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.

Paloma $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m an 18-year-old college freshman at Sarah Lawrence College studying Art History and Psychology. I’ve been babysitting for families throughout high school, and even before that, I regularly helped out neighbors and family friends. I grew up in a close-knit community in California, so I’ve always been surrounded by little ones and genuinely love being around kids. I’m excited to bring that same energy and experience to new families here in New York!
