Booked by 2 families in Dobbs Ferry, NY

Hi! I'm currently a college student majoring in psychology with aspirations for nursing school! At present, I have no idea exactly what I would like to specialize in, but I have a feeling it will ultimately be in pediatrics. I've spent most of my life working with children, be it as a general babysitter, a nanny, a peer mentor, a tutor, a lifeguard, or a camp counselor at a sleep away camp for several years. I love getting to know kids and helping them foster their interests and creativity, as well as teaching them to think out of the box! In my free time I love to go on hikes, play guitar, and most importantly I love to teach myself new things! I'm looking forward to working with you and your family.

“Very helpful and great attitude and pleasant demeanor”

Hello, my name is Daija and I am a graduate, holding my degree in public health education and promotion. I love going to museums, and experiencing new things. I have previously worked at two preschools as an assistant teacher. I changed diapers, provided meals, played with the kids, and cleaned up after them. I am offering childcare services. I have been working with kids in the school system as well as babysitting, between the ages of two and middle school ages for eight years now. I also am able to work with pets; I have two cats and a dog of my own.

Hi my name is Angela and I am currently a stay at home wife. I am offering childcare in your home and household services. I love being a sitter to children of any age group. I enjoy singing lullabies to newborns as much as counting numbers and things to coloring and reading books with toddlers, the joy I get from reading to children 😊 I have cleaned many homes, from vacuuming to laundry to organizing and also run errands (walking distance) because I don’t drive. Most importantly I am very loving towards children and trustworthy and respectful to the children as well as their parents and household. Thank you, Angela

“We hired Angela to substitute for our regular nanny when she took six weeks leave. Angela stepped in and immediately made our kids feel comfortable and safe. They took to her right away and even after six weeks they are always glad to see her. She has a handle on them at all times - her guidance and nurturing of them has been impeccable. She did art projects with them, played on the floor with them, read with them, and was completely focused on them at all times. We feel so much respect and affection for Angela. We will miss her very much.”

I am a mother of two, wildly energetic toddlers under the age of 5! I have a Masters in Social Work, am passionate about the neurodivergent community and I'm a houseplant enthusiast! My love for pets is unmatched and unbiased (cats + dogs are equally adored). I have experience as a part-time nanny (10+ years) and continue to work with children presently. I welcome the opportunity to support any household needs families may have as well!
