A little bit about me

Hi!
My name is Kelly Mazerolle. I am 20 years old and currently living in Ontario. I have experience taking care of children since I, myself, was 15 years old. I love kids and love connecting and showing them new things. I am relocating to New York City in January and think this would be a perfect job opportunity for me at the moment. I am very responsible, well spoken and very outgoing.

A little bit about me

My name is Illianys and I am from the Dominican Republic, but was born in NYC and live in NJ now. I am the oldest of four and since I was a little girl I enjoyed taking care of my younger siblings because they made me notice the love i have for children, at first it was hard, but as time continued I learned that children enjoy being around me because they feel safe. I would play games and teach my siblings how to read and write the alphabet. Without me my siblings from the Dominican Republic would have never learned English. I am a person who loves communicating with people as well as being early to places because I know the importance of being on time. I am a quick learner and a hard worker.

A little bit about me

I’m Irish, moved to NYC a week ago! Have tons of experience in babysitting/ child minding. Have worked with children since I was 14 and now I’m 23. I’m really friendly and confident which I find that kids can pick up on so they feel more comfortable. I love to play outdoors to get some fresh air (and to tire them out!) and mainly to get them away from screens- I find that really important. I’ve worked as a coach in summer and Easter camps and have a few games under my belt!

A little bit about me

I am a woman of many values, but my strongest are family, compassion, honesty, trust, humor, service, curiosity, time, optimism, beauty, creativity, authenticity, peace, and growth.
When I do something, I do it fully and completely. I always do my best.
I am incredibly mindful of the words that I speak. I know that my words have the ability to transform the way children feel about themselves, others, and the world. I will always use my power and words in the direction of love.
Especially when confronting destructive outbursts, I create space that encourages them to be entirely honest and recognize what they could have done better for next time - without them labeling themselves as a "bad kid."
I'm an exceedingly easygoing, go-with-the-flow, spontaneous person. I keep my personal space neat, and I am always happy to go the extra mile to do the same with your home because I know how much of a difference a clean space can make in our state of mind.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Andrew, and I'm a 23-year-old Wesleyan University graduate who recently moved to New York City. I love working with children and enjoy creating a fun, supportive, and active environment where they can thrive.

After graduating, I worked for five months as an instructional assistant for an 11-year-old student with Down syndrome in an elementary school. I provided one-on-one academic support, helped implement behavior plans, and encouraged independence while working closely with teachers and staff.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and recently completed a Half Ironman, finishing in the top half of my age group. I also speak Spanish at a near-fluent level and would be happy to use it with your children if desired. Families can count on me to be patient, dependable, responsible, and energetic. I'd be honored to support your family and help your children learn, grow, and have fun!
