Hello, my name is Kristen! Hi there! My name is Kristen, and I’m a college graduate with over 11 years of hands-on babysitting experience. I’ve cared for children of all ages—from infants to pre-teens—and truly love creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for kids to grow and explore. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of child development, communication, and patience, and I’m always happy to help with homework, crafts, outdoor play, and bedtime routines. I’m also comfortable with light meal prep, basic household tasks, and caring for pets if needed. Parents have often described me as reliable, responsible, and genuinely caring. Whether you need an occasional sitter or regular help, I’d love the chance to support your family! Fun fact: I am originally from California and spent a 6 of years volunteering at Millbrae Nursery School where I attended as a child in the Bay Area. I can't wait to meet your family!

Hi parents! I’ve been babysitting and nannying for 10 years and truly love what I do. I first started in college after connecting with local parents through my daycare position - and I’ve been lucky to build lasting relationships with many amazing families ever since. While I’m originally from New Jersey and have worked with families across my community there, I’ve recently moved to Manhattan and I’m excited to connect with new families here! Over the years, I’ve done everything from short-term babysitting and long-term nannying to being a go-to sitter for regular date nights. I have experience with kids of all ages, from infants to teens, and feel especially comfortable with bedtime routines, story time, and light dinner prep. I especially enjoy weekend sitting and date nights (my personal specialty!). I’m also happy to help with weekday evening coverage if parents need time to run errands or take a breather. I’m CPR certified and infant first-aid certified, and I have experience caring for children with allergies, including administering EpiPens. Lastly but certainly not least, I pride myself on being dependable and communicative - I always keep parents well informed about my availability. I know how important it is to have a reliable person watch over your little ones and will always do my best to avoid last minute cancellations. References available upon request - I’d love to get to know your family! AVAILABILITY UPDATE: I’ve recently been booked by a wonderful family for most weeknights and weekend days until 8 PM. Currently, my only set availability is Fridays after 3 PM. That said, I’m still happy to help with occasional date nights or one-off sitting opportunities if I happen to have a day off (feel free to reach out and check!). I’ll be sure to update my profile if my schedule changes. Thank you for your understanding!

Hello! I have 16+ years of experience with children of all ages in many capacities over the years. I have sat, cared for, cooked for and mentored children from infants/toddlers, ages 2mo to 6 years through school age. I have worked primarily with infants, pre-k, this past 5 years, helping with sleep training, feeding schedules and nap schedules, caring for babies and older siblings simultaneously. I love getting children engaged in outdoor activities, art, music, home crafts, cooking, baking and all other age appropriate games and activities. I prefer an afternoon walk in the park, museum, iceskating, creating art and listening to music vs. children siting home on an Ipad, watching TV. There is so much to discover! I love children and always happy to help when I am available! Please note: *I have a 5 hour minimum, rates are based on infants, number of children, weekday, weekend and nights. I am open to short term, temporary full time, full days, weekends, weekend nights Should your current caregiver need a holiday or you are traveling out of the country, visiting and need a hotel sit, I travel for SKI trips and vacations or long term temporary while you search for the perfect permanent caregiver. I have done all of the above and helped many parents while providing stellar childcare. I have run art programs for children in Wisconsin (YMCA after school art program) and California. I have worked for clients who have praised me for my work with children. An all around STAND IN, providing: reliable care, over nights, weekends and weekend nights while parents are out for an evening or out of town. Light cooking for the children, help with homework, bathing, reading, bedtime. Love hiking and the outdoors, available for weddings, outdoor activities and social hours, helping Mums and Dads when their plates are simply too full to do everything. I would love to work with you, I am flexible, reliable, patient, trustworthy, very responsible, energetic, caring, loving and kind. I would like to find a family that really appreciates really good child care and someone whom loves children and has a strong set of morals with gentle guidance, yet is fun and kind. Ideally, I would prefer to work a full day from early morning to early evening but if there are 5+ hours, I am flexible depending on my schedule and the rate.

Hi my name is Brandi, I have five years of experience working with children ranging from toddlers to 12 years old. As a person, I consider myself to be fun, creative, and energetic. My favorite aspect of working with children is teaching them how to grow into wonderful individuals while allowing them to be independent at the same time. I enjoy singing, jumping, painting, laughing at silly jokes, and many other activities. If permitted, I enjoy introducing children to other cultures. Additionally, I considered myself to be friendly, patient, calm, respectful, and alert. The care of children is of the utmost importance to me.

Hello Parents! Thank you for visiting my profile. 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. I am currently available for part time work, occasional care, one time jobs, overnight care, date nights, school vacations, and holidays. One of my passions is caring for children, and animals. I have over 10 years of babysitter/nanny experience with children of all ages. Although, I’m pursing a degree in animal science in the future, caring for children is something I’ll always continue to do. 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, 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. I wear masks at all times, and I carry hand sanitizer with me. 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.
