Hello, I'm Xiomara. I absolutely adore working with children. I have experience with babies; toddlers and pre-school age, as well as pre- teens in an academic setting. I am sweet, nurturing and very caring. Parents and teachers I have worked with describe me as warm, very patient, kind, empathetic and enthusiastic. I started working with children, and families, when I was 18 years old. I treat children with love as if they were my own. I am intuitive and attentive to all aspects of a infant needs, from diaper changes to being bottle fed, cuddles, tummy time, nap time to making healthy purées. I also love to read, speak and sing to them throughout the day. With older kids, I promote fun and positivity, safety and encourage a child's natural talent. I can also prepare healthy food, keep kids engaged in play, and read stories while giving voices to each character! I love to arrange play dates, help children meet & make new friends, as well as introduce them to their surroundings, neighborhood & nature. I am active and participate in every activity from arts, music classes, to the playground. There's always an adventure to be had! I love cats and have taken care of them and dogs, if you have pets it's ok with me. I am a native of New York City. I have worn many hats throughout life but I feel working with children is the most meaningful and fulfilling line of work. I hope to meet a family that would like me to be a part of a team to help keep their children safe, happy, loved and learning every day. In my spare time, I am passionate about the healing arts, music, meditation, nutrition, writing, film, photography, dancing, swimming, cycling, & yoga. I am currently looking for opportunities to care for children Part Time or Full time for the right family. Please let me know if you have any questions, I hope to hear from you soon! Best wishes, Xiomara

Hi, I’m Lyric! I‘ve worked at a childcare facility and have nannied for years! I’ve gotten a minor in adolescence psychology and child development, so I really enjoy getting to know each child as an individual and creating an environment where they feel happy and understood! At the childcare center, I worked with children in an active, social environment where I had to be patient, playful, and responsible at the same time! My neuroscience background also helps me understand attention, emotional regulation, learning styles, and how much children benefit from consistency, patience, and confidence-building. Families can expect me to be dependable, kind, communicative, and fully present. I really care about making children feel safe and excited to be themselves! I’m also happy to help with light household tasks, routines, snacks/meals, homework support, and pet care when needed.

Hi! I’m Mel, your child’s future best friend :) I’m a dedicated and nurturing childcare provider, household manager, home organizer, and personal chef with over a decade of experience caring for all ages, from infants to teens, and everything in-between. I prioritize creating a safe, stimulating, and supportive environment that promotes growth, curiosity, and confidence. My background includes expertise in child development and I have a strong interest in child psychology and learning how to best support their emotional needs. I have extensive experience with neurodivergent children and those with differing needs and I tailor my care to support each child individually. There is no one-size-fits-all method with children and I genuinely enjoy learning with each child in my care. In addition to my childcare credentials, I have a medical background, I’m CPR/BLS certified, an experienced personal chef, and a passionate home (and life!) organizer. I'd love to bring these skills to your household to help your lives run more seamlessly. I pride myself on having an individual approach for each family's unique needs and I look forward to hearing more about your family and what you’re looking for!

Hi! I'm Shterna, and I'm 26 years old. I grew up in central Brooklyn in a big family of 11, with 28 nieces and nephews (ages 0-16) and over 100 first cousins. Being surrounded by kids my whole life, I naturally picked up childcare early on. I started working with kids professionally in middle school as a babysitter and summer camp counselor. After finishing school in 2018, I primarily worked as a nanny (with a brief stint in corporate) and continue to nanny today. I have lots of experience with newborns, multiples, classrooms (of infants, toddlers, and junior high-school) long shifts, overnights and weekends, children who are unwell, and working with two-parent households and transporting kids around the city. I also have experience caring for dogs and cats, hold a driver’s license, and am vaccinated. Outside of work, I’m an avid reader and Boggle player. I love putting on makeup, jump on any opportunity to hear live-music, and enjoy schmoozing with friends. As a religious Jew, my weekend availability can be limited, but I’m happy to work around it when possible. I’m semi-fluent in Hebrew (and Yiddish) and enjoy sharing my culture with anyone interested! I look forward to hearing from you and am happy to answer any questions or provide additional information and references.
