My name is Ashley. I am a Kindergarten teacher. I love working with children as well as caring for children. I am CPR certified. I have been teaching for 8 years and babysitting for over ten 15 years. I have a lot of child care experience with infants through school aged. I am unable to babysit for families with pets due to pet allergies. If you have any further questions I am open to answer and look forward to hearing from you.

She was amazing! Super knowledgeable about child development. My kids loved her and she was super sweet and fun! She was clean, punctual, professional, and super patient when my daughter experienced first time separation anxiety. We had a great experience with Ashley and highly recommend her!

Hi I’m Sophia! I’m a grad student currently attending SBU to get my MBA! I just graduated in 2025 with a Bachelors of Science in Business and Psychology. I am American Red Cross CPR/AED/First Aid certified for Infants, Children, and Adults. I’ve had 5 years paid experience in childcare starting as a mother’s helper, to babysitter, to nanny. Over the past 5 years I’ve worked with several different families. I started working at my university’s child care Infant-Toddler Room in January 2022 in which I assist with taking care of 15 children ranging from 3 months to 3 years old! Through the daycare, I have acquired several different types of skills through mandated trainings, like allergy awareness and safe sleep. I have travel nanny experience with two different families caring for their infants (6mo and 8mo). I also have a handful of families that I occasionally babysit for! I'm very creative and passionate about art, I love to think out of the box and come up with new crafts and developmentally appropriate activities! I love letting the kids express their creativity through play, music, and art!

I have extensive experience working with infants, toddlers and children, especially with ages 3 months to 6 years old. I spent 6 wonderful years in my hometown as a camp counselor in the Great Neck School District. I also had the amazing opportunity to be an early literacy specialist for the Parent-Child Home program, an international network of program sites that provides low-income families with the necessary skills and tools to ensure their children thrive. Lastly, I spent a fun year working at a daycare, taking care of infants ages 6 to 18 months. I’m fluently bilingual in English and Spanish. Current Certifications include: Wilderness First Responder, CPR Certified (Adult and Child), Epinephrine Auto-Injector certification. Availability starting August 2026: I am available on Mondays and Friday’s from 9:00am-8pm and into the later evenings. During the rest of the week, I am available starting at 5:30pm. I am also available on the weekends with a 1 week's advance notice. Thanks for taking the time to read and I hope to hear from you soon! Warmly, Freda

We had a great experience with Freda! She worked with us a few times and was always kind, pleasant, and willing to adapt to our family’s needs. Most importantly, our 1 year old daughter really enjoyed spending time and playing with her. We’d happily recommend her to other families!

Nicole is wonderful. She was my first experience using a platform like this to find a sitter. She was super attentive when I gave her instructions and engaged with our 3 year old very well. Throughout the night she continued to update me every so often. She has a very kind, sweet demeanor that our son (& dog) gravitated to immediately. The next day when I asked our son how he liked her, he immediately put his hands up in the air and yelled "Yay Nicole".... so i'll take that as a great sign that our son loved having her too.

I have early childhood training. I know CPR and first aid. I am certified as a CNA of New York State. I genuinely love children and always look out for their best interests. I have fond memories of every family I worked for and every Xmas and Channucka I get cards with pictures from "all my children" It is when I can be with children and play with them and help them that I feel most fullfilled. I have excellent references.
