Hi! My name is Miel, and I am a 20-year-old student at the University of Texas at Austin, where I study Health and Society on the pre-med track. I'm from New York and currently live in Brooklyn! I have been babysitting for several years and have experience caring for children of different ages, including helping with homework, preparing meals and snacks, organizing activities, managing bedtime routines, and ensuring children feel safe and supported while their parents are away. In addition to babysitting, I worked with first graders through The GO Project, a nonprofit educational program in New York City. In this role, I helped students with reading and math, supported classroom activities, encouraged positive behavior, and built meaningful relationships with children from diverse backgrounds. This experience strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to connect with young children in a fun and engaging way. I am CPR-aware, highly responsible, organized, and dependable. As a pre-med student with experience volunteering in pediatric healthcare settings, I am comfortable remaining calm under pressure and attentive to children's needs. I love arts and crafts, reading, outdoor activities, games, and helping children learn and build confidence. Families describe me as warm, mature, trustworthy, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. My goal is always to create a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where children feel happy, supported, and cared for.

My name is Meagan and I am a Bushwick bound childcare expert and teaching artist who loves working with children! I describe myself as, an empathetic creative with many vibrant colors. I love to act, sing, dance, & empower children. My friends would say that I'm a joyful spirit with a laugh the size of Las Vegas, which is where I'm originally from! I am the co-creator of Mixed in America, a community organization created to empower and uplift multiracial families & individuals. I lead support groups & do workshops for schools around the country. I am a proud mixed-race woman myself so giving back in this way is extremely important to me. This work has made me deeply vulnerable to the unique needs of children, & their desire to be truly seen, felt & heard by their caretakers. I love helping children express themselves! I encourage them to celebrate their uniqueness by facilitating the creation of their own stories/plays/dances/etc. I adore teaching children early on about the power of their own imagination. I see children as enormous souls in small packages, and that mantra ensures that I never underestimate their brilliance. I have 15 years of childcare experience working with children ranging from newborn to teens. This includes children with autism, special needs, ADHD and stuttering. My training includes over 7 years of arts education through organizations such as Lincoln Center Education, Girl Be Heard, The Stuttering Association for the Young, Bartol's Trauma Informed training, Girl's First Trauma Informed training, & Mama Glow Doula training. Additionally, I have a BFA in Drama from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. One of my greatest skills is my emotionally intuitive nature. I am able to connect with the emotional needs of a child while also honoring boundaries, rules, and safety. I've lived in Nevada, North Carolina, Philadelphia and New York City, so I have experience with diverse families from many different cultures and walks of life. Lastly, I am comfy in the kitchen and I enjoy keeping my environment organized and tidy. You can count on me to leave your home tidier than I found it! Thank you so much for any consideration and I look forward to hearing from your lovely family!

Hi, I'm Wyatt, I'm 23, and I recently graduated Columbia University. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have lots of experience with kids, both as a babysitter (since middle school) and as a summer camp counselor (throughout high school and college). I have minimal experience with toddlers and no experience with infants, but would love the opportunity to gain experience with these ages. As a babysitter, my responsibilities have included driving to/from school, tutoring, and even drum lessons! I love doing magic tricks, playing games, and doing arts and crafts! I also can work as a household assistant and cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am happy to cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks!

As the oldest sibling of 4, I really have a knack for entertaining kids. My schedule is pretty flexible and I am able to work early morning and late nights. I was a camp counselor for 4 years so I have a lot of experience with kids from the ages of 4 - 16. I also have spent 3 years nannying for a family who had an infant, so I also have infant experience.
