Hello! With over 16 years of professional childcare experience, I specialize as an Infant Care Specialist, supporting families through the important early stages of their child's development. My expertise includes infant care, healthy sleep foundations, feeding support, developmental milestones, establishing consistent routines, and creating customized schedules that help both infants and parents thrive. I have extensive experience working with both domestic and international families, providing discreet, professional, and personalized care. I am comfortable supporting dynamic household environments, maintaining confidentiality, collaborating with household staff, and adapting to each family's unique parenting style and lifestyle needs. In addition to infant care, I have significant experience caring for multiple children of varying ages. I excel at creating structure within busy households while ensuring each child receives individualized attention and developmentally appropriate support. My approach is warm, hands-on, and engaging. I encourage learning through play, creativity, outdoor exploration, music, art, cooking activities, and educational outings that foster confidence, curiosity, and independence. Throughout my career, I have accompanied families on domestic and international travel, ski holidays, weddings, hotel stays, seasonal relocations, and extended vacations. Whether providing overnight support, temporary full-time coverage, travel assistance, or short-term care while families search for a permanent caregiver, I offer flexible, reliable support tailored to each family's needs. My background includes leading children's art and theatre programs through YMCA programs in California and Wisconsin. Families consistently describe me as calm, dependable, adaptable, and genuinely invested in their children's well-being and development. I am also happy to assist with children's meal preparation, maintaining routines, bedtime support, and organizing children's spaces. Please note that I have a 5-hour booking minimum. Rates vary based on the age and number of children, scheduling requirements, evenings, overnights, and travel. If you are seeking an experienced Infant Care Specialist who brings warmth, expertise, discretion, and structure to your family, I would be delighted to connect with you.

Laylah was a phenomenal find for us, a true NYC Mary Poppins experience. Kind, flexible, incredibly trustworthy with a generous spirit, she took our son on an adventure (“best day ever”) while we cared for a loved one at a local hospital with a child-free policy. We were in a bind and she more than saved the day, she made his day. SO happy to have found her and would enthusiastically recommend.

Hello! I am looking for a full time position as I transition from working for the Department of Education. I am enrolled in remote classes at The City College of New York, working on my Bilingual Childhood Education BA. I have a very friendly, welcoming, and nurturing personality. I am an older sister, we have an 9 year gap which, of course, deemed me her personal (un)official babysitter. I also have both professional and personal experience with infants. I also lived with a close family and was closely involved in caring for her twin infants during their first 18 months, supporting and implementing routines and development. I am comfortable and connect with all ages. I love parks, museums, and anything outdoors! I am open to answer any questions so we can get to know each other further.

Yamelis has been an exceptional nanny for our infant, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. From day one, she has shown genuine warmth, patience, and attentiveness. She is highly reliable, always punctual, and communicates clearly about our baby’s day, including feedings, naps, and milestones. Yamelis creates a calm, nurturing environment that makes our child feel safe and happy. She is knowledgeable about infant development and engages our baby with age-appropriate activities that encourage growth and curiosity. We fully trust her judgment and care. Any family would be lucky to have Yamelis as their nanny.

Hello! My name is Lina and I look forward to working with you! I have 3 years of babysitting experience, and I live in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan. I’m accessible to pretty much all subway lines for travel. I’ve been around children for most of my life since my mother was a babysitter/nanny for 20+ years. I’m also a mother to an adorable 3 year old. I consider myself a kind, reliable, responsible, and attentive individual. I’m currently pursuing my Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education, as I have a passion for working with children. I’m bilingual, I speak both English and Spanish fluently. I'm also CPR, First Aid & AED certified. I’m available for occasional evening/date night opportunities. Thank you!

Lina was excellent. She was a great communicator and was so joyful in caring for our son. He had an amazing time and took to her immediately. Lina provided us with lots of updates and left everything in our home neat.

I am a Swiss-certified kindergarten teacher, bilingual in German and English, with over 15 years of experience caring for children from infants to teenagers. I have experience working with children on the autism spectrum and with special needs, and I bring a calm, organized, and highly creative approach to my work. I am currently training as a Somatic Therapist, integrating mindfulness-based practices into daily routines to support children’s emotional regulation and overall well-being. My background in music and the arts — as a songwriter and musical theater performer — allows me to create enriching, playful, and inspiring activities that nurture creativity and confidence. I would be happy to bring my skills, reliability, and warm presence to a family

Hi I’m Molly! I’m a comic book artist, looking for extra work! I absolutely adore children, and believe there’s nothing more fulfilling than helping families. I have previous nannying experience in college. I nannied for a 2-year-old boy and 5-year-girl. I also have my very own 5-year-old sister, so I’ve seen every meltdown, every smelly diaper, and every crazy situation you can imagine! I have additional mental healthy training from my experience as a peer mentor at Montclair State University (however, those were very big kids!!) As an artist, I have a very active imagination so we can definitely play pretend, make cookies (not to brag, but my fiancé thinks I make the best chocolate chip cookies), or do whatever the kiddos want—within reason of course, haha!

Hi, I’m Adama! I’m a full-time finance student and CPR & First Aid certified, currently seeking part-time or occasional babysitting (evenings, weekends, date nights, or short shifts). I have 3–4 years of childcare experience, including caring for children in both home and program settings. I previously worked as a youth mentor with So Shell Butterflies (HANAC) and provided care for a family with three children ages 3–12. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive, and I enjoy keeping children engaged through play, homework help, and outdoor activities. I adapt easily to each family’s routines and prioritize creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I’m best suited for families looking for a responsible, dependable sitter rather than full-time childcare. I look forward to supporting families who need flexible, quality care.

Hello! My name is Elisabeth! I am 24, and I have been babysitting for 10 years! As a full-time teacher, working with children is something I find joy in! I enjoy babysitting because it allows my parents to go out or run that errand with the assurance that their child/children are being well cared for. For us (The child/children and I), it's a time to explore, play games, sing songs, dance, or bake! As mentioned before, I work during the day as a full-time teacher's assistant and evenings. and weekends as a babysitter. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have my code ANA certification, mandated reporter, and Foundations in Health and Safety. I also have my driver's license!
