Kiara P., Babysitter in Hempstead, NY 11550 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi, my name is Kiara but I go by Kiwi! I'm a native New Yorker from Brooklyn and I have over 4 years of childcare experience. I worked at a daycare in Queens (Future Sunshine Daycare) part-time, and went full-time after about 6 months as the owner is also a foster mother and needed help with her 3 foster children. I started living-in 4 days a week for about a year while still working for the daycare, thus caring for 8 kids (2 infants aged 4-6 months, 1 toddler aged 3 and 5 older children aged 6-9) along with 2 other alternating workers. I worked there for 2 years alternating between part-time and full-time after the foster children moved on. This passing summer I worked as a camp counselor at a summer camp in Plymouth, Vermont. I worked there throughout the whole summer as a camp counselor monitoring kids ages 4-11. Since then I've been babysitting for different families and providing occasional coverage for workers at the daycare. I am CPR and AED certified for both adults and children, my red cross certification ID is 10VNC1Q.

Kiara (aka “Kiwi”) is wonderful! She's been helping with my son's afterschool care and has been incredibly reliable. Our toddler absolutely loves her. She brings creative activities, keeps him engaged, and brings such a positive energy into our home. We’re so grateful to have found her and couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Djane M., Babysitter in Hempstead, NY 11550 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi Parents, My name is Djane. I have experience caring for both infants and toddlers, and I truly enjoy supporting children’s growth and development in a safe, loving, and engaging environment. I’m responsible, organized, patient, and easygoing. I bring a positive and energetic attitude to my work, and I value creating a calm, nurturing space where children feel comfortable, secure, and happy. Being around kids genuinely brings me joy. I love planning fun and age-appropriate activities, spending time outdoors, going to the park, and encouraging curiosity through play and exploration. I’m also very comfortable with pets and have no restrictions or allergies. I’m looking for a family where I can build a strong, trusting relationship and become a reliable and supportive presence in your daily routine.

Djane was a fantastic nanny and babysitter for our daughter (3.5yo) and son (1yo). She is incredibly responsible, organized, and our kids absolutely loved spending time with her. She did fun things with them (library, crafts, park - and taught our daughter to swing on her own!) and was considerate about details such as packing lunch, healthy snacks, etc. We were so fortunate to work with her, and we always felt that our kids were in incredibly safe hands. We still stay in touch with her and would highly recommend.

Wendi K., Babysitter in Hempstead, NY 11550 with 20 years of paid experience

Hello! I am a retired Paraprofessional/Teacher Assistant with 20 years of experience working for the NYC Board of Education. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and am also a proud mother of two. My driver's license is clean, and I am CPR certified. I have a genuine love for children and extensive experience working with special needs kids. Patience, care, and nurturing are qualities I pride myself on. I have significant classroom experience as well as tutoring backgrounds. I have experience working with infants and toddlers. I have worked part-time at a Montessori school with toddlers aged 18 months to three years. I find this age group particularly fascinating, and I thoroughly enjoy working with these young children. I possess extensive experience in feeding and supervising their naps. The two-year-old stage is a critical period, during which they acquire communication skills and assimilate new knowledge. Additionally, I am comfortable with pets and can help with walking them if required. Currently, I am working part-time with two sisters, ages five and six. My responsibilities include picking them up from school, taking them to various activities, entertaining them, and preparing dinner when necessary. I am also currently working with a three-year-old girl who is speech-impaired and has some medical issues. My duties include feeding and changing her, as well as engaging her in activities, specifically puzzles and other exercises to improve her motor skills. I also assist with driving her to outside services and school. The mom just recently had a baby so I do help with him as well. My duties includes feeding, changing, taking him for walks. Unfortunately this position will come to an end at the end of August. The child will be starting a new school program and my services are no longer required.

Wendi was our daily sitter for our 4 & 5/6 year old girls for a year and was beyond amazing! She was reliable, an excellent role model, and deeply caring. She drove our girls to afterschool activities, took them to the playground, and on playdates. She was wonderful with our pup and would also make dinner for the girls and help with homework, when needed. We love Wendi and can’t more highly recommend!

Kari is a kind, caring, hard working, extremely responsible caregiver who takes care of children as if they were her own. She is always on time, rarely ever takes days off, and is willing to take on additional tasks in the home such as meal prep and light cleaning. Kari is a positive, caring, respectful person who has experience taking good care of babies through elementary school age children.

I have early childhood training. I know CPR and first aid. I am certified as a CNA of New York State. I genuinely love children and always look out for their best interests. I have fond memories of every family I worked for and every Xmas and Channucka I get cards with pictures from "all my children" It is when I can be with children and play with them and help them that I feel most fullfilled. I have excellent references.
