Why I Love Being a Sitter I’ve always loved caring for children—it comes naturally to me. As a mom of two and a former teacher, I know how important it is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel seen and supported. I genuinely enjoy helping children grow, learn, and explore their unique personalities. Whether we’re reading stories, doing crafts, or just sharing a laugh, I find so much joy in building those special bonds. ⸻ My Experience My childcare journey started early—babysitting as a teen, then working summers as a camp counselor and certified lifeguard. I went on to earn a Master’s in Elementary Education and spent years teaching kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 6th grade. I also led the tennis program at Deer Mountain Day Camp, working with kids of all ages and skill levels. I’ve supported children in all stages of development and feel confident handling routines, schoolwork, playtime, and everything in between. ⸻ My Skills & Training    •   Master’s Degree in Elementary Education    •   Certified Lifeguard (past)    •   CPR & First Aid knowledge    •   Strong classroom management and communication skills    •   Experience with children from infants to pre-teens     I’m patient, attentive, and calm under pressure—qualities that help children feel secure and help parents feel at ease. I’m currently looking for a part-time position that could grow into something more consistent or full-time down the line. I bring warmth, structure, and years of hands-on experience, and I’d love to find a family I can build a lasting relationship with.

Hi parents! I’ve been babysitting and nannying for 10 years and truly love what I do. I first started in college after connecting with local parents through my daycare position - and I’ve been lucky to build lasting relationships with many amazing families ever since. While I’m originally from New Jersey and have worked with families across my community there, I’ve recently moved to Manhattan and I’m excited to connect with new families here! Over the years, I’ve done everything from short-term babysitting and long-term nannying to being a go-to sitter for regular date nights. I have experience with kids of all ages, from infants to teens, and feel especially comfortable with bedtime routines, story time, and light dinner prep. I especially enjoy weekend sitting and date nights (my personal specialty!). I’m also happy to help with weekday evening coverage if parents need time to run errands or take a breather. I’m CPR certified and infant first-aid certified, and I have experience caring for children with allergies, including administering EpiPens. Lastly but certainly not least, I pride myself on being dependable and communicative - I always keep parents well informed about my availability. I know how important it is to have a reliable person watch over your little ones and will always do my best to avoid last minute cancellations. References available upon request - I’d love to get to know your family!

Hi there- I have 15+ years of childcare experience. I can help with laundry. I'm a warm, kind, patient, gentle, trustworthy, reliable, energetic and fun-loving woman with a kind spirit who adores children. Working with children is very rewarding for me. Being able to communicate with a child is essential for understanding their wants and needs. I believe children are all unique and each child develops and learns in individual and distinct ways. Currently, I work in a high school as a Paraprofessional, 1:1 with students that have an IEP. I am also a full-time college student majoring in Sociology with a minor in Early Childhood & Special Education. I am fully vaccinated and boosted against Covid-19. I am trained and certified in the following.. Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED, Bloodborne Pathogen and Sexual Harassment. Giving back to my community is something I'm passionate about. This is why I've been a volunteer with New York Cares since 2018. Helping my community is a way for me to grow as a person and connect with the people in and around my community. I have experience working with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. Some of my childcare responsibilities includes but not limited to: encouraging/assisting children in reaching their age-appropriate development milestones; organizing/hosting playdates, snack/meal prep, kitchen/play area clean-up, homework help, read to/with children; kept children engaged in their interests, played with and did fun activities like arts & crafts; Drs. appointments, trips to the park, zoo, museum and libraries. Bath & bed-time and recipe baking with the children, school/camp/day care pick-up/drop off. My skills and experience will allow me to provide a supervised, safe and stable environment for your loved ones. I look forward to meet or speak with you over the phone.
