This was my first time using a babysitter, so I was naturally a little nervous. Cathy made me feel comfortable and reassured me throughout the experience. I really appreciated her kindness and how she helped ease my worries. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend her to other families. I would happily book with Cathy again!

Hello families, my name is Erin and I have been a caregiver for 10 years. I am 27 years old and I will ensure that your children are receiving the same love and attention as if they were my own. I am a NY certified social studies teacher who also has a masters degree in teaching English to non- native English Speakers. (ENL) As a mother myself of one energetic 11 year old, I understand the kind of care we want for our children. I do have my own form of childcare so this would not become an issue. As a nanny who is proficient in understanding the emotional needs of children, I know how crucial it is to be dependable, attentive, and nurturing! I have cared for newborns all the way to pre-teens! Past responsibilities included errands, meal preparation, chores, pick-up/drop off from after school activities, etc. As a nanny, I am very open-minded and understand that all children require their own form of unique accommodations as well as families. Fun fact: My daughter and I compete in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu together:)

We hired Katie a couple weeks ago and she was wonderful! She engaged so well with our kids, playing with them throughout the evening. She handled bedtime beautifully, getting them settled down and reading them a story before sleep. Katie was reliable and the kids really enjoyed having her. We'd definitely hire her again!

Caitlyn was a pleasure to work with! She watched our infant at a family wedding. She was extremely caring and provided a calm environment amidst the excitement of a family celebration. She was flexible and so helpful.

Catherine has been working with us for almost a year watching my 16 month old daughter while I work from home. She is extremely reliable and has helped our family tremendously. My daughter is happy to see her when she arrives and I am confident she is getting quality care. Catherine has experience with children in the infant/toddler range and always informs me of updates throughout the day and keeps my little one on schedule. She genuinely seems to enjoy working with kids, engaging in playtime and taking my daughter to activities. She has even taken care of our dog while we've been away. Overall I would recommend her to anyone looking for care for their children.

We had a wonderful experience working with Karen. She responded quickly to our listing, and from the moment we connected, we felt completely comfortable leaving our one year old daughter in her care. Karen babysat for us while we attended a wedding and seamlessly handled playtime, dinner, bottles, and bedtime. She checked in with us beforehand to make sure she had all the details she needed, and she sent thoughtful updates throughout the night. Karen is a confident, caring, and truly lovely caregiver. We highly recommend working with her!

Hi, I'm Kathy — a mom of three and former classroom teacher who believes childcare should feel like a partnership with your family, not just a job. I'm currently available for part-time work. Calm, dependable, and always ready to meet your kids where they are. Having raised three children of my own, I understand firsthand what it truly takes to nurture, guide, and show up for a child day after day. Teaching is at the core of how I care for kids. With years of experience as a classroom teacher, I know how to connect with children of all ages, adapt to different learning styles, and meet them exactly where they are — whether that's working through a tricky homework assignment, encouraging a reluctant reader, or simply being patient while working through tantrums. I bring that same structure and attentiveness to every family I work with. As a certified nutrition and health coach, I bring a thoughtful perspective on healthy habits and routines for kids, and my CPR and First Aid certifications give you added confidence that your little ones are in capable hands. Beyond childcare, I'm happy to help with light housekeeping to keep things running smoothly while you're away, and as an animal lover, I'm completely comfortable around pets of all kinds. My goal is to be someone you trust completely — reliable, attentive, and consistent — so you can have real peace of mind while you're away.

My name is Maria, and I am a dedicated nanny with a decade and a half of professional experience in child care, alongside the personal experience of raising a wonderful daughter of my own. My journey with children has not only been a job but a passion that has grown with every year I’ve spent nurturing young minds. I am currently seeking a part-time position and am available to bring my caring nature and expertise to your home on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm. My schedule is crafted to align with the academic calendar, as I’ve been with a wonderful family for a decade and continue to work with them. However, now that the children are in school, I have additional hours and an abundance of care to extend to another fantastic family. My approach is always thoughtful and centered around the unique needs of each child I look after. I pride myself on being reliable—a trait that has been paramount in maintaining a decade-long relationship with a single family—and hardworking, always willing to go that extra mile to ensure a stable, positive environment for the children in my care. My experience spans caring for children of all ages, from the delightful curiosity of toddlers to the fascinating thoughts of teenagers. I deeply understand the varying needs at different developmental stages, and I’m adept at engaging children in a mix of educational and recreational activities. I can cook, drive, do laundry, run errands – anything you need, no task too big or small. I am looking forward to the opportunity to care for your children, providing them not just with supervision, but with a nurturing, fun environment where they can thrive, learn, and feel at ease. Please feel free to contact me for any more information or to discuss how I can be a part of your family’s journey.

Maria is one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. She has been with my family for about a year and a half now. She gets my kids off the bus at around 3 and watches them until I get home (4-5 days/week), generally around 7. She is more than willing to help you out, with whatever you need. When asked to do something in particular, her pat answer is "no problem". She is a a great driver and VERY responsible. She has not once left me shorthanded and has helped me out on NUMEROUS occasions when I was in a jam. For example, she even slept over when night when my husband and I went away! Her help around the house, wonderful can do attitude, responsibility, and understanding of children is a home run. My kids are getting older so I do not need help with the kids as much as I did. Maria is a treasure and I have come to think of her as a good friend. I am going to miss all of her help! If you are unsure, give her a chance - you will not be sorry.
