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! My name is Elena, I am a School Psychologist I have worked in the elementary and preschool setting. After finishing grad school I began working in Early Intervention providing ABA therapy and special instruction to babies up to age 3. I have a passion for working with infants and toddlers my professional experience has afforded me the skills to help children grow, develop, and learn. I have an Early childhood specialization as well as bilingual Spanish specialization. I have spent a number of years babysitting through out college. Currently I am taking time off from my career as a new mom and provide care in my home only. I have worked with several families creating meaningful relationships. I have also worked in various childcare settings- a daycare for children 2-6 years old, a Gifted and Talented test prep program, summer camp for elementary school students and as an after-school teacher for 1st through 4th grade. Please contact me with any further questions, I look forward to getting to know your family!

I love being a sitter because working with kids brings me so much joy. I’ve spent the last four years as a paraprofessional in schools, supporting children from pre-K through middle school. Along the way, I’ve developed patience, creativity, and strong communication skills while working closely with kids, parents, and teachers. I’m also EMT- and CPR-certified, so safety is always a top priority. Currently, I’m in nursing school, pursuing my dream of becoming a pediatric nurse. Babysitting allows me to continue doing what I love caring for children and helping them feel safe, supported, and happy.

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.

With only 3 years of experience in child care, I feel like I’ve been doing this for a decade. I recently worked at a daycare so I have a lot of experience watching multiple children of different ages at once, as well as having experience nannying 3 foster siblings with learning and behavioral disorders. My approach with children is to always be kind and try and to see things from their perspective, while also being stern and making sure they are safe, learning something and having fun. I am adult and pediatric first aid, CPR, and AED certified (certified through Red Cross, you can verify my validity by checking my certificate ID, which is 01VNC1Q), and love doing house work like cooking, cleaning and laundry. I also walk dogs for wag! , and have 3 cats myself so good with pets and can assist with caring for them as well :)

Babysitting experience assisting with meals and driving to practices as well as pick up from school -helping teach as well as do homework and help cleaning

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.

Hello, my name is Lisa! I have worked as a career nanny in NYC for nearly 10 years and have been babysitting for over 20. My academic background is in Ancient Greek and Roman history and language, and some of my personal passions are drawing, film, gallery exhibits, and live music! I am currently available for daytime or weeknight babysitting jobs with school-aged children, including days that there is no school due to conferences, holidays, etc. I am also available to provide backup care in the event that your typical childcare is unavailable. I am seasoned and confident navigating the city with a child, whether by subway, walking, or car, and would be a valuable asset to you for camp pick-ups, taking kids to classes and appointments, or just safely transporting them home to do homework and have fun. I am skilled at implementing and maintaining age-appropriate sleep and eating schedules. I love to laugh and smile, am very energetic, motivated, friendly, and affectionate. I love going for walks and adventures, hanging out at the playground, reading books, doing art projects, working puzzles, and playing games. I am always up for a dance party! I genuinely have a blast with kids, learning about their interests and hearing their anecdotes. I am happy to help with homework if needed and am a capable cook with the right supplies and clear expectations. I am a team player and follow instruction well. I have wonderful references and a formal resume, and I hope that you will consider me for your family’s new sitter! Please note: I am currently not offering toddler care due to a disc injury.
