Hi! My name is Guliana! I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Social Work and work with middle and high school students. I have previous experience working with children and young adults with disabilities, which has helped me develop a patient, caring, and attentive approach when working with children of all ages. I also have experience pet sitting and am comfortable caring for both cats and dogs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and make it a priority to give them my full attention while creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment. I’m happy to help with homework, playtime, meals, bedtime routines, and anything else your family may need. I’m also willing to help with light cleaning, cooking, errands, and other household tasks. I’m very flexible with scheduling and am happy to work with your family to find an arrangement that works best for everyone. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide dependable, caring support for your children!
I am a 19 year old dedicated college student pursuing a nursing career under pediatrics seeking to expand my work ethic with an understanding of children’s behavior and needs. I am an enthusiastic, caring, and organized individual looking to grow as a person and professional every day while prioritizing children. I am a young lady myself, but i prioritize the safety of children with softness and calmness and will forever care over any child like they are my own family.
Hi! I’m Maddie, a 22 year old recent college graduate who just started working full time as a paralegal in Manhattan. I’m looking for some extra work with flexible scheduling and really miss my many previous jobs working with children, so I figured this would be the perfect fit!
Hi families! I'm a warm, reliable, and energetic caregiver who genuinely enjoys working with children and creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. I have experience caring for infants as well as children ranging from 1-12 years old. I am naturally a creative and love incorporating creativity, educational activities, and outdoor adventures into our time together. I understand the importance of finding someone you can trust with your little ones so I am very patient, attentive, and big on communication. I look forward to becoming a helping hand for your family!
My name is Myleah and I’m a 19 yo sophomore at NYU. I am so excited to work with you and your family! Child care is my passion, so any child in my care will be treated as so. I’ve been babysitting for 3 years and was a camp counselor in 2025. I have experience working with infants-14year olds, so I’m open to all! My favorite activity to do with children is play pretend, crafts, dancing, and singing! I’m also open to sports and cater to children’s special interests. I can help tutor, cook, paint, etc! I am CPR and First Aid Trained, as well as a mandated reporter.
“We have had Myleah in our family a couple times and she’s been an amazing and reliable babysitter for us. My little ones love her. She arrives on time and asks many needed questions to give my kids the best care. She is dependent and trustworthy. In addition, my kids have great time with her and she even helps around the house and helps kids with homework. Overall very great.”
