A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Michelle and I graduated from the University of Wisconsin Madison in 2021! I love children and have had great experiences caring for one child, ages 2, as well as 3 and 4. I would like to move to NYC or in the surrounding area and am looking for an opportunity to support a family while still having time to pursue other job opportunities. I would consider a full-time position if it is live-in. I am nice, young, educated, and approachable to children. I also play the flute and am proficient in French, and have had experience teaching young children in both these areas!

A little bit about me

English:
Hello! My name is Naomi Lazo. I am 17 years old and will be turning 18 in September. I was born in the United States but grew up in Ecuador, so Spanish is my first language, and I also speak English.

I recently graduated from high school and am currently looking for a summer job as a babysitter. Starting in August or September, when I begin college, I hope to continue working part-time while focusing on my studies.

I am a calm, kind, patient, and responsible person. I have experience taking care of my younger sisters and cousins under the age of 14.

I would love the opportunity to care for your children and provide dependable, loving support for your family.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Naomi, and I’m a caring, responsible, and creative person who genuinely loves being around children. I enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and express themselves while creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I also have a big love for cooking and enjoy preparing meals and trying new recipes. Growing up, I was always involved in keeping my home clean and organized, so tidying up, doing household chores, and maintaining a clean space come naturally to me. My background in musical theatre has also helped me develop my creativity, patience, and communication skills, which I love bringing into activities with children. I’m excited to support families by making their lives a little easier while ensuring their little ones feel happy, safe, and loved!
