Hi! I’m Tejiri, an 18-year-old college student! I’ve worked with children for over 3 years. Working with kids is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love helping them learn, grow, and have fun. I currently work at Trader Joe’s, so I’m used to staying upbeat, energetic, patient, and responsible in fast-paced environments. Whether your child wants to play games, do crafts, read stories, get help with homework, or just have someone to keep them engaged and safe, I’m happy to jump in! Parents would describe me as dependable, communicative, and caring. I understand how important it is to trust the person watching your children, so I always prioritize safety while making sure kids feel comfortable, supported, and entertained. I look forward to meeting your family and providing a fun, safe, and reliable babysitting experience!

I have 11 years of babysitting experience with kids of all ages, genders, and personality styles. I have experience with kids with Downs Syndrome, autism, and other special needs.

Hi! I’m Karla! I’ve always loved being around kids, and caring for them has been a huge part of my life. As the oldest sibling, I’ve spent years helping care for my two younger brothers, who both have autism. Growing up with them has taught me so much about patience, understanding, flexibility, and how every child has their own unique personality and needs. It’s one of the biggest reasons I fell in love with working with children.I’m currently in college at SUNY Brockportstudying Early Childhood Education because becoming an elementary school teacher has been my dream for as long as I can remember. I love doing crafts, playing outside, reading books, helping with homework, having dance parties, baking treats, or just spending quality time making kids feel happy, safe, and included.I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your children. My goal is to create a fun, safe, and loving environment where your kids can be themselves while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’ll care for your children with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I give my own family.
