Hi, my name is Maneeha. I am senior at Hunter College located in Midtown, and am looking for babysitting opportunities. I love working with kids and have had the privilege to work as a tutor for a couple months for kids attending Pre-school and higher. My responsibilities included assisting them in the classroom and reviewing homework with them, and overall monitoring them as an assistant to the Teacher. I am unable to work with both cats and dogs.
Hi, it’s nice to meet you! My name is Lizzie and I’m 25 years old originally from Charlotte, NC living in LES! I’ve been working remotely in sales for a data analytics firm since 2022 and given the flexibility of my role, I’m looking for child care opportunities. I started babysitting when I was 14 years old and never took for granted the responsibility and joy I felt from working with children. Along with babysitting, petsitting, and life guarding all of high school; I also was a part time nanny (after school, M-F) for the same family my junior and senior year. I’ve worked with children from the ages of 9 month olds- 13 year olds. I’m extremely grateful for my past childcare opportunities because working with children never fails to brighten my day. I love doing crafts, going to the park, and playing games with the children I watch along with helping teach them the importance of fulfilling their daily responsibilities such as homework, chores, politeness, etc. I also love cooking and baking for children and families. I’m mostly looking for work in the evenings (anytime after 4 on weekdays with full day/night availability on weekends) but I do have more afternoon flexibility on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays for occasional one off roles. Looking forward to being a big or small addition to you and your families lives!
Hi! Thank you for taking a look at my profile! I graduated from NYU with my bachelor’s in Biology on the premed track. I now currently work as a research technician at MSK. I’m pretty new to this app, however I’ve had several years of experience caring for my younger sister along with other family members. I’m mostly open to part time/date night positions. I’m also available for tutoring and homework help particularly in the areas of math and science. If you think we’d be a good fit, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
