Henry $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Bloomington, NY

I grew up with a younger sister who was quadriplegic, and I’ve been a natural caregiver ever since. I’ve always been the responsible one in my friend groups, and my friends’ parents would call me when they wanted to know how their kids were doing in school. Even as a kid, I was drawn to helping children who were misunderstood. I’m empathetic, nonjudgmental, and a good listener. I’d rather spend time doing things a child is genuinely interested in than impose activities on them, and I’ve found that children often have a lot more to teach me than I could ever teach them. My childcare experience ranges from one-on-one babysitting to classroom teaching and violin instruction. I’ve worked with toddlers through teenagers, and I also spent several years doing crisis counseling with young people ages 13–24. I’ve been a hospice volunteer for two years and work as a death doula, so I’m also very comfortable providing compassionate care to older adults and supporting families through difficult transitions. I’m also a professional pet sitter and will care for your pets with the same attentiveness and love I give my own.

Stefanie $25 per hour for 1 child

NICU Registered Nurse with more than 20 years of experience caring for newborns, infants, and children. I specialize in newborn and infant care, including overnight newborn support, care for premature infants, and helping families adjust during the early weeks at home. As a mother of three and an experienced healthcare professional, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, calm, and dependable to care for your child. Families can feel confident knowing their children are in capable, experienced hands. I am available for date nights, occasional childcare, overnight newborn care, and recurring childcare needs. My hospital schedule varies, but I can often accommodate advance scheduling and ongoing arrangements. Outside of work, I enjoy horseback riding, gardening, and spending time with my family.
