Booked by 1 family in Mountainville, NY

Hi- My name is Taisha and I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter, as the oldest of my family I have been watching my siblings and cousins as well as newborns, infants and toddlers, since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have included drop off and pick up/from school, crafts, tutoring, and teaching. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents I can cook, accompany them to appointments, or do other tasks. I am allergic to dogs.

“Taisha is reliable, punctual, and professional. I was worried that my dad would not be comfortable having someone other than myself help him during the day, but he had the best things to say.”

Booked by 2 families in Mountainville, NY

Hi! I’m a responsible 19-year-old sitter in the Bronx with 4 years of babysitting experience. I’ve cared for children of various ages and am comfortable managing multiple kids while keeping things organized, safe, and fun. I can assist with meal prep, light household chores, and homework help — especially in ELA and Social Studies. I enjoy helping kids build confidence in reading, writing, and understanding what they’re learning. Beyond that I have plenty experience with both cats and dogs. I’m reliable, patient, and always focused on creating a positive and supportive environment for your family. Everyone needs a break sometimes and I hope to be able to provide that for you!

“Zoe was a delight! She is so caring, polite, reliable, punctual and communicative while she cared for my son. My son loved her!! I Would definetely book again. ”

Booked by 7 families in Mountainville, NY

Hi my name is Charity but I go by Ms Harmony. I have over 20 years of experience working with young children. I was an infant and toddler preschool teacher for 15 years and a professional Super Nanny for 10years. I majored in Early Childhood Education and Child Development and became a Certified Newborn Care Specialist, Postpartum Doula, Peer Breastfeeding Support Counselor and a Professionally Certified Parenting Coach. Caring for young children and supporting parents is my passion and it brings so much joy into my life. I have a very special gift for comforting and connecting with newborns, infants and toddlers. I am very patient and can handle a crying, frustrated or difficult baby with the ability to respond to their needs in an affectionate and nurturing way. Keeping children safe is so important to me that I became a certified instructor through the American Red Cross to use and teach Adult, Child and Infant CPR/AED and First Aid to new parents and caregivers. Please feel free to contact me if you think we would be a good match. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Warm Regards, Ms Harmony
