Hello, My name is Valentina. Born and raised in Kingston Jamaica. From a tender age, I have always cared for the elderly, children and animals. I grew up on a farm with my grandmother, a strong woman who raised me to be the young lady I am today. She ended up becoming very sick to the point where we couldn't care for her anymore, but that didn't stop us at all. We hired a part time Nurse and I came home from school in the evenings to look after my grandmother in our own home. After years of struggling with being an amputee due to diabetes and morbid obesity her heart finally stopped and she died in her sleep. After her death, I moved to America to pursue nursing. I started out with a live in job with a family in long Island. I took care of a retired policeman who became immobile due to his morbid obesity and his need for a pacemaker. I also took care of special needs children and I also worked in hospice care. All of these jobs prepared me for the nursing field. I realize that nursing isn't easy, this isn't the movies, it's certainly not Grey's Anatomy. And with these experiences, I build friendships here in America. And I believe that this journey is only the beginning.

Hi, my name is Destiny i have my CDA certification in infant and toddlers. I am trained in first aid. I've worked in a daycare for 3 years. I love working with children especially toddlers and babies it's my favorite age group. I love caring for babies it feels like second nature to me. I love hanging out with toddlers, they all have their own personality’s and it's so fun to watch them play without a care in the world. The feeling when you teach a baby or a toddler something new is the most amazing feeling for both the child and adult. The excitement is out of this world.

Hi, I'm Peter! I am a father to a wonderful toddler, a caregiver for my adult disabled brother-in-law and a teacher with over ten years of experience between Preschool, Kindergarten and First Grade. I am CPR and AED certified and also certified to teach grades 1-6 in New York. As a teacher and a father, I believe in the power of learning through play. Whether it's playing make-believe, making art or running/crawling around outside, there are opportunities for learning in everything a child does. I also believe in explicit teaching of social emotional skills. Learning to identify and regulate emotions from a young age builds the foundation for healthy relationships, effective communication and lifelong emotional well-being. I am also well versed in the little things that parents and caregivers do on a daily basis, such as changing diapers, preparing meals, establishing sleep routines, cleaning up and juggling multiple tasks. My daughter is headed to UPK this fall and so I have availability from approximately 9:00-3:00 (depending on the length of the drive) Monday through Friday. I can also be available for additional hours in the evenings and on weekends with some advanced notice. Please feel free to contact me for references or any other questions you may have!

Hello! My name is Karissa. I recently completed my Master’s degree in Cancer Sciences and conducted research at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. Prior to that, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology from Adelphi University. I’ve been babysitting for over seven years and truly enjoy spending time with children and pets. My long-term goal is to become a pediatric dentist, and I’ve always loved creating fun, engaging environments for the kids I care for. I’ve regularly babysat for several families and am comfortable handling bedtime routines, homework help, and coming up with fun activities like arts and crafts. I also have two dogs of my own, so I’m happy to care for pets as well! I have my own vehicle and a clean driving record, with experience driving children to and from various activities—so transportation is never an issue. A few fun facts about me: In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, shopping, and reading. I’m also working toward learning a new language by the end of the year!

Hello! I am currently caring for two toddlers until our contract is up at the end of June. I’d love to continue caring for little ones.

I have my BFA in studio art and love to craft and draw with little ones. I also love to go on nature walks, read and play with the children I care for. I have experience caring for 2 - 10-year-old. I am willing and excited to expand on this range. I am fully vaccinated and up to date on boosters and intend on remaining vigilant with Covid boundaries.
