Hello! My name is Olivia and I’m a rising senior at Syracuse University majoring in Information Management and Technology. Over the past 3 semesters I have volunteered for a program called STEM Explorers, where college students teach STEM lessons as fun projects to Syracuse City School District Middle Schoolers. I have enjoyed this program greatly and loved helping children learn things that I am passionate about. I also learned that I like helping and looking after kids. Over the summer break (May-August) I would love to continue working with children.

Hi families! My name is Meleny, I’m 23 years old, and caring for little ones truly brings me so much joy. With over 4 1/2 years of hands on experience in early childhood education, I’ve had the privilege of watching children grow through some of their most important early milestones and there’s nothing more rewarding to me. I currently work as a Lead Toddler Teacher and previously served as a Co-Lead Infant Teacher for 10 months, so I’m very comfortable caring for both infants and toddlers. From bottle feedings and nap schedules to potty training and early learning activities, I understand how important consistency, patience, and warmth are during these early years. I am CPR certified and fully cleared through both the Department of Health (DOH) and Department of Education (DOE). Your child’s safety and well being will always be my top priority. I’m also working toward my Associate degree in Early Childhood Education, continuing to grow and strengthen my knowledge so I can provide the best care possible. Families describe me as nurturing, dependable, and attentive. I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your child in someone else’s care, and I treat every child I care for with the same love, patience, and respect I would want for my own family. Whether you’re looking for regular support or an occasional date-night sitter, I would be honored to be someone your family can feel comfortable and confident with.

Mother, School Teacher, Yoga Teacher, and NannyAvailable for full days on Thursday & Friday, and occasional sitting all days. Hello! I’ve been a babysitter, a nanny, a teacher, and a school administrator. I’m the mom of an inspiring teenager, who teaches me an innumerable amount of lessons about raising children. Working with children and in education has been a drive of mine since I was a kid myself. I started babysitting at 13, in the 90’s (can you believe we let 13 year olds do that back then?!). I taught elementary level at an afterschool and summer school program throughout undergraduate. I nannied for several families, including one family for five years. I left that job to start my own family, focusing more on freelance writing while I raised my child. I’ve continued to write while working as a preschool teacher, and then tutor recruitment and training coordinator for a DESE school.I also studied in the Critical and Creative Thinking graduate program at UMASS Boston for two semesters, to be continued. CCT focuses on learning and applying ideas and tools in critical thinking, creative thinking, and reflective practice. It applies very well to childcare and has helped me build valuable insight and skills.Additionally, I am an RYT200 yoga teacher, with 90 hours of youth yoga teacher training, and trauma-informed. So if the kids are interested in yoga, exercise, or meditation, I’m happy to share what I know! Even if the kids aren’t into yoga, this training gave mea better understanding of child development. I have a driver’s license, but do not own a car. However, I do own a Yuba cargo bike with room for two children and 4 grocery bags, with 18 years of bike commuter experience!

Hi there!My formal education is in fine art photography, ceramics, and entrepreneurship, but have been a full-time nanny for the last six years. I consider myself a jack of all trades, which has proven to be a great hit with kids since I have fun dabbling in just about anything! I'm always up for a fun, creative craft from my supply of materials, while modeling how to cleanup and keep our space tidy. Your child will also learn all the fundamentals and more, catered to their age and development.I'm consistently researching gentle/conscious parenting and utilizing the tools I learn to foster a relationship founded on compassion, curiosity, consent and respect. It is important that your child feels safe, loved and confident. I'm more than happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and laundry. I also enjoy caring for animals of every variety, at every life stage.
