We had a great experience with Dayna! She made us (and our 10 month old son) comfortable as soon as we met her. She is highly experienced, was very attentive to our son’s specific needs, and was highly communicative. We had a fire alarm in our apartment act up while she was babysitting for us, and she helped us resolve the issue quickly while making sure everyone was safe. We are very glad we met her and would recommend her highly!

We hired Rabia after my wife broke her elbow and was unable to lift the baby. Naturally, my wife was nervous about staying involved in baby care. Rabia ensured the baby's needs were met while helping my wife stay included and connected. Because we both work from home, we spent a lot of time with Rabia and got to know her: we found her to be pleasant, professional, and kind. She was the peaceful presence we were looking for in a nanny. Our baby was lucky to have such a devoted and knowledgeable caregiver. Rabia was reliable, gentle, and calm. It was easy to communicate with her. She showed up on time every day full of energy and good cheer. We felt very comfortable leaving our baby in her care. When she was with our 6mo old, she actively played with him on the playmat. She put him into tummy time, helped him practice sitting up, and worked on other motor skills. She proactively thought about the baby's development and future well-being. Her experience and ease with children were obvious. We would be happy to hire her again.

Monae is the absolute best childcare option in the NYC area. We came up for a wedding, and everything about Monae, from her extraordinary credentials and impeccable communication, had us at ease for the almost 10 hours we were gone. When we came back from the wedding, our 2.5 year old was happy and calm, and had eaten better for Monae than she ever does for us. Monae is exceptional, and we only wish she lived in SC so that she could be a regular part of our lives. Do yourself a favor and book Monae if she's available!

**ACTIVELY SEEKING GIGS - SPRING 2026** HEY! I'm Harrison. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I’m up for logistic-satisfying hangs, orchestrating grand adventures, date night coverage, and more. If you think I may be a good fit for your family, would love to connect! A little about me— I moved to Brooklyn ~4 years ago to manage a giant rock climbing gym. I've worked with kids a ton in climbing gyms over the last 10 years, from running summer camps to making birthday parties awesome. After leaving my role last year, I transitioned to sitting/nannying in an attempt to reclaim joy in my work life-- and it's been a blast so far. I like climbing, games (video, board, word, active, other), telling riddles + jokes (ask me about street sweepers!) building things, cooking, soccer, swimming, and riding my bike excessive distances. I went to school for film, and I used to be a producer on a PBS show-- I still love filming/editing fun videos with the kids I sit for (*movie magic*)! I'm CPR / first aid certified and generally skilled at balancing fun and safety in childcare settings. I'm a skilled driver, though I do not currently own a car. Beyond just sitting, I'm happy to support with: -homework help! I used to student teach / tutor English back in high school, and I am generally math-proficient. -meal prep! I chef 95% of my apartmenthold's meals right now, and I love to cook. -climbing! Wanna learn the ropes or just give it a try? I'm your guy. -pet care! I live with 3 cats (1 mine, 2 my girlfriend’s) and I care for dogs of friends & clients regularly. Hope to hear from you!

Harrison babysat for our 2-year old son while we were visiting NY and went for a play. He was great, we will definitely reach out to him again if we need. He was communicative, responsive, listened to and asked appropriate questions and best of all for this out-of-town mother, showed up prepared with a bag of toys and games perfect for my son! By the time we got back our son was asleep, and they’d had a great dinner and evening together. 10/10 would recommend Harrison for anyone looking for a babysitter for young children. Thanks again!

Being outdoors is one of my greatest joys—I enjoy gardening, planting, and making the most of fresh air. 👩👧 Family & Background I’m a proud parent of two children who graduated from Rutgers University (New Brunswick).

I believe in creating a fun, enriching environment where kids can learn, explore, and grow. 🍼 Experience Since 2021, I have worked as a nanny for three families, caring for children ranging in age from 5 months to 5 years old.

I look forward to meeting your family and providing reliable, caring support for your little ones!
