Sophia P., Babysitter in Wantagh, NY 11793 with 5 years of paid experience

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!

Stacy W., Babysitter in Wantagh, NY 11793 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Stacy, and I worked as a full-time nurse for over 13 years while also offering nanny and babysitting services on weekends. Caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do, and through my weekend childcare experience, I discovered a deeper passion for working closely with children and supporting families. This passion led me to transition into being a full-time nanny and babysitter. I now dedicate my time to providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for children of all ages. My background in nursing means I’m highly trained in safety, first aid, and handling unexpected situations calmly and confidently. I’m experienced in monitoring well-being, maintaining routines, and ensuring children feel secure and cared for at all times. Beyond safety, I truly enjoy engaging with kids whether that’s helping with homework, playing games, or creating a fun and positive environment. Parents can feel confident knowing their children are with someone who is not only dependable and attentive, but also professionally trained to prioritize their health and safety. I look forward to providing trustworthy and caring support for your family!

we've had an amazing experience with Stacy. She is incredibly caring, dependable, and truly wonderful with our kids. What stands out most is how creative and engaging she is she turns everyday activities into fun learning experiences. She teaches science and math concepts while cooking with the kids, which not only keeps them excited and involved, but has also helped them become much more open to eating vegetables and trying new foods. She is hands-on, energetic, patient, and always focused on creating a safe, positive environment. Our kids absolutely adore her and look forward to every visit. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing they are not only well cared for, but also learning, laughing, and growing while they’re with her. We highly recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy, fun, and genuinely exceptional with children.

We had a phenomenal experience with Taylor, whom we hired while on vacation to watch 4 kiddos from two different families. She was incredibly professional and warm. She stuck closely to the schedules we provided, kept us in the loop with regular updates, and communicated clearly every step of the way from the moment we first reached out to when we got back. Her friendly and calm demeanor put us at ease right away, and the kids loved her. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to any family.

Nicole  A., Babysitter in Wantagh, NY 11793 with 10 years of paid experience

My name is Nicole. I am a dedicated, professional nanny with well over 10 years of experience providing exceptional care for children of all ages. I am currently a full time nanny to a one year old child whom I have cared for since she was a newborn, giving me extensive experience with infant routines, developmental milestones, and attentive, nurturing care. I have completed formal coursework in childcare and child development and hold current certifications in First Aid, CPR, and AED. Additionally, I have advanced childcare training and water safety certification, allowing me to maintain the highest standards of safety while supporting each child’s emotional, physical, and developmental growth. As I prepare to purchase a home in Washington DC, I am seeking an opportunity to continue working with a family that values professionalism, trust, and high quality care. I pride myself on being reliable, and deeply invested in the well being of the children entrusted to me.

We hired Nicole in March ‘25 and she currently still Nannie’s for us. She was a gem we stumbled on! We were so lucky to find her. She started taking care of our babygirl at 3 months and now she’s a toddler. Nicole is compassionate, caring, nurturing and amazing with our little girl. She has read to her from day one and has worked with us for her to achieve her milestones; from helping us to teach her to roll, to tummy time, to her drinking from an open and straw cup, Nicole has helped us without crossing boundaries. She is also in tune with our girl and learned her cues which has been helpful for our babygirl too. She’s respected our schedule and followed it as well, even with the changes we make. Nicole is not just a typical nanny, she truly cares for the intellectual development of a child and we have benefitted greatly from it. I highly recommend her. I always love the updates throughout the day and the final check in when I come home. I highly recommend her!
