Hello! I am Stella, a Brooklyn-based (am happy to commute around the city) caregiver and recent college graduate with over 8 years of experience, primarily working with children ages 2-12. I’m an extremely patient and compassionate babysitter, who values communication with both kids and parents. I have experience with children experiencing neurodivergence and de-escalating big emotions with care, understanding, and speaking to children as equals. I prioritize safety/health, trust-building, and emotional well-being; minimizing screen-time and favoring outdoor activities, indulging in our imagination, art-making, learning, and hands-on activities. I’m an artist who loves dance, crafting, reading & writing, nature walks, and grounding exercises to calm down after a long day. I walk or take public transportation, am learning Italian and Spanish, and am extremely happy to cook healthy meals, clean, run errands, commute to various activities, and care for dogs and cats. I bring warmth, curiosity, joy, and love to every home I work with. I would love to chat and see if I’m a good fit for your family!

Hi! I’m Abi, a Behavioral Specialist with over 10 years of professional experience working with children in schools, private childcare, tutoring, and residential settings. I specialize in supporting neurodivergent children, including those with ADHD, autism, and sensory processing differences, while creating a fun, structured, and nurturing environment where every child feels safe, understood, and confident. I believe the best childcare balances warmth with consistency. Whether we’re doing arts and crafts, reading, exploring outside, helping with homework, or navigating big emotions, I strive to meet children where they are and encourage their curiosity, independence, and growth. Families describe me as calm, reliable, patient, and engaging. I’m proactive, communicate openly, and enjoy helping households run smoothly by preparing meals, maintaining routines, organizing play spaces, and anticipating what’s needed before being asked. Along with my childcare experience, I have over 10 years of tutoring experience and love making learning enjoyable through creative, individualized support. I have experience caring for infants through school-aged children, am CPR certified, have excellent references, and am comfortable with pets, transportation, and light household tasks. My goal is always the same: to become someone children look forward to seeing and someone parents feel completely confident trusting with the people they love most.
