“I have known Angie for several decades and have always found her to be a loving giving woman who loves children and animals. She can always be counted on and is always 'true' to her word. She is a hard worker and there is no job she cannot handle. She has helped me many times (as I'm elderly) with housework, etc. She is a very special friend that I am blessed to have in my 'corner'.”

Tasia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is T’Asia, and I am a caring, patient, and dependable childcare provider. I am also a mother to two young children—a 3-year-old boy and a 1-year-old girl—which has given me hands-on experience with infants and toddlers and a deep understanding of children’s daily needs, routines, and safety. I provide a nurturing and structured environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn through play. I am experienced with feeding, diapering, nap schedules, potty training support, and engaging children in age-appropriate activities such as reading, music, and outdoor play. As a parent, I understand how important trust and communication are. I take pride in being attentive, reliable, and respectful of each family’s preferences and routines. Safety is always my top priority, and I remain calm and patient in all situations. I am happy to help with light childcare-related tasks, including meal prep for children and tidying play areas. I look forward to working with a family who values loving, dependable care and open communication. References are available upon request.

Booked by 1 family in Port Jervis, NY

My name is Keidy and you can think of me as your Swiss Army knife of child care. Not only am I backed by years of experience and multiple first aid certifications, but my love of children (especially the furry ones) as well! If you give me the opportunity I will protect and entertain your little one while you’re out being super mom/ dad!

“Keidy was a pleasure to have and demonstrated excellent attention to detail while caring for my six-month-old dog and my seven-year-old niece, who can be quite a handful.”

Skylar $17 per hour for 1 child

My name is Skylar, I am currently a college student majoring in dental hygiene. I have plenty of experience with kids and pets since I was 14. I am very attentive and mindful when watching children and I practice with them in terms of communication, emotional regulation/support, and of course safety! I also carefully abide by any medication, eating, and bed time schedules. I strive to allow parents to go out on the town again knowing their babies are safe with hourly updates!!
