Hello! I’m an energetic, fun, and loving sitter/nanny with many years of experience working with infants, toddlers, children, teens, and young adults across various capacities such as nannying, within after school programs, residential programs, regular school day teaching, special needs therapist, pediatric palliative care, and general childcare provider. I'm easygoing, patient, friendly, creative, reliable, responsible, and a great communicator with parents regarding their children. I'm happy to work with dogs in the household, but am allergic to cats. I kindly ask that you please advise if anyone in the household has been displaying cold or covid related symptoms within the last 24 hours and I will do the same. Similarly, if your child has challenges, I ask that you please be transparent about those challenges from the beginning rather than waiting for the challenges to become apparent after arranging care.Please be considerate, respectful, and professional with booking as inconsiderate care seekers can cause great inconvenience. For cancellations that occur with less than 24 hours notice, cancellation payment will be requested. For recurring jobs, cancellation pay will be requested if needing to cancel with less than 2 weeks notice. Should your care session end early, please pay for the time booked, same for sessions that go past the scheduled time. For in person meetings or interviews, a paid hour of time will be requested. Please advise in advance regarding parking restrictions in your neighborhood, if any. I look forward to connecting with you and your family!

Hi! My name is Eden, I’m 20 years old and I am a born and raised New Yorker. I am currently attending college at UC Santa Cruz in California where I am studying psychology and economics and work as a campus tour guide and an indoor cycling instructor!I have been babysitting for around 9 years and have experience with children ranging from 2 months to 12 years old. I have been working for the same family for almost 4 years now. I started working for them when their first son was about 8 months old. During this time I would come at night while he was sleeping or put him to sleep myself. As he got older I started going in the daytime, taking him to the playground/park, playinggames, and doing arts and crafts. Right before I left for college I was able to babysit his newborn brother! I am now home for the summer and looking for more babysitting jobs! I am available practically anytime of day and would be willing to stay overnight.
