*Seeking after-school job, or two to three long days in Park Slope in September with FUN family! Hello everyone, I’m looking for an after school job, or two to three long days in Park Slope with an organized, fun, thoughtful family for the school year. I would need 20 hours minimum, and would be available for date nights as well. Park Slope is next to where I live, as I live in Sunset Park next to Green-Wood. This is key if you have last minute needs outside of normal working hours. I’m always punctual, have an unparalleled joy for life, 24 years of experience, and excellent references! In fact they’d all love to speak with you on my behalf, including my two recent families I’ve worked for in Park Slope a sweet baby in the morning, and 2 primary school children afterschool for the last 3 years. I still see them on occasion for weekend or date nights. I have many years experience with babies, toddlers, and grade school children as well. I’ve also cared for several sets of twins! I love listening, teaching, and explaining things. I'm also a (fun & effective) reading and spelling teacher/tutor for children 3-6, I'm well traveled, (mostly all Europe) speak Italian, went to Fiorello LaGuardia as an art major, am a singer, mostly 1930’s-1940’s jazz, But most of all, I’m genuinely happy, and see the good in everyone. I create life long loving bonds with the children I care for and their parents, and children feel safe and secure talking to me about things that may be bothering them. I’ve had many parents over the years ask if perhaps I might speak to their child to find out what’s going on, it’s my forte! I also handle any behavior with understanding and redirecting in a positive way, because they are after all, still learning. I adore dogs as well, and am happy to take them for walks as well! On an end note, my hourly may be more than you were hoping for, but I’m absolutely worth it, ask anyone! Thanks for reading, and here’s hoping everyone finds their very own Mary Poppins! Monique F.

Hello! I have 16+ years of experience with children of all ages in many capacities over the years. I have sat, cared for, cooked for and mentored children from infants/toddlers, ages 2mo to 6 years through school age. I have worked primarily with infants, pre-k, this past 5 years, helping with sleep training, feeding schedules and nap schedules, caring for babies and older siblings simultaneously. I love getting children engaged in outdoor activities, art, music, home crafts, cooking, baking and all other age appropriate games and activities. I prefer an afternoon walk in the park, museum, iceskating, creating art and listening to music vs. children siting home on an Ipad, watching TV. There is so much to discover! I love children and always happy to help when I am available! Please note: *I have a 5 hour minimum, rates are based on infants, number of children, weekday, weekend and nights. I am open to short term, temporary full time, full days, weekends, weekend nights Should your current caregiver need a holiday or you are traveling out of the country, visiting and need a hotel sit, I travel for SKI trips and vacations or long term temporary while you search for the perfect permanent caregiver. I have done all of the above and helped many parents while providing stellar childcare. I have run art programs for children in Wisconsin (YMCA after school art program) and California. I have worked for clients who have praised me for my work with children. An all around STAND IN, providing: reliable care, over nights, weekends and weekend nights while parents are out for an evening or out of town. Light cooking for the children, help with homework, bathing, reading, bedtime. Love hiking and the outdoors, available for weddings, outdoor activities and social hours, helping Mums and Dads when their plates are simply too full to do everything. I would love to work with you, I am flexible, reliable, patient, trustworthy, very responsible, energetic, caring, loving and kind. I would like to find a family that really appreciates really good child care and someone whom loves children and has a strong set of morals with gentle guidance, yet is fun and kind. Ideally, I would prefer to work a full day from early morning to early evening but if there are 5+ hours, I am flexible depending on my schedule and the rate.

Hello wonderful family, My name is Joelle, and I am an seasoned babysitter and early-childhood educator of 7+ years. With my diverse work experiences as a babysitter, lead pre-k teacher, nanny and more I can certainly attest to the popular phrase - "actions speak louder than words" ! I strive to teach this to children of all ages in my care through mindful play that encourages language development and self-expression. Growing up in a large African-American and Filipino-American family has taught me to be highly family-oriented and hard-working. My upbringing has also helped me instill a passion for learning about different cultures, languages and religions. I am currently a beginner Spanish speaker with hopes to use the language more often on my travels and at work. One of my fondest moments as an educator was watching one of my 3 year-old students, Sitora, describe her drawing of a butterfly to me with her hands. She made the shape of a butterfly with her two palms together, and fluttered her fingers to me when I could not understand what was in her drawing during class. I was completely blown away in that moment! In addition to my experiences working at daycare centers and preschools, I have been entrusted to the children of my family members, as well as the children of family friends and referrals since the age of 16. I especially enjoy helping little ones express themselves through art and dance, and preparing nutritious meals for them whenever needed. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I look forward to learning more about your children’s needs and working with your family to help them grow! Best Regards, Joelle Middleton Early Childhood Educator (929)595-0132

Hi my name is Brandi, I have five years of experience working with children ranging from toddlers to 12 years old. As a person, I consider myself to be fun, creative, and energetic. My favorite aspect of working with children is teaching them how to grow into wonderful individuals while allowing them to be independent at the same time. I enjoy singing, jumping, painting, laughing at silly jokes, and many other activities. If permitted, I enjoy introducing children to other cultures. Additionally, I considered myself to be friendly, patient, calm, respectful, and alert. The care of children is of the utmost importance to me.

Hello there! My name is Aly, I'm 28 and originally from Chile :) My mom used to have her own Preeschool, which was very focused on the social, intellectual and artistic development of children which was a very interesting and rich environment to be raised in.

Its been a long pandemic, I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I am your weekend backup to help you reset after a long week of being a superhero aka parent. I began working with children at the age of 15. I was a Counselor in Training at a sleep away camp. The following two years I worked as a Camp Counselor at the same camp. I began babysitting at the age of 18. I have worked with multiple families with multiple children. I currently work at a Dance Studio as the manager and instructor. The Dance Studio mostly caters to children between the ages of 2 through 14. I am currently certified in First Aid/CPR/AED for both Adult and Pediatric. My experience makes me qualified but my personality is why I have such a great relationship with the kids. Babysitting has always been fun for me. Children are true little sponges that soak up everything. The things they say or do always manage to make my day brighter. Being younger allows me to truly enjoy my time with families. I love to go outside with kids play a little soccer, baseball, or basketball. Kids always love that I can teach them some dance moves. Although usually most kids just prefer me to read to them. I try to give every character in a book their own voice. I haven't had a bad experience sitting. The occasional meltdown is expected and I'm prepared to handle whatever is thrown mine way.
