A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Katie Herchenroeder, 22, and I recently graduated with my masters in journalism. When I'm not working, I spend my time writing, painting, and trying to find the best thrift deal! I've been babysitting since I was 15 years old, and have spent several summers working as a nanny within multi-child households. I have experience working with 3 children at one time, as my family fosters and hires me for weeks or months at a time. When working with children, I love to explore what their interests and passions are, encouraging them daily. My main hope would be to make your life easier, filling in wherever there is need. This is such a tumultuous time and creating fun moments is paramount. I'm incredibly open to the environment your family is interested in fostering. On a more technical note, I would also be more than happy to provide light housekeeping, meal prep, or other errand-like needs. Thank you so much for reading a little bit about me and I would love to chat more! :)

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Tashawna Lombard. I’m a dedicated and experienced caregiver with over three years of providing care and support to families, including children with special needs. Most recently, I handled pick-up and drop-off responsibilities for a child throughout the summer. I’m also a parent of two children, ages 15 and 12, and the oldest of six siblings, which has strengthened my nurturing, organizational, and leadership skills. Professionally, I worked for seven years as a medical assistant at Maimonides Hospital in cardio thoracic care, and I am currently furthering my education to become a respiratory therapist. I’m patient, reliable, and passionate about creating a safe and supportive environment for children.

"Tashawna is warm, responsible, and incredibly attentive. She has consistently demonstrated patience, creativity, and a deep understanding of child development. Whether it was helping with homework, organizing enriching activities, or simply being a comforting presence, Tashawna always put my daughter's needs first. Her ability to balance structure with kindness helped Sky thrive in a safe, nurturing environment.
Beyond her childcare skills, Tashawna is reliable, punctual, and communicates clearly and professionally. She quickly became more than just a nanny—she became a valued member of our family.
Any family would be lucky to have Tashawna as part of their household. I recommend her without hesitation and am happy to provide further details if needed."

"Janelle was great! She helped me with my 17 month twin girls for a few hours a week. Having her come twice a week during their wake period, enabled me to have mommy time and get chores/other things done. She would also clean up the toys after each session which was very helpful."

A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Krystal! I’m an early childhood educator with a BA in psychology and 3+ years of experience working with children from birth to 5 years in a school setting.
I’m a New York native very familiar with Brooklyn and Manhattan. I’m also a native fluent speaker of English and have a limited working proficiency of Spanish (a heritage speaker working towards fluency).
I pride myself in being a culturally intelligent professional experienced in fostering compassionate relationships with people of diverse abilities and backgrounds (faith, gender, language, ethnic/racial identity, etc.). This is deeply important to me and extends beyond surface-level niceties. As a teacher (and human!), I find it crucial to respect, discuss, share, and embrace these intimate parts of each other’s lives. I can’t tell you how excited children get when they tell me about their faith traditions or I use words in a language they normally only speak with family. It’s a beautiful thing!

"Krystal takes care of our twins and she is wonderful! Our kids are both on the autistic spectrum, and non verbal so it wasn't easy to find the right babysitter, someone we could trust... Krystal is patient and caring, she has experience with neurodiverse children, she's flexible, reliable, and really goes above and beyond!!"

"Shamice filled in on very short notice (overnight) in January when our regular nanny was unable to discharge her duties due to family circumstances. She made herself available in no time, and was very flexible in terms of working hours, which proved a blessing as my husband and I had heavy workloads during this period. Shamice was very quick at transitioning into her new role, and very ably and independently took over the role of our regular nanny. The learning curve was short and she established quickly an excellent connection with all three kids (age 9, 7 and 2). Her good spirits and enthusiasm helped the kids through this period without any hiccups. She also proved she was able to work with limited oversight, taking appropriate initiative wherever it was needed. Shamice’s help was dearly appreciated during this period, and I would strongly recommend her for any childcare role."
