 year olds and older and a 1 year old since being in high school. I also worked as a summer camp counselor for 3 years with loads of different aged children. I also tutored young children in high school and have worked with high school children since being in college. A fun fact about me is I am fluent in French if any children happen to be needing language help. I am mostly looking for childcare opportunities as I absolutely adore looking after children and watching them grow and experience all the energy and joy they have to offer. I am a responsible, attentive, and energetic caretaker, am very patient when need be, and will be able to communicate with children and parents about anything that may come up. I can also work as a household assistant and can run errands, as well as love caring for all sorts of animals and would also be interested in pet care services. *I will be out of town June 19-29 my schedule is very clear and flexible before and after that

Hi, my name is Kimberly. I’ve been babysitting for a while now I started off babysitting my nephew when I was young. I loved it so much I started looking into more babysitting jobs and I now have more than 2 years of experience. I also love doing other chores such as laundry and mild cleaning. I love cooking especially some shrimp alfredo pasta yumm! I love making snacks for the kids and creating fun activities for them. Especially art activities and baking with them! I have experience walking dogs as well. I love pets a lot and look forward to seeing families with their fur babies :)
