A little bit about me
Hey Lovely Parents,
My name is Astride and I have been working in the childcare industry for over 20 years. From the age of 12, families have entrusted me with the care of their precious children, and I feel honored.
I offer families a great deal of flexibility and I've traveled with my employers, done overnights, and I worked as a live-in. I am a pro when it comes to establishing sleep schedules, potty training, developing comprehension skills, and implementing effective disciplinary systems that concentrate on taking preventative measures and positive redirection-- translation: I can help with toddler tantrums. I've worked with children of all ages from newborns, to preteens.
I use creative methods in order to reach children. I'm known for using my obsession with musicals to orchestrate musical numbers using stuffed animals. I am a big believer of educational fun time-- and I like to keep kids busy with adventurous outings, art, music, dance, science experiments, baking projects and reading. If your kids don't like to read, I'll turn them...and that's a promise. I focus on nourishing independence by letting children practice things on their own in a safe environment, offering options, while setting boundaries. Due to my methods I've developed strong and lasting bonds with the kids I watch and their parents. I have worked with parents with demanding professions, and I make it my top priority to be a team player who works for the betterment of the children.
I am CPR certified, and I am up to date with the TDAP vaccination, and TB test. A few extra perks is that I can help with beginner to intermediate French, I love to cook healthy and tasty meals, and I'm always up for embarrassing myself for a good laugh.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Jamie Vogt and I am originally from Rochester, NY. I absolutely love spending time with children and have grown up babysitting and nannying kids age ranged from newborn-pre teens. I am someone who is fun, loving, and active, while at the same time organized and discipline. I can also provide additional help with running errands, grocery shopping, meal preparation, laundry, housekeeping, and pet care. I moved to NYC at the age of 17 to pursue my modeling career. I currently live on the Upper East Side. I have been modeling full time for 2 1/2 years now, and in that time I have truly missed the joy of spending time with children. Because of the virus I cannot work modeling, so I would love to spend my free time helping a family who needs it during this situation.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Madison and caring for children has always come naturally to me. My younger brother was born when I was 12 years old, and from a young age I helped my mom with everything involved in raising him. Over the past 12 years, that experience has taught me patience, responsibility, structure, and how to create a loving and supportive environment for children.
I currently work professionally with children and families, and I pride myself on being warm, dependable, organized, and attentive. I also love cooking and baking, keeping a clean and organized home, and creating fun, comforting routines for the children I care for. My goal is always to make both children and parents feel safe, supported, and cared for.

A little bit about me
I'm a grad student in NYC for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. I come from a family of 5, and I'm the oldest of 3. I have two younger sisters who are 19 and 14, and I loved growing up with them and being a role model from them through life. My family is super important to me and providing care and compassion for them is integral to me. I've worked with kids for as long as I can remember, from babysitting my own sisters and family friends, lifeguarding and giving swim lessons to a variety of ages, being a camp counselor, and more. I would love to help a family who needs some extra hands!
