Yes. Every family and kid(s) are different. We can adjust to family childcare needs.

We do not have a preference as to which age group we care for. We have experience working with every age group.

A typical day starts off by making a smooth transition with the family by greeting the kid(s) and then addressing the kid(s) needs.

We found out that working with families as a team would be beneficial in helping raise their kid(s). We are here to help with their kid(s) development by adding that extra hand.

We have sitters available sometimes with a short notice. However, we suggest a two hour in advance booking to ensure the sitter will arrive on time.

The intake form is a form so we can understand your family needs and better service your family. This form also assists with easy transition into homes when introducing new individuals to kid(s).

The difference between a summer and regular school sitter childcare service lies primarily in the duration and schedule of their services. Summer school sitters are childcare services specifically during the summer months of June, July and August only. Regular school sitters are childcare services provided throughout the school year and includes summer months too.

We currently only offer occasional and temporary or parttime childcare services for families.

Yes, there is a 2 hour minimum except for our drop off or pick up chaperon childcare service.

We would be fine staying later. However, depending on if it’s a kid related emergency or the schedule afterwards, we may not be able to stay.

We are flexible based on family needs and demands. However, we do advise families to book in advance to confirm date(s).

A part-time sitter and an occasional sitter differ in terms of their regularity and frequency of providing childcare services. A part-time sitter is typically hired to provide childcare services on a regular, ongoing basis for a specific number of hours per week or month. They have a consistent schedule. Part-time sitters may have a longer-term commitment and a more established relationship with the family they work for. An occasional sitter, on the other hand, is typically hired on an as-needed basis and does not have a regular or consistent schedule. They are usually sought for specific occasions, such as date nights, backup childcare, sick kid childcare or events, when parents require temporary childcare support. Occasional sitters may not have a long-term commitment.

Yes, we have team members that speak different languages.

Family safety comes first. We carefully vet each worker. We investigate and verify all information given including but not limited to criminal history, education, certifications, previous experience(s), references and driving record. Each worker is checked on the sex offender registry too. Drug screening and driving record history are also available. We use a well known employee background check company that vet workers for big and small businesses.

Once we start working with your family, we provide a background check, vaccination and emergency contact information.

Each family is assigned an individual worker for the childcare services requested. However, if the worker is absent or based on the family needs, there would be another worker to fill in for the time.

Yes, you do have the option to meet the assigned worker before the start date.

We try our best to assign a worker that best fits your family needs. However, you have the option to request a new assigned worker by filling out the required form.

Yes. Here's an incident with a kid. A kid had a serious bruise while running around at the playground. The first thing the team member did was check the kid to make sure they were fine while remaining calm. Next, they escorted the kid to the bench area out of any danger and calmed the kid down. Once seated, they used my First Aid skills, contacted the family and sent a picture of the bruise. The parent suggested that they take them to the nearest Urgent Care. The kid needed stitches and they stayed until the parent was able to meet me there.

Since we work with numerous NYC families and expanding everyday, we have asked each family to write a testimonal or review about their experience with us. Some families choose to remain anonymous. We respect each family privacy. You can check out the current testimonals here.

While with families, our team members can only use their phone to communicate with families, communicate with us or family emergencies. There could be disciplinary actions taken against the team member if violation of this policy is found.
