Hi! I am looking to get back into babysitting to help support myself through Physician Assistant School at Hofstra University. While studying Molecular Biology at Colgate University for undergrad, I also led a club offering after school care/activities for 4th and 5th graders at the local school. After graduating in 2022, I began working as a medical assistant at pediatric office, where I gained experience treating children for the last year. My favorite part of my job was interacting with kids of all ages, so I am really excited about getting back into baby sitting! Making the kids comfortable in the office and helping them feel better has been so rewarding, so I am looking forward to giving the same care to your children. In my free time I love being with my family and friends, going to the beach, and exercising. Please reach out if you’d like to know more about me, I would love to chat!

I'm currently only available for weeknights and weekends. Feel free to reach out with any last minute needs! I’ve been babysitting and nannying all over the city for the past 10 years. I've worked with infants to 12 year olds. Working with children is one of my biggest passions, and I love meeting new families. Through babysitting and teaching, it’s my goal to give children the tools they need to empower themselves and to be compassionate, loving, and resilient. As a caregiver, I strive to be a strong role model for children. I aim to be enthusiastic, grounded, calm, patient, and curious. I encourage children to be dreamers and explorers, sing with their hearts, and tell the silliest jokes. I balance assertiveness with affection and compassion with determination. My goal is to give children the boundaries they need to feel safe and secure, but also the freedom to express themselves fully and to celebrate that. I can be very flexible and do my best to always put the family’s needs first. I work well with families who share my same values as a mentor and caregiver. I'm also looking for a family that values communication, open-mindedness, and are willing to work with me as a team player. I'm very comfortable taking children out on adventures throughout the city. I've worked predominantly in upper Manhattan and the Park Slope area of Brooklyn. Nevertheless, I know NYC very well and am very comfortable traveling with children throughout all parts of the city. Looking forward to hearing from you!

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 :)

First, let me tell you a little about myself, I'm currently in college majoring in Hospitality Management. I love kids and have babysat kids around my neighborhood but not as a paid job. I have a balance between safety and fun that will cater to the needs of the parents as well as the child. I was certified in First Aid CPR from the American Red Cross. Plus, I'm a great cook as I am studying it in college as well as being knowledgeable about the safety of food and food allergies. I also love animals, I actually thought of being a vet because of my love for them. I currently have two cats and two fishes. And plan to have more pets in the future. I love being able to be a good older role model to children as they mature by showing children that it is okay to have fun as long as you are being safe. I can be assertive in this manner while allowing them to fight boredom in playing games, watching television, making cookies; of course all after their homework is complete. So, I am eager to tend to all your babysitting needs.
