I have over 4 years of babysitting experience caring for children of different ages in a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I am responsible, patient, and dependable, and I always make sure children feel comfortable and well cared for. My responsibilities have included preparing meals and snacks, helping with homework, organizing creative activities, playing games, reading books, assisting with bedtime routines, and keeping children engaged while limiting screen time. I also prioritize maintaining a clean and organized space, following parents' routines and instructions, and communicating with parents throughout the day if needed. In addition to babysitting, I worked as a tutor at the YMCA, where I helped students with their schoolwork, encouraged positive learning habits, and built strong relationships with children and families. I enjoy creating a positive, supportive environment where kids can learn, have fun, and feel safe.

Hello!My name is Aasha and I live on the Upper West Side. I am a graduate student at Columbia University studying creative writing (nonfiction) and literary translation (specializing in Twi, French, Spanish) in search of a full time or part time position starting as soon as possible. I only have one class on Mondays and Tuesdays afternoons. I can work mornings, afternoons Wednesday-Friday, and evenings.I was previouslya full time baby nurse and nanny to the toddler 12 hours a day. I also cook (and enjoy doing it!) and clean. I have an Honors BFA in Literature and I can commit long term or on temporary basis. I have a child led learning- Montessori approach and I encourage pretend play. I'm a lover of languages, music, the arts, and creativity! I'm a warm and gentle person but definitely firm when need be, when it comes to discipline I like to maintain what the parents have already started. I personally follow gentle and respectful parenting techniques of discipline and communication. I also cook and clean for the entire family. I can speak some Mandarin, German and I'm still learning French(A2 level)!I was also an au pair in Bordeaux). I believe I'm the perfect fit because I'm proactive, well trained and very gentle. I have the professionalism to keep up with a busy household (and keep everything clean!) and the tenderness to help raise gentle, kind and curious children. I have eleven years of experience as a nanny with children ages 0-14 years. I'm an amazing cook and can get picky eaters to eat just about anything! I can also teach your children the instruments I'm classically trained in (viola, violin, cello) . I hope to meet you soon.

I have approximately 3–4 years of experience working with young children through both professional and personal childcare roles. My experience includes working as a paraprofessional, after-school elementary tutor, and after-school educator, where I supported children’s learning, development, and daily routines. I have also provided regular babysitting for families, helping with supervision, homework assistance, meals, activities, and creating a safe and positive environment for children. Through these experiences, I have developed strong skills in patience, communication, organization, and building trusting relationships with children of different ages and needs.

Hi families! I have over 9 years of hands-on childcare experience and truly love what I do. I’ve worked in a childcare center caring for newborns to 5-year-olds, taught 5th grade (and was honored as Rookie Teacher of the Year!), and spent 3 years as a full-time nanny starting when the little one was just 4 months old.I currently work as a children’s mental health therapist, supporting kids from birth to 15 who need extra care and understanding. This has deepened my patience, empathy, and ability to support children through all kinds of emotions. I come from a big Ethiopian family where love and togetherness mean everything to me, and I bring that same warmth into the families I work with. I love reading, music (I play piano!), and spending quality time with the people I care about.

Growing up as the oldest sibling and cousin, I gained years of experience caring for younger children, and I also babysat my young neighbors for a couple of years. Now as a college student, I bring both responsibility and flexibility, with availability on weekdays, especially mornings and afternoons. Having ADHD myself and family members on the spectrum, I understand how to support kids through overwhelming moments with patience and care. I love encouraging creativity, supporting growth, and creating a safe, fun environment where children feel comfortable and cared for.
