A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Tyshell Tyler, and I’m a native New Yorker with experience in customer service through my current role at a pharmacy. I also do pet sitting on the side, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility and care.

I spend a lot of time with my six nephews and regularly babysit them, which has given me hands-on experience with children of different ages. I’d describe myself as warm, patient, and dependable, and I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for kids.

I’m currently looking to transition into nannying as I genuinely enjoy working with children, and I’m also planning to go back to school to study architecture. I would love the opportunity to support a family and be a positive, reliable presence in their home.

Hi there!
My name is Maysun Rose Cronk and I am a recent graduate of Nazareth University with a BFA in Musical Theatre. I have a passion for the arts, especially things geared towards kids like performing for Disney! I have worked as a party princess for 4+ years and I love making little ones feel special on their birthdays! We sing, dance, and play games and its been my dream job these past 4 years. I also worked as a theatre teacher at Dream Big day Camp last year and worked with kids ages 3-14, sharing my passion and sparking interest in the arts for them! Now that Im graduated, I am moving to NYC to be a performer but I want a part time job that allows me to still work with kids!
