Sierra $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sierra, and I am a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of The Arts Drama program (2024) with experience with caring for children from 1-10 years of age in the past. I’m now a professional actor and filmmaker on top of providing childcare. I have previously worked as a tour guide for my hometown's history museum which worked primarily with school groups. Thus, I have a lot of experience with large groups of elementary aged children. I have also performed children's theatre in the past. I am proud to be from a teaching family—with family members who work in the Department of Education in CA, public school teaching, and are professors at top universities around the world. Similarly, I have provided ACT and SAT English instruction in the past for high school students and scored a 34 in English and a 35 in Reading on the ACT. Including my theatre experience, I also speak Mandarin (intermediate). My hobbies include film photography, cooking (I was an apprentice at a two-star Michelin restaurant), hiking, exploring historical sites, and studying philosophy. I believe in the importance in helping nurture a child's empathy and their skills to later be a fully functioning adult. I believe that it is more important than ever for children to be able to express themselves and have someone to listen to them. I would be happy and honored to be someone who can help your child feel heard. I hope that in turn it would inspire them to be someone who reaches out to others as well.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Jackson Heights, NY

Hi there! My name is Gigi. I'm originally from Seattle and currently live in Bushwick/Ridgewood. I am 37 and am a performance maker and CLOWN! I attended the University of San Francisco, where I graduated summa cum laude with a BA in Media Studies. I have worked with kiddos as a babysitter, tutor, and dance teacher since 2008 and from 2[removed], I worked as a long term nanny and family assistant. I then stepped away to focus on my artistic pursuits! I was a dancer for a long while and have more recently been pursuing performance art and physical theatre by way of theatre clowning (took a show to Edinburgh Fringe this past August, yay!). But I have missed working with little ones! Play, discovery, and having a healthy relationship with The Flop (failure) is important to my work as a performance artist as well as when working with kiddos. I'm learning no other work is as enriching or fulfilling than nurturing and supporting a child's security, creativity, curiosity, and individuality! So much so that I am in process of finding a Master’s program in Early Childhood Education with hopes to teach within the intersection of the performing arts and childhood development. I am committed to supporting and creating a reliable safe haven and secure base for kiddos so they may thrive, play, and learn with confidence. I myself have learned a lot and been inspired by my own inner-child healing and children’s advocacy self-study. In my own personal life, a lot of my time and energy is spent using the arts as a healing modality, as well as working through generational trauma and dysfunctional family patterns and behaviors. I find that this work has taught me to become a more empathetic, nurturing, and patient caregiver and has greatly impacted how I relate to children in particular. I am incredibly careful and intentional with my time spent around kids and hope to provide only the warmest, most supportive, and gently engaging environment. Thank you so much for your consideration and time and I look forward to supporting your family any way I can :o)
