I’m an experienced childcare professional who has babysat for many families over the years, caring for children from newborns and infants through school age. Because I’ve worked with so many different families and age groups, I’m comfortable stepping into a new household, learning a family’s routines and expectations, and building rapport with children quickly. I previously worked for a babysitting agency providing childcare for families both in their homes and at hotels. This gave me experience working with families I was often meeting for the first time and helped me become very adaptable and confident helping children feel comfortable with a new caregiver. I understand that parents may be leaving their child with someone new, so I make communication, safety, and helping both the child and parents feel at ease a priority. Many of my babysitting relationships have also developed naturally through my professional childcare positions. While working as an after-school educator and coach, several families whose children I worked with began hiring me privately for babysitting. The same happened while I worked at an infant center caring for babies ages 6 weeks to 15 months. I really value that families who saw how I interacted with and cared for their children trusted me to continue caring for them outside of those settings. My broader childcare experience includes working as a full-time nanny, infant teacher, baby nurse at a postpartum resort, ABA therapist, special needs camp counselor, and after-school educator and coach. This has given me experience with everything from feeding, bottles, diapering, soothing, naps, and bedtime routines to play, homework help, outings, and caring for multiple children. I am also EMT certified and previously served for six years as a medic in the U.S. Army. My medical background has provided extensive training in first aid, emergency response, and safety. I’m warm, patient, dependable, and very hands-on with children. One of my strengths is being able to build rapport quickly, which is especially important when babysitting children who may not know me yet. I want children to feel safe and comfortable with me while also having fun, whether we’re playing, reading, doing an activity, or simply following their normal evening routine.

Edit I am an upbeat, interactive, articulate, attentive, fun, and very nurturing woman who has over 10 years experience working as a nanny. I have also been employed as a Hatha Yoga instructor to 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th graders as part of an experimental remedial reading/writing art program. I genuinely enjoy engaging a child in safe, fun and creative play and learning via reading, singing and dancing, athletics, visiting libraries and museums, running around parks and playgrounds, crafts, stimulating games and puzzles that encourage mental & physical development, teaching baby sign language or fostering verbal skills through imaginary play & dress-up, yoga, and just lots of sweet, affectionate and cuddly time spent together. Sharing time and energy in the delightful and stimulating company of a child, as I create a supportive , positive, healthy and happy environment in which to laugh & learn, is my idea of a workday well spent! In many of the letters of recommendation included with my resume, are parents' descriptions of me as a very attentive, patient, athletic, articulate, affectionate and very positive influence in a child's life. Having cared for numerous challenging children with special needs, I am quite able to be firm, yet loving as boundaries are set and maintained in a fun, happy and respectful manner. While working as a Hatha Yoga instructor to NYC's P. S. 124 & 126's 1st, 2nd, 4th & 5th graders as part of an experimental remedial reading/writing art program, I developed my natural skills of being not only creative and firm, but patient, attentive, sensitive, athletic, articulate and very health/safety-conscious when it comes to the excellent and special care I enjoy giving to children. Their delightful and stimulating company, no matter what age, has always been an education and enlightenment for me over the 10 yr. nanny career I've worked in NYC. What a way to make a living! Engaging and exchanging time and energies with little ones {my experience is with 6 weeks. - 11 yrs. old } is so rewarding as I get to have my own life enriched and enhanced by their extraordinary curiosities, affections and rapid growth as I teach and model for them a strong, positive, cultured, healthy, self-confident, well-spoken, kind, engaged, artistic and creatively-adventurous woman. I have cared for children from Harlem to the Hamptons, and loved it all! 3-4 full days is my preference, but other schedules definitely considered

Hi, I’m Iyana! I’m a warm, dependable sitter with 3 years of experience caring for children from infancy through kindergarten. I’ve worked as both a nanny and in a daycare setting, which has helped me build strong skills in everything from bottle-feeding and diaper changes to creating fun, age-appropriate activities.

I am a mom to older boys who is kind and compassionate for babies, toddlers and kids of all ages. I have been in childcare for over 10 years with so many success stories to tell. Some of the kids I have worked with are in Colleges and some are working the world over. I am so great around kids and they love me naturally.

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!

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.
