I have more than 7 years of child-care experience. I enjoy outdoor activities. I am open to light household cleaning and running errands. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes.
Hi! My name is Tahsin. I am here to support with dog care, dog boarding, and dog walking. I own a 5 year old beagle mix who gets along with all dogs. We enjoy pack walks and overnight stays.
Hello! I would describe myself as patient, friendly, understanding, reliable, and great with kids :) Feel free to ask for the contact info of my references! As of right now, I am the regular sitter for 4-year old & 10-month old sisters. I am seeking occasional/one-time jobs for when I have availability. I previously worked at Breindy Active Fitness. I would watch 2-8 kids at once, all under 3, and many were newborns. I have experience playing with children, calming them from tears, feeding them, changing diapers, reading with/to children, night-time & day-time routines, and more. In my senior year of high school I interned at the Jewish Community Center Day Care. I was a teacher aide for a classroom of 5 year olds. One of the kids had special needs. In high school, I was a part of a club that contained kids with autism and kids without autism. We did many different bonding activities together that exercised my capacity for patience and understanding. I raised with a dog and a cat in the house for over 12 years and consistently took care of them. I often dog sit/cat sit/house sit for my friends when they are on a trip. I grew up very active and played on the Volleyball, Swim, and Rugby Teams at school. I also danced ballet for 10+ years. I love arts & crafts and playing! Also my major was English Literature, so I love stories and reading.
I will add more to this later I cat sit and have for many years. I also foster and have done that for 10 years in New York City! I love cats and can also give medications
Hi I'm Einstein, some prefer Frankie but all nicknames are welcome! I have been sitting for 8+ consecutive years CPR + First Aid Certified. I am reliable, responsible, and joy with your little ones. Whatever your needs, I'm here to help! As a volunteer youth counselor and lifelong caregiver, supervisors and parents have always recognized my great communication and innate ability to form a bond with any child. I am from a family of healthcare professionals and growing up I took on the role of caring for my newborn little brother. I've spent years honing my skills as l helped raise my little brother alongside my parents then responsible for babysitting other young relatives as well as the kids of neighboring families and friends known to prioritize their safety, health, and happiness!
“Einstein did a great job and really went above and beyond deep cleaning out apartment! Plus she’s just a joy to be around and I felt so comfortable having her in our home.”
