Booked by 1 family in Yonkers, NY

I am a mother of two, wildly energetic toddlers under the age of 5! I have a Masters in Social Work, am passionate about the neurodivergent community and I'm a houseplant enthusiast! My love for pets is unmatched and unbiased (cats + dogs are equally adored). I have experience as a part-time nanny (10+ years) and continue to work with children presently. I welcome the opportunity to support any household needs families may have as well!

Hi my name is Angela and I am currently a stay at home wife. I am offering childcare in your home and household services. I love being a sitter to children of any age group. I enjoy singing lullabies to newborns as much as counting numbers and things to coloring and reading books with toddlers, the joy I get from reading to children 😊 I have cleaned many homes, from vacuuming to laundry to organizing and also run errands (walking distance) because I don’t drive. Most importantly I am very loving towards children and trustworthy and respectful to the children as well as their parents and household. Thank you, Angela

“We hired Angela to substitute for our regular nanny when she took six weeks leave. Angela stepped in and immediately made our kids feel comfortable and safe. They took to her right away and even after six weeks they are always glad to see her. She has a handle on them at all times - her guidance and nurturing of them has been impeccable. She did art projects with them, played on the floor with them, read with them, and was completely focused on them at all times. We feel so much respect and affection for Angela. We will miss her very much.”

Bernarda $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Bernarda and I am 25 years old. I am currently working at a part time legal assistant position while also building my career in the wine industry. I have been working with kids since the age of 15, where I started coaching tennis to a 10 and under group with The New York Junior Tennis League. My experience working with kids is not something I learned at my job. Growing up at home my mom was a babysitter, and I always helped her take care of the children, from toddlers to kids in elementary school. I grew up with these children in my house and I learned to love them, help them with homework, and even take them out on small trips with my mother. Ever since I have helped my mom with babysitting , children have always been part of my life. Eventually,I was able to continue to work with children teaching them and making tennis a fun game for them to learn. I love to read, play tennis, and dance as well. I also speak Spanish and I would gladly be able to teach your son or daughter. I promise to take care of your child like they were my own. Make each day with me fun and exciting !
