Hello! My name is Lina and I am currently seeking a childcare position (30 hours/week, Monday–Thursday) starting September 2026. Before coming to the United States, I gained experience caring for babies and children in Colombia. Since then, for two years, I was an Au Pair with a family, taking care of their two girls (ages 2 and 6). I also spent a year caring for a 4-year-old girl, and most recently, I cared for a baby girl from the time she was 4 months old until she turned 1. I’m now looking for a new position because she is transitioning to daycare. As a full-time caregiver, I have handled everything related to the children in my care, including: following sleep schedules, nap and bedtimes, changing diapers and potty training, bottle and meal preparation, bathtime, and taking them to classes and scheduling playdates with other nannies. I have hands-on experience caring for infants and babies, and I truly love watching them grow, it’s one of the most rewarding parts of this work for me. I have additional experience working with various families as a babysitter, from infants to school-age kids. I am a patient, responsible, and trustworthy person who enjoys working with children, learning about them, and helping them grow. I pride myself on being committed to my work. I am reliable and dedicated to creating a nurturing, safe, and loving environment for the children I care for. I am also CPR certified and happy to provide references upon request. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to the opportunity to work with a new family starting in September!

Lina took care of our biggest treasure in the world for half a year, and, had our schedule not changed, we would have counted ourselves lucky to continue having her spend time with our now toddler. Lina is sweet, helpful, thoughtful, punctula, and incredibly attuned to the baby's needs; whether they are getting a clean diaper, a milk bottle at just the right temperature, or making sure conditions are just right for a nap. We never worried about miscommunications because she always asked for clarifications if something seemed unclear. Like other families have said, our baby loves her so much!!! Seeing Lina arrive makes our baby squeal with joy. We love her so much! Any child and family who have her in her life are assured a ray of sunshine even in the darkest of days. We are happy to talk to you if you have any questions about our experience with her.

Lina is amazing! This was our first time having her babysit, and the kids absolutely loved her. She is very patient and kind, and the kids felt comfortable with her right away. They got along with her so well that we had no issues sneaking out for a date night! We had a great experience and will definitely be calling her again!

Hello Parents! Thank you for visiting my profile. Note: I am currently available to provide childcare on Halloween, Indigenous Peoples Day, Veterans Day, and Christmas break My name is Amanda! I am a currently a freelance pet sitter, and babysitter of 10 plus years. As a New York Native I know how to navigate through the MTA system and the neighborhoods of each borough. I am CPR/First Aid Certified and a non-smoker. One of my passions is caring for children, and animals. I have over 10 years of babysitter/nanny experience with children of all ages. Caring for children is a passion I will continue for as long as I can. I love getting to know children, watching them grow, and supporting their important milestones. Along with my childcare experience, I have 10 years of experience working as a pet sitter. My dream is to open a pet care, and babysitting company. Why not both! I have been caring for children since the age of 12. I started babysitting my younger brother at a young age, as I grew older I transitioned into caring for my younger cousins, and working as a babysitter/nanny. In addition, I have experience caring for children with ADHD, Autism, ADD, & Anxiety. Since 2019, I have worked with Camp Shiloh as a Counselor in Training, Mentor, and Volunteer. I was also a Camper there for several years as a kid, and it’s one of my the few places I call home. A fun fact about me, I love Harry Potter, and comic books. Some of the fun things I love to do with children are making art, building blocks, engaging in activities around the city, read books, dancing, baking, playing board games, going to parks, playing sports, playing with toys & more. In my free time I like to swim, skateboard, listen to music, learn new things, write, and ground myself in nature. Children love me as their babysitter because I’m empathetic, open minded, committed, and pretty funny. Your child’s safety is my upmost importance, and of course having fun. References can be provided. Note: I am aware I have a two star review, if you would like to know more about why that review is on my page I am more than happy to explain the situation. Unfortunately, the parent never had the chance to meet nor interview me.

Amanda is an excellent pet sitter, possibly the best I have encountered. She was quick in her responses and put my mind at ease throughout the process with notifications of when she arrived and left my home. My cat seemed very happy in her care and they got along well. I would definitely use Amanda's services again and recommend her to friends. I also appreciated the pics and videos to see how Scout was doing in my absence!

My name is Jenny, and there are 2 things I love in this world the most - children and music! I am an opera singer, mom and music teacher, and have over 25 years of babysitting and nannying experience. I started babysitting when I was 13 years old for neighborhood families, and then supported myself through college and graduate school with part time nanny positions. I also teach young kids to sing and play the piano. I am very responsible, caring and encouraging. I've raised 3 babies of my own who are school age now, and I have more free time. I'd love to be a part of your family's life!

Jenny has been babysitting for my son for about a year. He is now 6 1/2 years old. We love Jenny! He is now also taking piano lessons from here. He is watching me type this and says "I love having piano lessons with her. We love her!" I highly recommend her. She also dog sits for us.

I’m an experienced childcare professional who has babysat for many families over the years, caring for children from newborns and infants through school age. Because I’ve worked with so many different families and age groups, I’m comfortable stepping into a new household, learning a family’s routines and expectations, and building rapport with children quickly. I previously worked for a babysitting agency providing childcare for families both in their homes and at hotels. This gave me experience working with families I was often meeting for the first time and helped me become very adaptable and confident helping children feel comfortable with a new caregiver. I understand that parents may be leaving their child with someone new, so I make communication, safety, and helping both the child and parents feel at ease a priority. Many of my babysitting relationships have also developed naturally through my professional childcare positions. While working as an after-school educator and coach, several families whose children I worked with began hiring me privately for babysitting. The same happened while I worked at an infant center caring for babies ages 6 weeks to 15 months. I really value that families who saw how I interacted with and cared for their children trusted me to continue caring for them outside of those settings. My broader childcare experience includes working as a full-time nanny, infant teacher, baby nurse at a postpartum resort, ABA therapist, special needs camp counselor, and after-school educator and coach. This has given me experience with everything from feeding, bottles, diapering, soothing, naps, and bedtime routines to play, homework help, outings, and caring for multiple children. I am also EMT certified and previously served for six years as a medic in the U.S. Army. My medical background has provided extensive training in first aid, emergency response, and safety. I’m warm, patient, dependable, and very hands-on with children. One of my strengths is being able to build rapport quickly, which is especially important when babysitting children who may not know me yet. I want children to feel safe and comfortable with me while also having fun, whether we’re playing, reading, doing an activity, or simply following their normal evening routine.

Hi, I’m Adama! I’m a full-time finance student and CPR & First Aid certified, currently seeking part-time or occasional babysitting (evenings, weekends, date nights, or short shifts). I have 3–4 years of childcare experience, including caring for children in both home and program settings. I previously worked as a youth mentor with So Shell Butterflies (HANAC) and provided care for a family with three children ages 3–12. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive, and I enjoy keeping children engaged through play, homework help, and outdoor activities. I adapt easily to each family’s routines and prioritize creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I’m best suited for families looking for a responsible, dependable sitter rather than full-time childcare. I look forward to supporting families who need flexible, quality care.

Edit I am an upbeat, interactive, articulate, attentive, fun, and very nurturing woman who has over 10 years experience working as a nanny. I have also been employed as a Hatha Yoga instructor to 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th graders as part of an experimental remedial reading/writing art program. I genuinely enjoy engaging a child in safe, fun and creative play and learning via reading, singing and dancing, athletics, visiting libraries and museums, running around parks and playgrounds, crafts, stimulating games and puzzles that encourage mental & physical development, teaching baby sign language or fostering verbal skills through imaginary play & dress-up, yoga, and just lots of sweet, affectionate and cuddly time spent together. Sharing time and energy in the delightful and stimulating company of a child, as I create a supportive , positive, healthy and happy environment in which to laugh & learn, is my idea of a workday well spent! In many of the letters of recommendation included with my resume, are parents' descriptions of me as a very attentive, patient, athletic, articulate, affectionate and very positive influence in a child's life. Having cared for numerous challenging children with special needs, I am quite able to be firm, yet loving as boundaries are set and maintained in a fun, happy and respectful manner. While working as a Hatha Yoga instructor to NYC's P. S. 124 & 126's 1st, 2nd, 4th & 5th graders as part of an experimental remedial reading/writing art program, I developed my natural skills of being not only creative and firm, but patient, attentive, sensitive, athletic, articulate and very health/safety-conscious when it comes to the excellent and special care I enjoy giving to children. Their delightful and stimulating company, no matter what age, has always been an education and enlightenment for me over the 10 yr. nanny career I've worked in NYC. What a way to make a living! Engaging and exchanging time and energies with little ones {my experience is with 6 weeks. - 11 yrs. old } is so rewarding as I get to have my own life enriched and enhanced by their extraordinary curiosities, affections and rapid growth as I teach and model for them a strong, positive, cultured, healthy, self-confident, well-spoken, kind, engaged, artistic and creatively-adventurous woman. I have cared for children from Harlem to the Hamptons, and loved it all! 3-4 full days is my preference, but other schedules definitely considered

Hi, my name is Taina and I’m an NYU Tandon School of Engineering 2020 graduate in Biomolecular Science. I’m a pre-med school student studying to become a doctor and biomedical engineer. I have 10+ years of experience with babysitting/tutoring, being from Queens, N.Y. I was always babysitting/tutoring young boys and girls as young as newborns all the way up to the age of 15. I love children and being a babysitter allows me to form a connection with kids and gives me a good sense of what it means to be a caretaker and provider for my future profession in the medical career. I hope to one day become a pediatrician and serve the coming generations of our future. I’m also a Licensed Emergency Medical Technician and I’m extremely knowledgeable in my field. I’m very patient and responsible and have a true passion for working with kids. If you have any additional questions for me I’m always happy to answer them. My hourly rate is also negotiable based on family size and responsibilities. Thank you so much and have an amazing day!

🌿 About Me I am originally from the beautiful island of St. Lucia and love returning whenever I can. Being outdoors is one of my greatest joys—I enjoy gardening, planting, and making the most of fresh air. 👩👧 Family & Background I’m a proud parent of two children who graduated from Rutgers University (New Brunswick). My passion for creativity inspired me to pursue studies in Child Development at Penn Foster, though I had to defer my certification for personal reasons. 🎨 Childcare Approach As a childcare provider, I enjoy sharing my love of nature, creativity, and art with children. I believe in creating a fun, enriching environment where kids can learn, explore, and grow. 🍼 Experience Since 2021, I have worked as a nanny for three families, caring for children ranging in age from 5 months to 5 years old. Most recently, in 2025, I cared for a 5‑month‑old, providing attentive supervision, preparing light snacks, and assisting with light housekeeping. These experiences have strengthened my ability to adapt to different family needs while ensuring children feel safe, loved, and engaged. I look forward to meeting your family and providing reliable, caring support for your little ones!
