Amira W.

Hello, hello!

I’m a graduate student at Columbia University’s Medical Center and am looking to start babysitting and meeting families in NYC! I’ve always loved working with children and have years of care taking experience in multiple settings from private babysitting to after school tutoring to a camp counselor. I’ve been working with kids for over 6 years and absolutely love it. I consider myself to be a quite positive, silly, and adventure-seeking person which makes hanging out with kids a great time. I learn so much from their overwhelming curiosity and impulsivity.

While I love to play with kids, I’m also comfortable with any necessary tutoring, housekeeping, etc. I’m a flexible person who is willing to help out however necessary.

I have over 6 years of experience working with children with special needs, from Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, and cerebral palsy. I feel very confident working with children with any disability and absolutely love it. I’m currently pursuing a degree in Occupational Therapy to be able to work in pediatrics and developmental disabilities!

Additional services: Meal preparation, Laundry, Light housekeeping, Swimming supervision, Crafts, Potty training, and Travel with family.
