I'm a native New Yorker working on getting my undergraduate in Fashion Design. I have 5+ years experience in childcare, and can work with children or infants. As of recently, I have worked with toddlers and older babies. In my free time I love to sew, go to the park and make music!
My name is Candace and I’m offering child care and household services. I am an energetic, responsible, and experienced childcare professional with a passion for creating fun, engaging, and memorable experiences for children of all ages. My background includes working with children in educational, recreational, and entertainment settings, allowing me to build strong connections while fostering creativity, confidence, and learning. As a performer with Disney Cruise Line, I had the opportunity to inspire and entertain children daily through music, storytelling, and dance. I also worked as a dance instructor teaching children ages 6 months to 8 years old, helping them develop coordination, self-expression, and confidence in a positive and encouraging environment. In addition, I have held multiple after-school teaching positions where I worked with children ranging from preschool age through middle school, supporting their growth through educational and enrichment activities. I also owned and operated a princess party company, where I spent weekends creating magical experiences for children while ensuring every event was safe, interactive, and engaging. My experience has taught me how to connect with children of different ages and personalities, maintain a safe and nurturing environment, and keep kids entertained through creative activities, games, crafts, music, and imaginative play. I am reliable, patient, and dedicated to making every child feel valued, supported, and excited to learn and have fun. I also have a passion for dogs and raised my goldendoodle in the city since he was 10 weeks old. I have experience dog walking and dog sitting!
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.
Hello! My name is Ashlee and I love kids! I am a dance teacher and performer so I have been working with kids for over a decade in the classroom along with caring for others as a babysitter throughout the years. I have experience teaching ages from 2-18 so I really know how to communicate and connect with them. I love playing outside, reading to kids, spending quality time, and trying to teach them new skills as well. One day I want to have kids of my own so I accept every opportunity to care for a child with a ton of gratitude from the start because I know how precious those young years are, and it’s more practice for me in hopes of being a mom one day myself.
Hi— my name is Ava and I’m a current graduate student studying at Columbia University. I am offering childcare and household services. I love kids and have been working with them for the past 4 years. I have 3 years experience of teaching toddlers survival swim, and 2 years of teaching and camp counselor experience with elementary aged children. I have also been a babysitter for my own younger siblings, one of which has a disability. All of this experience has given me patience needed to work well with kids :) I enjoy doing outdoor activities, arts and crafts, and reading to kids. I can also clean and run errands. The one thing I cannot do is drive, but hopefully that is not too much of a problem in the city.

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."
Lila P., parent

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
