Tatyana $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Tatyana, a dependable, capable, and thoughtful extra set of hands for families and households throughout New York City. For more than ten years, I’ve worked with children, pets, and busy households in different capacities, learning that no two families operate the same way. My approach is adaptable, intuitive, and grounded in understanding how to support a home without disrupting it. I started babysitting in middle school with my younger cousins and quickly became the neighborhood’s trusted sitter throughout high school. In 2021, I worked as a nanny for three children ages 5, 7, and 9, helping manage the rhythm of daily life through school support, meals, activities, park outings, crafts, games, and homework. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children at once and stepping in wherever needed to keep things running smoothly. In addition to childcare, I offer cat care, dog walking, light senior companionship, and household support including laundry, cooking, errands, organization, and deep cleaning. I understand that the best household support often comes from anticipating needs before they become tasks. Some families prefer structure and routines. Others thrive with flexibility. I adjust accordingly while remaining reliable, calm, and respectful of the systems already in place within your home. I enjoy reading with children, creative projects, board games, outdoor time, and creating an environment where children feel both safe and genuinely cared for. Availability • Evenings and weekends • One-time and occasional support Rates • $28/hour • $175 flat overnight rate I am not currently CPR certified but would be happy to obtain certification if requested. I look forward to connecting and learning how I can best support your family and home!!
