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 2 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 evenings/date nights and weekend opportunities. Thank you!

Lina is a gem! She is punctual, highly communicative, and truly enjoys kids. As someone pursuing her graduate degree in childhood education, her passion for meaningfully engaging with youth really shines through. She babysat our 10 and 5-year-olds so we could have a date night. She arrived right on time, took detailed notes about food and bedtime, and checked in while we were out. The kids were fast asleep with the lights out when we got home, and they later told us they had a absolute blast playing with her. Highly 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! With over 16 years of experience caring for children of all ages, I bring a deep passion for child development along with the professionalism and flexibility to support high-profile, domestic and international families. I specialize in caring for infants, with a strong focus on sleep training, feeding routines, and daily schedules. Often with infant and school-age children, — supporting multiple children across different ages. I’m known for creating calm, engaging, and enriching environments where children thrive emotionally, socially, and creatively. My style is hands-on, warm, and imaginative. I love involving children in outdoor play, creative art projects, theatre games, children's cooking lessons, and music appreciation—offering thoughtful, developmentally appropriate alternatives to screen time. Whether it’s an afternoon in the park or discovering a new museum, I believe in learning through exploration and joy. Over the years, I’ve supported families during domestic and international travel, ski holidays, weddings, hotel stays, and temporary relocations. Whether you need support for a weekend, a full day, overnight, or longer-term coverage while you search for the perfect permanent caregiver, I offer flexible, professional, discreet, high-standard tailored to your family’s lifestyle. I’ve led children’s art and theatre programs in California and Wisconsin (YMCA art programs) and have consistently received glowing feedback for my calm presence, reliability, and genuine love for children. I’m happy to assist with light cooking, routines, bedtime, and stepping in whenever life demands extra hands. Please note: I have a 5-hour booking minimum. Rates vary depending on infant care, number of children, weekday, weekend, and evening needs. I’m open to short-term bookings, temporary full-time, weekends, and travel, depending on availability. If you're seeking a kind, trustworthy, and experienced caregiver who brings warmth, structure, and creativity to your child’s day—I’d love to connect.

We are so very grateful for Laylah! We were in from out of town when the the babysitter we had lined up canceled at the very last minute. Left with no options and expensive Broadway tickets, I reached out to Laylah and was immediately comfortable leaving my children with her. Laylah swooped in like a veritable Mary Poppins, and whisked our kids away to have a true NYC experience: Taxi Cabs, photos with transformers, Central Park zoo... Our kids had a great time, and we were able to thoroughly enjoy our show! We met up with them afterwards, and the children were full of tales from their adventures, and Laylah sent us myriads of photos. We are so grateful for her professionalism, competence, and easy-going nature-I would recommend her to *anyone*.

Hi, I'm Seun! Fair warning — if you hire me, there's a good chance your kitchen may become a culinary lab. We once recreated edible dirt using crushed Oreos and gummy worms, and it was a hit. I've been working with children since high school and have loved every moment of it. I believe kids see the world with a curiosity and wonder that is truly special, and I feel privileged to play a role in their growth into their own autonomous selves. This work has taught me the rewards of being present, the value of play, and the power of creativity — lessons I carry with me every day. I believe the best moments with children happen when you lean into their interest, and I've built my entire approach around that idea. I've been working with children since high school — starting with families of teachers and growing through word-of-mouth ever since. I'm experienced with toddlers through preteens, comfortable with multiples, and tend to build long-term relationships with the families I work with. Day-to-day I can help with morning and nighttime routines, meal prep, homework, driving to activities, and keeping kids engaged with screen-free games, outdoor play, and playdates. I'm currently in medical school on a scholar's Year for research, which means I bring a clinical understanding of child safety, health, and development to every family I work with — and I have genuine flexibility in my schedule for the foreseeable year. I also volunteer as a tutor supporting students from elementary school through the college application process. I'm available to start immediately and would love to meet your family. Feel free to reach out!

I have been working with children since I was 16 years old from ages 4 months- 12 years old. I grew up as one of the oldest to many cousins and loved going to work with my mother who was a teacher, which is where my passion started. I started babysitting at 16 and have been working in childcare programs since 2019. I started at a daycare in 2019 working with children from age 5 months to 13 years old. I worked at a special needs pre-K for two years and I am now working as a prek teacher’s assistant in an elementary school. I have also part-time worked with a 19-year-old with Rhett syndrome. I enjoy providing engaging activities where children can also learn through play! I have my CPR and first aid certificate. I’m looking for a full-time position and would be available to start mid June. I am looking forward to speaking to you!!
