Hello!! My name is Kelis and I'm an active 19-year-old!! I'm currently working as a summer camp counselor as well as after school counselor where we do all the running, jumping, and playing all day. This has been my job for 4 years now and it has trained me how to maneuver through many tough situations. I love my job and I enjoy seeing the children have fun and make new memories. I'm currently in college studying sociology with hopes to be a social worker in the child care sector. I'm looking for sitter opportunities to further my experience and to have fun! I love to travel and try new foods. My favorite museum would have to be the museum of ice cream or the museum of natural history. I'm currently saving to one day go to Japan!!! it's the #1 thing on my bucket list.

I would make a great nanny because I genuinely love working with children and helping them learn, grow, and feel safe. I have over 8 years of experience caring for children from infants to 12 years old, and I've worked with many different families, so I'm comfortable adapting to each family's routines and parenting style. I am patient, responsible, and dependable, and I always strive to create a fun, loving, and safe environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I am CPR and First Aid certified, bilingual in English and Spanish, and have multiple excellent references. I am looking for a long-term position where I can build a strong relationship with your family and grow alongside your children while providing reliable, loving care every day.

My name is Tonique, I live in New York and I’m a college student with over 5 years of childcare experience working with children ranging from infants to grade-school age. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to care for children in many different stages, so I’m comfortable with everything from feeding, playtime, and bedtime routines to school pickups, homework help, and keeping older kids entertained. I genuinely enjoy building relationships with the children I care for and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and able to have fun. As a college student, I’m responsible, organized, and dependable, and I’m always happy to help with homework, reading, school projects, or keeping kids on track with their after-school routines. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust and communicate openly with, so I make reliability and communication a priority. I’m also big on keeping kids engaged beyond screens! Depending on their age and interests, I love planning arts and crafts, reading together, going to the park, exploring outdoors, playing games, or coming up with creative activities to make our time together enjoyable. My personality is warm, patient, energetic, and caring, while still being able to provide structure and maintain the routines and boundaries parents have established in their home. Whether a family needs regular childcare, after-school help, date-night coverage, or an occasional sitter, I’d love the opportunity to get to know families and see if we’re a great fit!

Hi! My name is Juliana, and I recently graduated from Indiana University with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary and Special Education. This September, I’ll be starting my master’s degree at Columbia University in Psychological Counseling, with the goal of continuing to work with and support children.I have always loved working with kids and have gained experience with children of different ages and abilities in a variety of settings. I have babysat for neighbors, family friends, and relatives, helping with everything from playtime and meals to bedtime routines, homework, and keeping kids engaged and safe.My experience with children also goes beyond babysitting. I have volunteered with GiGi’s Playhouse, where I worked with individuals with Down syndrome and gained valuable experience creating a patient, encouraging, and inclusive environment. I also had the opportunity to travel to Africa and France, where I worked with children and gained an even greater appreciation for connecting with kids from different backgrounds and cultures. I also had the opportunity to be a live in nanny while teaching in France! Because of my background in elementary and special education, I understand the importance of patience, communication, structure, and making every child feel comfortable and supported. I am responsible, caring, energetic, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children while creating a fun and safe environment for them.
