Hi - My name is Kelly and I'm currently a sophomore at SUNY Purchase. I am offering child care, pet care, and light cleaning duties. I was a three sport athlete for most of my life and have helped take care of my 7 year old cousin from age 1-present as well as my new baby niece who is 4m.

Hello! My name is Mica! I LOVE working with kids and families. I have a TON of experience and consider myself a natural caretaker with a very loving, engaged and nurturing approach. In my over 20 years of experience working as a childcare provider, I have worked for over 60 families and watched literally hundreds of children. I've worked with some families for over 10 years, watching as their family grew from one 2 year old to having four kids! From newborn to middle school, but with the majority of my experience being with newborns and infants to young elementary. My mother was a nursery school teacher and my siblings and I worked summers at their nursery school camp program, which is where I had a lot of parents asking me to babysit from there. I worked occasionally as a substitute assistant teacher at that same nursery school as well. I have a B.A. in Psychology and took classes on developmental psychology, studying attachment theory and so on. A little more about my background: I am the oldest child in my family and even amongst extended family and family friends children, so since I was a child myself I've been put in charge of watching the younger kids! But I started babysitting officially at 14. I also have young nieces and nephew who I've watched extensively as well :) I am half Japanese and grew up living in Japan at least every other summer. I speak a little Japanese and know a little Spanish as well and consider myself very culturally sensitive. I've also taken cross-cultural psychology and just have a real love of other cultures, I've worked for multiple families with immigrant parents and bilingual children :) Some personal interests are health and wellness/fitness/dance, healthy plant based cooking, volunteering, music! I sing and play a little guitar and love when the kids get excited about that as well! I drive and have my own car, I've taken children to and from every activity including doctors appointments. I've done overnights, full weekends and have traveled internationally with families. I can cook/prepare meals, help with homework where needed and do some light housekeeping as well if desired. I have experience with elderly relatives in the home with dementia, etc, and experience with pet and plant sitting. I am open and flexible! :) Feel free to ask me about anything else I may have missed! Love working with and helping families and look forward to working with yours! :) Be well and looking forward to chatting! :) -Mica
