I'm looking to watch up to three children in my home for $20/hr, anytime M-F. Please no agency phone calls. I've cared for children from newborn throughout teenage years. I'm a firm believer that children should be children with the guidance of those who care for them. My apartment is across from Hudson River on the Upper Westside; has a park right outside my door; a courtyard for kids to run, play, ride a bike/scooter safely away from the street; and even has a water feature where kids can safely play in the water. I even have an indoor playroom, art room, soccer, tennis and basketball spaces. I also stay directly across the street from a grocery store, and the hospital is walking distance (5 mins). I am very happy to assist in keeping children involved in extracurricular activities, after-school programs, sports and keeping them active. I am also more Read more than happy to assist with homework, assignments, and school projects. I enjoy taking time out and would be excited to take children out to experience the museums, zoos, plays, etc. Traveling is no problem, as well as picking kids up and dropping them off to their engagements. I will be the best sitter to ever care for your child(ren). I absolutely love to see children thrive, and take pride in teaching developmental skills and maintaining a consistent schedule. I'm very involved and create an, "interest in learning" environment, while tutoring and doing homework. I'm also very sanitary and thorough when prepping healthy meals, bottles and coordinating activities. I'm more than comfortable caring for pets. I am also happy to help with cooking, laundry, sweeping, mopping, etc. Whatever is needed to make things easier on you, I'm happy to assist with. I've previously had families that had nanny cameras setup so they may check-in on their children from time to time and I am comfortable with this as well. My rate is negotiable and my goal is to work around your schedule to make things easier and effortless for you, while attentively caring for your children. Please feel free to contact me if you have specific needs so that we may discuss how to best accommodate your needs, at: (917) 838-5042 Thank You! Sincerely, Christina
