Hi everyone, My name is Kavonah or Kay for the little ones. Currently, I am a school social worker. I have worked with kids in different settings including schools, summer camps, and daycare. I have worked with all ages and enjoy working with all age groups. I love doing different activities with children including arts and crafts, puzzles, drawing, card games, etc. I am able to incorporate social emotional learning into these activities where kids will learn social skills such as sharing, emotional regulation, respect, making good choices, conversation skills, conflict resolution, etc. I am comfortable with cooking, cleaning, run errands, and other tasks around the home.

Hi! I'm Debbie. I am a pediatric occupational therapist that specializes in providing services in English, Spanish or a mix of both. I am founder and owner of Estrellita OT. For over 13 years, I have worked with children and youth in a variety of capacities such as: camp counselor, babysitter, museum educator, tutor, and health educator. I absolutely love working with children and teens, and am seeking to support young people in a caretaking position as supplemental income. With my educational & professional experience, I have an in-depth understanding of child development and research-backed childcare methods. With my experience as an occupational therapist, I have expertise in understanding how a child's daily routines and meaningful activities have an impact on their individual wellbeing, which significantly informs the way I provide childcare. For example, I strategically use educational play ( a child's meaningful activity) to engage them in their daily routines such as during meals or bedtime. My favorite occupation is play! I love table-top games like Jenga, UNO, or checkers. I also enjoy creative projects like painting, drawing, and making friendship bracelets. I have tutoring experience in grades K-5th grade. I specialize in reading and writing, but can also support with basic mathematics skills. As a native Spanish speaker, I can teach your children how to read, write, and speak in a second language. In my free time, I love making art, reading graphic novels, and exploring this amazing city. Looking forward to meeting you and your family!

Hello I am a professional retired chef and have had and raised 8 children of my own plus numerous grandchildren. I am a caretaker and experienced mother.

As a new nanny, I bring a strong background in healthcare along with a bachelor’s degree in biology, which has given me a solid understanding of child development, health, and safety. I have hands-on experience working in nursing homes and daycares, where I developed patience, attentiveness, and the ability to care for individuals with varying needs. This combination of scientific knowledge and practical caregiving experience allows me to provide thoughtful, responsible, and nurturing care for children. I have strong experience caring for children through years of babysitting my cousins and working in a licensed daycare. Babysitting taught me to manage meals, homework, playtime, and bedtime while adapting to different ages and personalities. In the daycare, I supervised groups, led age-appropriate activities, supported learning and social development, and helped maintain a safe, positive environment.I have supported children’s emotional, social, and developmental growth through age-appropriate activities, positive guidance, and consistent routines. I prioritize safety, patience, and encouragement, while fostering a calm and inclusive atmosphere where children feel secure and valued. I work closely with families to respect household preferences and support each child’s unique personality and needs. These roles built my patience, communication skills, responsibility, and ability to respond calmly to children’s needs. My experience with senior care includes providing companionship, assistance with daily activities, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and support that promotes independence and dignity. I am attentive to physical and emotional well-being, and I approach senior care with respect, empathy, and professionalism. I am also comfortable caring for pets, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, and ensuring their routines are maintained. I recognize the importance of pets as family members and treat them with the same attentiveness and responsibility. Personally, I am patient, dependable, and detail-oriented, with strong time management and organizational skills. I remain calm under pressure and adapt easily to changing situations. My ability to build positive relationships, follow instructions, and maintain confidentiality makes me a reliable and trustworthy caregiver. I take pride in providing consistent, high-quality care that supports the well-being of individuals, families, and households.
