Hello! My name is Regina, and I’m a 34-year-old mother to a wonderful 9-year-old boy. I live in Staten Island and am currently focused on offering reliable, compassionate, and experienced childcare within the borough. I’m a licensed cosmetologist, a dedicated homeschooling mom, and a certified provider of Basic Life Support (BLS) through the American Heart Association. I speak both English and Russian fluently, and I was born and raised in the U.S. Childcare has been a consistent part of my life for about 19 years. Ive babysat since I was about 16 years old.Prior to having my son, I cared for two young girls over several years—one from the age of 3 to 8, and another around age 9 or 10 for a year. I’ve also helped care for my younger sister, who is now 18. Recently Ive watch a sibling pair aged 1 and 5 . Currently watching a sweet 8 month old boy and occasional date nights for a 10 month old. I am patient, kind, attentive, and deeply compassionate—traits that make me a natural caregiver. I genuinely enjoy being around children, and I aim to create a safe, warm, and engaging environment. Your child’s well-being would be my top priority, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’m happy to follow any special instructions or routines you prefer, and although I don’t have formal special needs experience, I’m a fast learner and very adaptable. I have my own transportation and am currently available for local work within Staten Island only. I do not bring my child to work—when I’m caring for your child(ren), my full focus is on them. I’m looking for a part-time position with a minimum of 4 hours per shift, ideally 3–5 days per week. My schedule is flexible around homeschooling and extracurriculars. I’m open to caring for up to 2 children (possibly 3, depending on ages), and I’d be happy to coordinate potential playdates if that’s something you’re interested in. Rates: • $20-$25/hour for one child depending on age • Additional $5/hour for each extra child or additional duties I’d love the opportunity to speak with you further and answer any questions. Meeting in person or having a quick phone interview is the best way to see if we’re a good fit. As a fellow parent, I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy, nurturing, and reliable. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your children with love and care—you’ve found the right person. Warmly, Regina
