Hello! I have been nannying and babysitting for 10 years throughout my education years and beyond. I am a naturally maternal individual who provides top-tier care so parents feel safe and at-ease while away. My experience covers a vast range of ages from lots of infant care (as young as 3 weeks old), up to young teens, and even multiples of 5 children at once. I have a Communication and Media (B.S.) degree, First Aid + CPR certification via American Red Cross, and thorough experience with severe dietary allergies and acid reflux. Diaper changes, meal prep, various nap techniques and schedules, and crafts are all part of my wheelhouse. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or would like to schedule an interview!

Hi! I'm Georgi :) I am 38 years old with a Bachelor's degree in Human Development and Family Studies with an emphasis in Early Childhood Development. I have been taking care of children since I was a teenager. While attending college, I worked at a daycare center caring for infants 6 months to 2 years old. During the summertime, I cared for a 5-year-old 8 hours a day, going to the park, creating activities consisting of art, music and pretend play. I also would babysit children after school, helping with homework and preparing meals. I worked as a home visitor with an early head start program in Brooklyn. I worked alongside 12 families at a time completing child development assessments and creating an individual curriculum depending on the outcome. I also worked 1:1 with the parents to accomplish their own personal goals and help them in any areas they needed. Singing and reading are a must in every child's life and I focused on being open, happy, caring and understanding. Children learn through play and that is exactly what I do with them. I am an auntie of 7 with two under 5 years old. I help my sister regularly and this brings me so much joy to see how they are developing and becoming their own unique person. I traveled to New Zealand Au Pair for a year 2013 - 2014. It was a magical experience and reminded me why I love working with children. It is amazing how much you can influence a child and help them in all aspects of their development. I returned in the middle of 2015 and continued working with the family as we created such a special and trusting bond. I later worked at an Early Childcare Center for 2.5 years caring for children 6 months to preschool. Whilst I was in the infant room I was the primary caregiver following the RIE philosophy. I am always looking for more opportunities to learn from children. They are small humans who deserve respect. I completed a RIE training course that allowed me to delve deeper into this philosophy. I am confident in my abilities and know that I genuinely care for the children I look after. Even though I do not have children of my own it doesn't mean I do not know how to be a mother (figure). I am respectful of people's lives and routines and I do my absolute best to follow that. I have completed many first aid courses over the years. I am looking to find the next family that needs someone like me to be part of their team!

Hello there! My name is Aly, I'm 28 and originally from Chile :) My mom used to have her own Preeschool, which was very focused on the social, intellectual and artistic development of children which was a very interesting and rich environment to be raised in.

I've just finished being the nanny of a lovely 2 yo and currently looking for a ROTA nanny position but I'm also open to be a ocasional and/or weekend babysitter ( I have plenty of nanny/babysitter experience, feel free to reach out :) I'd be happy to help!

Families consistently describe me as patient, caring, energetic, fun-loving, and trustworthy. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can thrive while making daily routines easier and stress-free for parents. Currently, I work with a wonderful family in Forest Hills, caring for two children (ages 12 and 6) and managing their household from start to finish.

Its been a long pandemic, I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I am your weekend backup to help you reset after a long week of being a superhero aka parent. I began working with children at the age of 15. I was a Counselor in Training at a sleep away camp. The following two years I worked as a Camp Counselor at the same camp. I began babysitting at the age of 18. I have worked with multiple families with multiple children. I currently work at a Dance Studio as the manager and instructor. The Dance Studio mostly caters to children between the ages of 2 through 14. I am currently certified in First Aid/CPR/AED for both Adult and Pediatric. My experience makes me qualified but my personality is why I have such a great relationship with the kids. Babysitting has always been fun for me. Children are true little sponges that soak up everything. The things they say or do always manage to make my day brighter. Being younger allows me to truly enjoy my time with families. I love to go outside with kids play a little soccer, baseball, or basketball. Kids always love that I can teach them some dance moves. Although usually most kids just prefer me to read to them. I try to give every character in a book their own voice. I haven't had a bad experience sitting. The occasional meltdown is expected and I'm prepared to handle whatever is thrown mine way. References, a resume and a professional background check are available upon request.

Hi! I've been a nanny and babysitter for over 14 years, caring for children from just a few weeks old up to age 12. What started as helping out a co-worker occasionally has grown into something I've done alongside my professional life for over a decade-and I genuinely love it. Most recently, I spent 7 years with one Brooklyn family, caring for their son from age 5 through 12. I've also worked with babies, toddlers, and sibling combos, including kids with autism and mood-related challenges. I'm confident juggling different needs, ages, and personalities-whether that's helping a toddler through potty training or guiding a 10-year-old through homework frustration. I'm comfortable with: -Infants, toddlers, and older children (including multiples) -Special needs (including mild autism and mood disorders) -Doctor visits -Daytime outings, pickups/drop-offs -Cooking, light cleaning, bedtime, bath time, homework help -Pet-friendly homes (I love animals!) I freelance & work remotely in sales and marketing, which gives me a flexible schedule. Whether you need regular care or backup support, my goal is to make your life easier and help your child feel safe, supported, and seen.

Hi, my name is Kiara but I go by Kiwi! I'm a native New Yorker from Brooklyn and I have over 4 years of childcare experience. I worked at a daycare in Queens (Future Sunshine Daycare) part-time, and went full-time after about 6 months as the owner is also a foster mother and needed help with her 3 foster children. I started living-in 4 days a week for about a year while still working for the daycare, thus caring for 8 kids (2 infants aged 4-6 months, 1 toddler aged 3 and 5 older children aged 6-9) along with 2 other alternating workers. I worked there for 2 years alternating between part-time and full-time after the foster children moved on. This passing summer I worked as a camp counselor at a summer camp in Plymouth, Vermont. I worked there throughout the whole summer as a camp counselor monitoring kids ages 4-11. Since then I've been babysitting for different families and providing occasional coverage for workers at the daycare. I am CPR and AED certified for both adults and children, my red cross certification ID is 10VNC1Q.

Cat H.

Hi, I'm Cat! With over six years of nanny experience in Chicago, I'm eager to find my next family to support. I'd like to support a family for the summer or in a more full-time capacity - targeting 25-45 hours/week. I can guarantee one year and am open to extending my time with the family if we find it's a good fit. I've supported families as a full-time, part-time, or on-call nanny and have built lasting relationships with each. My reviews on Sitter City are sparse as I worked via family referral in Chicago and I'd be happy to provide references upon request. The bulk of my experience is in caring for children ages 18 months to 14 years and I've cared for 2-3 siblings at a time. Additionally, I have experience caring for children with autism and Down syndrome. I'm a patient, lighthearted, and organized caregiver. Having grown up on a farm, I'm a big fan of the outdoors and encouraging free play both in and outside. I follow the child's lead. If they want to sit and play with the grass without talking, I'll follow. If they want to play a complex game of pretend with multiple moving pieces, I'll play whatever role necessary. If they're ready to start a game of soccer, I'll jump in. I value following their interests or needs for that day and am happy to design activities based on their curiosities. I'm nurturing and calm and aim to create environments that foster children's growth. I'm not there to babysit, but to listen to them, care for them, and help them learn. I don't like being on my phone in general, and am not on my phone around kids. I'd love to hop on a quick call to see if I am a good match for your family. I have received First Aid and CPR training in the past, and am happy to renew my certifications before joining a family. Thanks!

Hello! I am a retired Paraprofessional/ Teacher Assistant with 20 years of experience working for the NYC Board of Education. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Educational Studies and am also a proud mother of one. My driver's license is clean, and I am CPR certified. I have a genuine love for children and extensive experience working with special needs kids. Patience, care, and nurturing are qualities I pride myself on. I have significant classroom experience as well as tutoring backgrounds. I have experience working with infants and toddlers. I have worked part-time at a Montessori school with toddlers aged 18 months to three years. I find this age group particularly fascinating, and I thoroughly enjoy working with these young children. I possess extensive experience in feeding and supervising their naps. The two-year-old stage is a critical period, during which they acquire communication skills and assimilate new knowledge. Additionally, I am comfortable with pets and can help with walking them if required.
