Hi! My name is Azra, and I’m a college student in New York City. I’m a dependable, patient, and friendly caregiver who enjoys creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for children. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, doing arts and crafts, or simply keeping kids engaged, I’m happy to help make your family’s day a little easier. I’ve worked in customer service for several years, which has taught me responsibility, communication, and how to stay calm under pressure. I’m comfortable helping with meal preparation, light housekeeping, running errands, and keeping routines organized. I’m also happy to assist with homework and creative activities, especially drawing, painting, and other arts and crafts. I’m currently attending college while working, so I understand the importance of being reliable, punctual, and respectful of every family’s unique routine. My goal is to provide parents with peace of mind while making sure their children feel safe, cared for, and have fun.

Hi families! My name is Kate, and I’m currently pursuing my graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling. My classes are in the mornings, so I’m available for afternoon and evening childcare starting around 3:00 PM. I’m a mom of two grown daughters, ages 18 and 19, so I’ve spent many years caring for children and know how much patience, consistency, and warmth they need at every age. I’m comfortable caring for babies, toddlers, school-age children, and teens. My background in Psychology and my current graduate training have also taught me a great deal about children’s emotions, communication, and development. I’m calm, attentive, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe and positive environment where children feel comfortable and understood. I’m happy to help with school pick-ups, homework, after-school routines, playtime, activities, and preparing healthy, kid-friendly meals and snacks. I’m also a published cookbook author, so cooking is something I truly enjoy! I have my own car , so I’m comfortable with school pick-ups and driving children to activities. Most importantly, I understand that caring for someone’s children is a position of trust. I’m respectful of each family’s routines, rules, privacy, and parenting style, and I always aim to be reliable, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I’d love to get to know your family and see how I can help make your afternoons and evenings a little easier!

Hello my name is Jillian. I have tons of experience with child care. I provide "datenight" and "weekend" child care for families on other list servers and can provide excellent references. I am dog friendly. Look forward in meeting you!

Hi – My name is Marbelis. I am offering child care and household services. I have experience caring for children of different ages and hold both a childcare certification and a First Aid certificate. I truly enjoy spending time with kids, creating a safe, fun, and educational environment where they can feel comfortable and happy. I am multilingual—I speak Spanish, French, and Dutch—which helps me connect with families from different backgrounds. Families describe me as respectful, patient, and trustworthy. I am also hardworking, disciplined, and very responsible with my duties. In addition to childcare, I can assist with light household tasks, help with homework, prepare simple meals, and organize creative activities that keep children engaged and learning. Caring for children is something I truly enjoy, and I take pride in being someone families can trust.

I’ve been involved with child care and educational extracurriculars since high school, from camp counseling to coaching robotics. I’m currently studying Interactive Media Arts at NYU, with additional coursework in Studio Art, Journalism, and Computer Science, blending my love for inquiry, storytelling, and media arts. Along the way, I’ve tutored math and am comfortable adding language arts, science, and history subjects to my repertoire. When I babysit, my goal is to ensure children have fun in immersing experience. This builds everyday learning--whether through imaginative play or tackling a skill they thought was out of reach. I love art projects and hands-on activities, and I’ve even got some colorful materials ready for crafting adventures! Plus, I’m always up for getting on the floor to explore toys and trinkets with as much enthusiasm as they do. I’m also a pet lover, comfortable with cats and a proud dog mom to a Chihuahua mix. Whether it’s an afternoon of creativity or helping with homework, I strive to create a positive, engaging experience for every child I work with.
