Hi, I’m Mary Ellen (M.E. for short). I’m a warm, compassionate, attentive caretaker and graduate student. I’m looking for part-time to full-time opportunities while I complete my degree.

Margarita $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m 25 years old and I work at children’s parties on weekends, doing face painting, balloon twisting, and other entertainment activities. I’ve been doing this for over three years. I also offer dog sitting in my home together with my fiancé. I love being around kids and animals — they bring so much joy and warmth into life! 🐶 I’m looking for extra opportunities to work in my free time, which is why I decided to create a profile here. My schedule is quite flexible, although I’m usually busy on weekends. I’d love to chat and discuss all the details personally! ✨

Fitri $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi There! I’m Fitri! I’m a warm, reliable, and detail-oriented caregiver with 3+ years of experience caring for toddlers and children through teaching, babysitting, and children’s programs. I’m a mom myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your child and your home. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and enjoy creating a safe, positive environment where children can play, learn, and feel comfortable. I’m experienced with age-appropriate activities, reading, creative play, learning, mealtimes, routines, and helping children develop independence. I especially enjoy caring for toddlers and young children and keeping them engaged throughout the day. I’m also an excellent household helper. I’m highly organized and have a strong eye for detail. I genuinely enjoy cleaning and turning messy spaces into clean, tidy, and organized ones! I can help with children’s laundry, dishes, toy and playroom organization, light cleaning, tidying, groceries, errands, and other household tasks that make busy parents’ lives easier. I hold an MPA from Columbia University’s SIPA and am currently on sabbatical from my government position in Indonesia while living in New York. I speak Indonesian and English fluently and have basic Spanish. Whether you need a trusted date-night sitter, regular childcare, toddler care, or an extra pair of hands around the house, I’d be happy to support your family. I treat every home with care and every child with patience, respect, and genuine attention. Best, Fitri [removed]284 [removed] _____ P.S. I’m open to part-time opportunities during my career transition. You can find my background here:[removed]
