More Than a Sitter—A Mentor, Homework Helper & Friend Hi, I'm Electra! I'm a Biotechnology and Mathematics undergraduate with a
Hi, I'm Elektra! I'm a Biotechnology and Mathematics undergraduate with a passion for working with children and helping them thrive. With over five years of childcare experience caring for younger family members and two years of professional babysitting experience, I've learned that every child deserves a safe, supportive, and fun environment where they can be themselves.
I love staying engaged with the children I care for, whether that means helping with homework, reading stories, playing games, doing creative activities, or simply being a patient and encouraging presence throughout their day. As an author and avid reader, I enjoy fostering curiosity, imagination, and a love of learning.
Parents can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and caring. My goal is not just to provide childcare, but to be someone children feel comfortable with and someone parents can trust with confidence.
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Part-time employment.
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Norfolk for work.

I’m a 17-year-old high school student who’s worked hard to build strong communication and academic skills. I've earned the New York State Seal of Biliteracy, which demonstrates my proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking English and Spanish, and I'm currently working on my Civil Literacy Seal! In school, I’ve helped friends and classmates study and spent time supporting younger students with their homework. Those experiences taught me how to be patient and be able to explain things in a way that actually makes sense. I meet people where they’re at. Everything I’ve learned so far helps me show up as someone reliable, understanding, and ready to help other students feel more confident.
Hi! My name is Noemi (no-eh-mee), and I'm approaching my senior year of high school. I'm a caring student who is involved in student life and sports. I love kids and caring for them, and I'm a flexible, engaging, and fun teenager who would love to babysit your kids! I live in the Bronx, but I'm willing to travel to different boroughs and Westchester area to babysit. I know NYC very well, as I've grown up here my whole life, so screen-free activities are never a challenge! I'm well-versed with public transportation, and I am willing to walk any and everywhere! Once my school year starts, my availability will change. However, beginning August 1, 2026, I am essentially available whenever is necessary for you (I am in my basketball season until July 27, 2027, therefore I do not want to promise unlimited availability until it is over. I am still available during this time, but practices and away-games impact when I am home/free).

I'm going into my senior year of high school, and I have and will continue to take difficult courses. I also was on track to be a competitive swimmer (I now play basketball), so I'm reliable for children safety at beaches or pools. I also have a younger niece who I've taken care of alone multiple times, who is currently six. I have worked with children creatively at my school, keeping them engaged and building relationships. I'm a big learner who is flexible and compliant.
