A little bit about me
Hi! My Aidan Harootian, I'm 19 years old and have a real passion for helping out and making life a little easier for families. I’ve done volunteer work with special needs kids, which has been really rewarding and has taught me a lot about patience and care. I’m super reliable, laid-back, and I'm available for both live-in and on-call work. I’d love to help out and be there when you need me! :)

A little bit about me
I have 3+ years of childcare experience, grew up in a household of 5 siblings (im the 2nd oldest), and was taught at a young age how to properly take care of kids. I've been told I am mature for my age, because I started at 12 years old! In San Francisco, throughout college and post-grad I would babysit my neighbors kids while effectively juggling my workload. I grew to form strong relationships with the families I served, and they would ask me back to help out over the years. Now in NYC, I would like to return to that form of service, as I was innately called to it and have a passion for helping out with kids!
