A little bit about me

I’m graduating from Cornell this May as a Government and English major. Outside of studies, I’ve spent the past three years building a board gaming community at Cornell, running a literary magazine, hiking, and propagating my plants. I believe that the most valuable experiences that kids can have are those away from screens. I would love to bring some of my kid-friendly games to teach, to go on walks with, and to engage in any kind of play that your children enjoy :). I also love cooking and cleaning, and am great at juggling either while watching kids.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Angela Zhang and I’m a first year college student at Cornell University!!

I love being around with kids!!! I’m compassionate, caring, and very kind.

I started babysitting since middle school, I’ve taken care of A LOT of kids and I gotta say kids really really love me. I personally have a little sister who is currently 6 years old, I’ve taken care of her forever and I know kids (especially age 2-14) very very well.

During high school, I worked at a local elementary school for aftercare and looked after kids age 2-14, I would organize fun activities, engage with them, and make sure they have a tons of fun.

I would be the perfect person for this job!!

A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Belle, and I’m a junior at Ithaca College majoring in Health Sciences (Pre-Nursing). Growing up as the oldest of four, I’ve spent countless hours caring for my three younger siblings, which has given me a wealth of hands-on experience in everything from homework help to bedtime stories.

I’m a nurturing and responsible caregiver with a natural affinity for children. I believe that playtime is essential for learning, and I love to create engaging activities that spark creativity and joy.

I’m also comfortable looking after pets, as our family has our own fluffy friend, Theodore that I adore.

I’m committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment where your children can thrive. Whether it’s organizing arts and crafts, helping with homework, or simply being a listening ear, I am dedicated to making your life easier while keeping your kids happy and engaged. I can’t wait to meet your family and be a part of your child’s journey!

A little bit about me

My name is Rose and in my early twenties. I love children and writing/reading children's books. I have many years of previous experience with children under 13 years. In a college course of mine, Early Childhood Development, I gained a comprehensive understanding of children's social, cognitive, and physical developmental needs. This coursework involved making detailed observations of children’s behavior to support their learning and development. I previously tutored elementary school students before working as a toddler teacher and babysitting.
