Hi There! I’m Fitri! I’m a warm, reliable, and detail-oriented caregiver with 3+ years of experience caring for toddlers and children through teaching, babysitting, and children’s programs. I’m a mom myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your child and your home. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and enjoy creating a safe, positive environment where children can play, learn, and feel comfortable. I’m experienced with age-appropriate activities, reading, creative play, learning, mealtimes, routines, and helping children develop independence. I especially enjoy caring for toddlers and young children and keeping them engaged throughout the day. I’m also an excellent household helper. I’m highly organized and have a strong eye for detail. I genuinely enjoy cleaning and turning messy spaces into clean, tidy, and organized ones! I can help with children’s laundry, dishes, toy and playroom organization, light cleaning, tidying, groceries, errands, and other household tasks that make busy parents’ lives easier. I hold an MPA from Columbia University’s SIPA and am currently on sabbatical from my government position in Indonesia while living in New York. I speak Indonesian and English fluently and have basic Spanish. Whether you need a trusted date-night sitter, regular childcare, toddler care, or an extra pair of hands around the house, I’d be happy to support your family. I treat every home with care and every child with patience, respect, and genuine attention. Best, Fitri [removed]284 [removed] _____ P.S. I’m open to part-time opportunities during my career transition. You can find my background here:[removed]
Hi! I’m offering services for part-time baby-sitting or after school assistance. I began baby-sitting and nannying at 14 and have also enjoyed working with kids in educational capacities: tennis coach, summer camp instructor and youth theater programs. I have experience doing school pick up and drop off, homework help, light housework and cooking. I am happy to help around the house as needed and to cook as much as possible. At 27, I currently work part-time in the nonprofit arts and have a flexible schedule. I’m deeply passionate about art, education, communication and community. And I’m great with crafts!
With 9 years of experience, I'm passionate about creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for children. I specialize in caring for toddlers, preschoolers, and gradeschoolers, and I'm comfortable with pets, cooking, chores, and homework assistance. I'm patient, friendly, and responsible, and I love reading, crafting, and playing games with kids. I'm eager to provide exceptional care for your little ones in your home.

Hi! I'm Christel. I'm a caring, responsible, and patient person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. Over the past few years, I've gained hands-on experience helping care for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children ranging from 7 months to 10 years old. From keeping little ones entertained with activities, helping with daily routines, and caring for them independently when needed, I always strive to create a safe and fun environment. I'm dependable, attentive, and love building positive relationships with both children and their families.
