"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Hello! My name is Lilly! I have my Bachelors in Early Childhood and Childhood Education and am currently pursuing my Masters in Childhood Special Education. I also have experience from working as an assistant at an Child Care Center with children ranging from 5-12 years old and diaper changing from my younger cousins. I have a passion for working with children, want to help them learn new things, and can implement age- appropriate activities. I am very patient, punctual, compassionate, attentive, responsible, and prioritize safety and comfort. I enjoy reading, arts & crafts, and games! I am available for child care services & light household services. ****I would like to find jobs that are in the NYC area as I do not have a car and rely on public transportation. ***** I grew up with a chihuahua and currently have 2 cats. I am comfortable with both dogs and cats and can assist with feeding and playtime if needed. If you have any questions, please reach out. I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you!
“Lilly was extremely professional and reliable. My 11 year old son warmed up to her, so did our two small dogs! She was very diligent. She made sure to listen to our expectations and delivered perfect care. I would recommend her services. ”

Hi! My name is Sam, and I’m 22 years old. I’m currently a college student pursuing a career as a paramedic. I’ve been working as a nanny and babysitter for nearly four years, and I truly love caring for children. I enjoy doing crafts, baking, and going on little adventures that make learning fun and engaging. Creating a safe, positive, and happy environment for kids is very important to me. I’m also a big animal lover and have three pets of my own!
“Sam has worked with our family for several years and has been truly wonderful. She’s helped care for our two children since they were very young and our kids absolutely love her. She is always dependable and such a kind person. Our kids are always out on fun activities around the city with Sam, and they love spending time with her. Even as our kids have grown, she’s still an active part of our lives. We trust her completely and would highly recommend her to any family.”

Hi my name is Shajna and I am a stay at home mother. I have three children of my own so I have a lot of experience!! I can work with toddlers and infants. I can work around the house, feeding and putting them to sleep and taking them to school. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands.
“Shajna responded to an unusual request for a targeted intensive two weeks with our nine month old while I traveled on business. We are so lucky she did! Shajna was a marvelous nanny: professional, engaged, warm, responsible, and a joy to be around. She expertly learned our daughter's rhythms and got her to sleep faster than we imagined possible. She is an abundantly generous, unobtrusive and friendly presence to boot. We cannot recommend her highly enough!”
