A little bit about me

As a caregiver, my passion lies in nurturing the growth and development of children. With one year of experience, I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where kids can thrive. My calm and friendly nature allows me to connect with children easily, while my patience helps me handle challenging situations with grace.

I believe in open communication with parents and regularly provide updates on their child's day. I happily follow their preferred communication method, whether it's verbal updates at pickup or regular text or phone calls.

With my background in education, I enjoy incorporating educational games that promote learning while also having fun with outdoor sports, board games, and puzzles. I happily follow the household rules set by the parents, ensuring consistency and a harmonious environment for the children.

I'm comfortable caring for up to two children and am willing to assist with cooking and meal preparation, as well as light housekeeping.

Hello! My name is Aida and I am a current college student in NYC. With experience with several families throughout middle school and high school, I have facilitated strong relationships with a wide range of children, from toddlers to middle-schoolers. In doing so, I have:

- Engaged with children to create nurturing environments to promote emotional, social, and intellectual growth.

- Helped children complete homework and special assignments daily to support academic performance.

- Fostered learning relationships with children by creating educational and productive games and projects.

- Kept parents’ contact information, emergency phone numbers, and child’s health history on hand at all times.

I look forward to positive experiences babysitting your children! :)

I absolutely love working with kids, as I would say my strengths are patience, kindness, and always seizing the opportunity to teach!
