A little bit about me

Hey! I have 1. 5 years of experience of childcare experience and recently have worked at Cornell childcare center but had to quit my job as it was getting hard for me and my husband to manage job and baby at the same time (I have a 6 months old sweet girl) . So I'm currently looking for a nanny/babysitting job (full-time or part-time). I'm CPR and first aid training certified. I am fully vaccinated and my husband gets tested twice a week. Can provide multiple references. If this is something you are interested in then please Let me know and can discuss further.

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Marchelle. I’m 22 years old and a proud mom of four children, ranging from a newborn to age four. My experience as both a parent and a caregiver has given me a strong foundation in childcare, time management, and creating a nurturing, structured environment for kids of all ages. I’ve been caring for children since I was 10 years old and have over two years of professional babysitting experience. I’m passionate about supporting families and helping children learn, grow, and have fun in safe and engaging ways. I can assist with a variety of tasks, including travel, laundry, meal preparation, schoolwork, and general household support. I take pride in being reliable, patient, and hands-on with every family I work with.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Chloe and I have been providing childcare for over 8 years, and have specialized in infant care for the past 6 years. I graduated from the University of Rhode Island, and I now live in Ithaca, NY. I have cared for newborns as young as 1-week-old and can provide excellent references and a detailed resume. I use a "whole family" approach in my work, emphasizing the importance of fulfilling the needs of both children and parents by helping with housekeeping, taking care of family pets, or grocery shopping when children are being watched by their parents. I have found childcare to be one of the most rewarding jobs a person can be involved in. I take my responsibility as a caregiver very seriously, and I am grateful to be able to provide joy and ease to the lives of so many families through this work.
