Lauren P., Babysitter in New York, NY 10023 with 18 years of paid experience

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. References, a resume and a professional background check are available upon request.

Lina maria R., Babysitter in New York, NY 10023 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Lina and I am currently seeking a childcare position (35-40 hours/week) starting mid-October or November. For the past two years, I have been an Au Pair, with an amazing family and taking care of their two wonderful girls. As my program comes to an end, I will be focusing on my studies during the evenings and I’m looking for a new family to help during the day. As a full-time caregiver with my current family I took care of everything related to both girls, a role that evolved in time: I have experience following sleep schedules, nap and bedtimes, changing diapers and potty training, Bottle and meal preparation, meal schedules, bathtime and taking them to classes and scheduling playdates with other nannies. I also enjoy cooking, and I’m able to prepare nutritious and balanced meals for the kids if needed. I have additional experience with various families taking care of children of all ages. I am a patient, responsible, and trustworthy person who enjoys working with children, learning about them and helping them grow. I pride myself on being committed to my work, I am punctual and reliable, creating a nurturing and safe environment for the children. I am also CPR certified and I am happy to provide references as needed. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to the opportunity to work with a new family!

Stephanie C., Babysitter in New York, NY 10023 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello Moms & Dads :)- Please take a moment to read all 🌹 A little about me. My name is Stephanie, born & raised in NYC. I was studying law in college when I ended up having my child and realized my passion laid with children and decided to pursue a degree in childhood education instead. Throughout the last 20 years as a teacher and managing services for children with developmental disabilities in the department of health and department of education I have worked as a nanny.on the side for supplemental income. I have extensive experience with premature infants up to middle school children and with children on the spectrum, with ADHD or speech delays. I am well versed in the milestones a child should achieve and as a caregiver I implement age appropriate goals to make sure that I work with each child on all their domains of development including their cognitive, sociall, language, academic (if applicable) and physical; although safety is always my #1 priority. Working with children requires patience, empathy, being passionate about it and understanding that every child is different in their own way. I believe that good communication between parents and all caregivers is essential so that everyone is on the same page. As a mom myself I understand how difficult it can be specially for first time parents to separate from their child and feel like they are "missing out" or having a sense of guilt kick in and I'm here to make the process easier and provide ease. For parents with multiple children struggling to find alone or couple time, I am there to insure your mind is at ease with regards to your children’s care while you get some much needed girl/self/couples time. I am CPR certified and update it every 2 years. I am a non smoker. I don't do corporal punishment hence I am not a good fit with parents that do.. love pets 🐶🐱 Best of luck to everyone in their search 🌸🌸Note: I homeschool my teen who will more often than not come with me and be doing his school work on the computer for the most part. This hasn’t been an issue in the past as can be seen by my reviews but completely understand the parents who are not comfortable despite the transparency. 🌸🌸 I only work part time positions (mainly weekdays) as stated above as I work independently with the DOH and DOE.

Laylah S., Babysitter in New York, NY 10023 with 16 years of paid experience

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.
