Razia A.
- 20 years paid experience
- 11 miles
Hello! My name is Razia, and I’m a proud native New Yorker with over 10 years of professional childcare experience. I am CPR & First Aid certified, college educated, and have cared for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. Families consistently describe me as patient, caring, energetic, fun-loving, and trustworthy. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can thrive while making daily routines easier and stress-free for parents. Currently, I work with a wonderful family in Forest Hills, caring for two children (ages 12 and 6) and managing their household from start to finish. I oversee morning routines, school preparation, homework, meals, baths, bedtime, pet care for a cat and dog, errands, and overall household organization. I take pride in keeping the home running smoothly while providing consistent guidance, attention, and encouragement to the children. Infant & Newborn Care: I am experienced in preparing formulas, sterilizing bottles, maintaining feeding and sleep schedules, diapering, infant laundry, baths, and baby-proofing the home. I focus on early learning activities, maintaining a clean and safe environment, and supporting healthy growth and routines while providing attentive, loving care. Toddler Care: I assist with meals, snacks, potty training, baths, tidying toys, and creative play. I organize educational outings to libraries, museums, bookstores, playgrounds, and play centers, as well as age-appropriate classes and playdates to support social skills, independence, and curiosity. School-Age Care: I manage school pickups and drop-offs, transportation to after-school activities, homework guidance, snack and meal prep, outdoor play, and trips to parks, zoos, and museums. I help children develop responsibility, self-confidence, and healthy routines while balancing structure with fun and enrichment. I am available Monday through Friday, with flexibility for weekends, and can travel to Manhattan and Queens. I provide hands-on, individualized care, creating a loving, structured, and engaging environment for children while giving parents peace of mind that every need—childcare and household—is thoughtfully managed. I would love to bring my experience, energy, and dedication to your family. I am happy to provide recent outstanding references. You can reach me directly at 📞 917-272-8620.

Kiara P.
- 4 years paid experience
- 13 miles
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.

I’m a loving, nurturing, and responsible woman who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. As both a mother and a caregiver, I understand the importance of patience, emotional safety, and playful curiosity in a child’s development. I’m educated in Clinical Hypnotherapy, which has deepened my understanding of the mind and emotions helping me create calm, positive, and mindful environments for kids to feel safe and inspired. Whether it’s helping with homework, creating fun learning activities, or simply listening to their stories, I always approach children with kindness, empathy, and encouragement. I believe every child deserves care that nourishes their confidence and creativity. Parents describe me as trustworthy, gentle, and intuitive someone who naturally brings warmth and stability to their home.

I love being a sitter because I enjoy working with children and helping them learn and grow. Spending time with kids, playing with them, and supporting their development is something I truly enjoy. It’s rewarding to create a safe, fun, and positive environment for them. I currently work as a Family Worker at a school, where I support families and students. I also have experience working with children in school settings and after-school programs. Through my work and studies in Early Childhood Education, I’ve learned how to communicate with children, support their needs, and help them develop positive habits. I have strong communication and patience when working with children. I’m studying Early Childhood Education, which has given me knowledge about child development and behavior. I’m also experienced in creating structured routines, helping with homework, and keeping children engaged in fun and educational activities.
