Britania B.
- 9 years paid experience
- 3 miles

Hi! My name is Britania, and I’m a warm, patient, and dependable babysitter with a true passion for working with children. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for kids of all ages in a variety of family settings—including single-parent households, busy working families, and those with multiple children or unique routines. What sets me apart is my commitment to creating a fun, nurturing, and safe space where children can thrive. I love planning creative activities like arts and crafts, baking, and imaginative play that keep kids engaged and learning while having fun. I always aim to go above and beyond—not just to supervise, but to connect, encourage, and support each child in their own unique way. I understand the trust it takes to invite someone into your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to be a reliable, calming presence and a positive influence in a child’s daily life. Whether your family needs occasional help or regular care, I’d love the opportunity to work with you. I’m happy to provide references and meet to see if I’m the right fit for your family. Looking forward to connecting!

Hello Families, I'm Jackie. I have over 10 years of experience working in child care, and as a performing arts teacher. I grew up the oldest of three, with a neuro-typical brother and non-verbal, autistic sister. Growing up in this family structure led me into a natural care-giving path that I've been on for all of my adult life alongside my professional acting career. Since moving to New York City in 2010, I have worked for many different families. Some for one-night, some for two years. My experience ranges from 3 weeks to 13 years old. In my view, my job as a child care provider is to keep children safe and act as a team-mate alongside their grown-ups to provide loving care and support to their little ones. I'm very much a-nanny who gets on the ground and plays with the kiddos-kind of gal and would love to meet yours and see if we'd be a good fit. *Note: I am currently seeking full time hours, paid legally, on the books. I am happy to work with whichever payroll service you'd like to work with Some Relevant Experience: Part Time Nanny Girl 3.5, Boy 9 Brooklyn, NY 11/17 - 01/20 Part Time Babysitter Boy age 2, Girl Age 4 Brooklyn, NY 01/18 - 03/20 Occasional Babysitter All Ages: While it existed: Chime, by Sittercity Brooklyn and Manhattan, NY 08/13 - 05/19 Camp Counselor/Head of Performing Arts Aloha Hive Camp for girls 7-12 Fairlee, VT 06/05 - 08/19 *References available upon request after communication.

Hi, dear parents! My name is Tabatha (Tabi). I am 28 years old and I live in New Windsor, NY. I have a huge passion for kids and I have had the opportunity to work with them for the last nine years of my life. I have child care experience with kids of ages 0-10 yrs/o in different settings, including in-home child care and daycare centers. I worked as an English teacher in a daycare center and shortly after, I decided to become an Au Pair. Throughout that journey, I was part of a wonderful family and I was in charge of three kids (ages 1, 5 & 7). I worked with them for two years, and they became like a second family to me. I love them as my own little siblings :) Growing up, I was always the first one to volunteer to take care of my little cousins and my little brother, nothing made me happier than spending the day with them! On my free time, I would also watch my neighbor’s 3 year old son and some of my sister’s friends’ kids. My sister is an Initial Educator and she has thought so much about it; we both share this love for putting a smile on little ones’ faces by learning about the most effective ways we could apply in order to achieve that. Babysitting brings me so much joy. I love playing with kids, watching them grow and being a positive figure in their life while they learn and develop their awesome personalities. I love engaging and putting my 100% on everything I do. I take my job seriously and I can assure you that your kids will be in very responsible, loving, and experienced hands. I am an energetic, happy, playful, hardworking, patient and responsible girl. My main goal in your home would be providing excellent care to your kids, while learning as much as possible and having fun all day. I’m bilingual: Spanish and English. I’d be happy to teach the kids some Spanish, if you guys would like me to :) I am happy to provide references. My availibility starts on January 1st (flexible). I’m excited to hear back from you! Please feel free to reach out to me :) Thanks, Tabi :)
