I have been babysitting since 2014 and nannying since 2018. I have also been subbing for the past three years and I recently graduated with a bachelors degree in elementary education. I am a travel nanny in the summer for a family based out of NYC and during the school year I am teaching currently. Summer of 2021, I was a part-time nanny for a 14 month old girl where I had many responsibilities including putting her down for her nap, feeding her, and entertaining her for the duration of our day. I have learned a lot about working with babies and toddlers on things like motor skills, developmental milestones, and emotional understanding. For older children, I have learned many strategies pertaining to supplemental learning inside and outside of the classroom. I love going on adventures and making the best out of any situations, so rain or shine I can guarantee we will have a lot of fun!

I am an education major, and I absolutely love working with children. It is my lifelong passion. I have volunteered at my local elementary schools and babysat when I was in my first semester of college.

Hi there, My name is Molly! I'm 31 years old and have been working with children since I was a kid myself. I grew up in a wonderful suburban neighborhood in Maine where I was surrounded by great neighbors and lots of kids. We all watched over each other and took care of one another. I worked at the Sugarloaf Mountain Childcare for 6 winter seasons throughout high school and college. Those 6 years gave me crucial fundamental skills I needed in order to educate and care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I also babysat on the side for local families and new families who were on vacation. For 8 years I lived in NYC. I currently work as a sales manager for an all natural/organic food brokerage. During my time in NYC I have babysat for several different families of all ages, and babysat for 2 great kids for 7 years. I LOVE being outdoors, playing in the grass, getting dirty, snowboarding, riding bikes, swimming, music, eating & cooking healthy, and love, love, love animals! My CPR/First Aid certification has expired, but I'm willing to get certified again.

Hi, my name is Jennifer. I enjoy babysitting because I love working with children and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. I’m a patient, responsible, and caring person who enjoys playing games, doing crafts, and creating positive experiences for kids. I also understand the importance of keeping routines and providing reliable support for families. Babysitting allows me to make a difference by giving parents peace of mind while making sure their children are well cared for and happy.

I have extensive experience working with children and teenagers, from infancy through seventeen years, across a wide range of educational and care settings. As a Special Education Technician, I support students with diverse learning needs through individualized instruction, adaptive strategies, and encouragement. I have also served as a nursery school lead teacher, fostering early childhood development through play-based learning, social-emotional guidance, and consistent routines. As a middle school classroom teacher, I guided students through academic progress and the social development that defines this pivotal stage. In addition, I maintain a private studio as a piano and voice instructor, where I design lessons that emphasize both technical mastery and creative expression. Beyond the classroom, I have engaged with children in roles that combine mentorship, care, and leadership. As a youth group leader, I built meaningful connections with middle and high school students through activities, Sunday dinners, and informal gatherings. As a camp counselor, I supervised children ages five to twelve, ensuring their safety at the archery range, pool, and ropes course while also creating a spirited and supportive environment through music, chants, and games. I also worked as a live-in nanny for four children (ages 10, 13, 15, and 17), supporting them with academics, teaching life skills such as driving, and managing the dynamics of a busy household—an experience both challenging and rewarding. I hold bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music, having studied at The Juilliard School and Bard College. As a professional opera singer, I have performed internationally, experiences that shaped my discipline, creativity, and ability to communicate across cultures. While the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted my performing career, it opened the door to a deeper commitment to education and child development, where I now find tremendous fulfillment working with students of all ages. Outside of my professional work, I remain passionate about music, tennis, and lifelong learning. Tennis has been a favorite sport since childhood, and I continue to play regularly. I practice mindfulness and meditation and find balance through hiking and camping. Growing up in Maine gave me a strong connection to nature that I carry with me. I am also passionate about food and cooking and enjoy exploring the diversity of cuisines available today.
