Hello Parents! Thank you for visiting my profile. Note: I am currently available to provide childcare on Halloween, Indigenous Peoples Day, Veterans Day, and Christmas break My name is Amanda! I am a currently a freelance pet sitter, and babysitter of 10 plus years. As a New York Native I know how to navigate through the MTA system and the neighborhoods of each borough. I am CPR/First Aid Certified and a non-smoker. I am currently available to provide care on school holidays, school breaks, weekends, and weekday evenings after 7 pm. One of my passions is caring for children, and animals. I have over 10 years of babysitter/nanny experience with children of all ages. Caring for children is a passion I will continue for as long as I can. I love getting to know children, watching them grow, and supporting their important milestones. Along with my childcare experience, I have 10 years of experience working as a pet sitter. My dream is to open a pet care, and babysitting company. Why not both! I have been caring for children since the age of 12. I started babysitting my younger brother at a young age, as I grew older I transitioned into caring for my younger cousins, and working as a babysitter/nanny. In addition, I have experience caring for children with ADHD, ADD, & Anxiety. Since 2019, I have worked with Camp Shiloh as a Counselor in Training, Mentor, and Volunteer. I was also a Camper there for several years as a kid, and it’s one of my the few places I call home. A fun fact about me, I love Harry Potter, and comic books. Some of the fun things I love to do with children are making art, building blocks, engaging in activities around the city, read books, dancing, baking, playing board games, going to parks, playing sports, playing with toys & more. In my free time I like to swim, skateboard, listen to music, learn new things, write, and ground myself in nature. Children love me as their babysitter because I’m empathetic, open minded, committed, and pretty funny. Your child’s safety is my upmost importance, and of course having fun. References can be provided. I wear masks at all times, and I carry hand sanitizer with me. Note: I am aware I have a two star review, if you would like to know more about why that review is on my page I am more than happy to explain the situation. Unfortunately, the parent never had the chance to meet nor interview me.

Hi there! I'm a junior at Columbia University, studying Urban Studies and Architecture. I'm originally from Kansas City and DC, and just got back this fall from Reims, France, the capital of Champagne, where I studied Political Science for two years. I'm outgoing, energetic, and caring with kids, and react well in emergencies. I tutored kids of all ages throughout high school, so I'm great with homework help. I have a valid drivers' license and am happy to run errands. I love teaching kids to be responsible for themselves, instead of being overbearing and authoritative in telling them what to do and not to do. I love making art, playing outside, and cooking with kids. Since I've been abroad since high school, I haven't been able to babysit as much as I used to, and I miss hanging out with kids! I nannied a pair of twins from ages 2 to 7, and have also babysat less longterm for several other families with children in the same age range. I volunteered for 3 years at a school for blind/visually impaired children aged 1-6, and for Head Start daycare.

Hello Moms & Dads :)- Please take a moment to read all 🌹 A little about me. My name is Stephanie, born & raised in NYC. I was studying law in college when I ended up having my child and realized my passion laid with children and decided to pursue a degree in childhood education instead. Throughout the last 20 years as a teacher and managing services for children with developmental disabilities in the department of health and department of education I have worked as a nanny.on the side for supplemental income. I have extensive experience with premature infants up to middle school children and with children on the spectrum, with ADHD or speech delays. I am well versed in the milestones a child should achieve and as a caregiver I implement age appropriate goals to make sure that I work with each child on all their domains of development including their cognitive, sociall, language, academic (if applicable) and physical; although safety is always my #1 priority. Working with children requires patience, empathy, being passionate about it and understanding that every child is different in their own way. I believe that good communication between parents and all caregivers is essential so that everyone is on the same page. As a mom myself I understand how difficult it can be specially for first time parents to separate from their child and feel like they are "missing out" or having a sense of guilt kick in and I'm here to make the process easier and provide ease. For parents with multiple children struggling to find alone or couple time, I am there to insure your mind is at ease with regards to your children’s care while you get some much needed girl/self/couples time. I am CPR certified and update it every 2 years. I am a non smoker. I don't do corporal punishment hence I am not a good fit with parents that do.. love pets 🐶🐱 Best of luck to everyone in their search 🌸🌸Note: I homeschool my teen who will more often than not come with me and be doing his school work on the computer for the most part. This hasn’t been an issue in the past as can be seen by my reviews but completely understand the parents who are not comfortable despite the transparency. 🌸🌸 I only work part time positions (mainly weekdays) as stated above as I work independently with the DOH and DOE.

**ACTIVELY SEEKING GIGS - FALL 2025** HEY! I'm Harrison. I’m actively looking for gigs in the Fall and beyond. I work with a family regularly in the afterschool hours M-Th, but I’m wide open Friday-Sunday and weekday daytime + evenings. 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!
