I'm an enthusiastic childcare provider with two years of experience caring for children of various ages. I'm passionate about fostering children's growth and development, and I find great joy in positively impacting their lives. I have a friendly and approachable personality, and I'm very comfortable communicating with parents about their child's day or any issues that arise. I do this via regular updates and verbal communication at pickup. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules and enjoy playing a variety of games with children, such as educational games that promote learning, board games and puzzles, and outdoor sports and physical games. I have some college education, currently working on my bachelors degree and am CPR and First Aid certified. I'm also bilingual and speak both English and Spanish. I hope to meet you and your child soon, and I look forward to providing them with a safe, nurturing, and fun environment.
I’m a responsible, organized, and dependable professional based in the West Village. I work full-time in corporate operations during the week and am specifically looking for weekend opportunities to help local families with childcare, pet care, and household support. I’ve also been a Wag! dog walker and pet caregiver since 2019, giving me several years of experience caring for pets of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I enjoy working with families because it gives me a chance to step away from my typical workweek, do something more hands-on, and spend my time helping others in a way that feels rewarding. I studied psychology and graphic design, and I especially enjoy creative activities, staying active, and spending time with kids. I’m primarily available Saturdays and Sundays and would love to find a family I can help regularly or occasionally. I’m reliable, communicative, organized, and happy to help make your weekends a little easier.
Hello! My name is Phoebe, and I'm currently based in Manhattan. Prior to moving to NYC, I lived in Colorado, where I studied Sociology at CU Boulder. I love working with kids, and have experiences nannying with all ages. I've worked as a camp counselor for many years, so I'm pretty handy when it comes to outdoor games and activities! I also love to cook, and love getting kids involved in cooking, crafts, and other fun activities. I am happy to help with Travel, Housekeeping, and Cooking!
Hi! My name is Sierra, and I am a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of The Arts Drama program (2024) with experience with caring for children from 1-10 years of age in the past. I’m now a professional actor and filmmaker on top of providing childcare. I have previously worked as a tour guide for my hometown's history museum which worked primarily with school groups. Thus, I have a lot of experience with large groups of elementary aged children. I have also performed children's theatre in the past. I am proud to be from a teaching family—with family members who work in the Department of Education in CA, public school teaching, and are professors at top universities around the world. Similarly, I have provided ACT and SAT English instruction in the past for high school students and scored a 34 in English and a 35 in Reading on the ACT. Including my theatre experience, I also speak Mandarin (intermediate). My hobbies include film photography, cooking (I was an apprentice at a two-star Michelin restaurant), hiking, exploring historical sites, and studying philosophy. I believe in the importance in helping nurture a child's empathy and their skills to later be a fully functioning adult. I believe that it is more important than ever for children to be able to express themselves and have someone to listen to them. I would be happy and honored to be someone who can help your child feel heard. I hope that in turn it would inspire them to be someone who reaches out to others as well.
Hi! My name is Aleesha. I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys helping others. I have experience caring for children, assisting family members, helping with household tasks, and caring for pets. People often describe me as patient, kind, empathetic, and trustworthy. I pay close attention to detail, communicate well, and always strive to create a safe, positive, and supportive environment. Whether it’s helping with daily routines, providing companionship, assisting with errands, or keeping a home organized, I take pride in being reliable and giving my best effort. I love building meaningful connections and making a positive difference in people’s lives through compassionate care.
