Hi, my name is Kiara but I go by Kiwi! I'm a native New Yorker from Brooklyn and I have over 4 years of childcare experience. I worked at a daycare in Queens (Future Sunshine Daycare) part-time, and went full-time after about 6 months as the owner is also a foster mother and needed help with her 3 foster children. I started living-in 4 days a week for about a year while still working for the daycare, thus caring for 8 kids (2 infants aged 4-6 months, 1 toddler aged 3 and 5 older children aged 6-9) along with 2 other alternating workers. I worked there for 2 years alternating between part-time and full-time after the foster children moved on. This passing summer I worked as a camp counselor at a summer camp in Plymouth, Vermont. I worked there throughout the whole summer as a camp counselor monitoring kids ages 4-11. Since then I've been babysitting for different families and providing occasional coverage for workers at the daycare. I am CPR and AED certified for both adults and children, my red cross certification ID is 10VNC1Q.

Kiara (aka “Kiwi”) is wonderful! She's been helping with my son's afterschool care and has been incredibly reliable. Our toddler absolutely loves her. She brings creative activities, keeps him engaged, and brings such a positive energy into our home. We’re so grateful to have found her and couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Hi Parents, My name is Djane. I have experience caring for both infants and toddlers, and I truly enjoy supporting children’s growth and development in a safe, loving, and engaging environment. I’m responsible, organized, patient, and easygoing. I bring a positive and energetic attitude to my work, and I value creating a calm, nurturing space where children feel comfortable, secure, and happy. Being around kids genuinely brings me joy. I love planning fun and age-appropriate activities, spending time outdoors, going to the park, and encouraging curiosity through play and exploration. I’m also very comfortable with pets and have no restrictions or allergies. I’m looking for a family where I can build a strong, trusting relationship and become a reliable and supportive presence in your daily routine.

Djane was a fantastic nanny and babysitter for our daughter (3.5yo) and son (1yo). She is incredibly responsible, organized, and our kids absolutely loved spending time with her. She did fun things with them (library, crafts, park - and taught our daughter to swing on her own!) and was considerate about details such as packing lunch, healthy snacks, etc. We were so fortunate to work with her, and we always felt that our kids were in incredibly safe hands. We still stay in touch with her and would highly recommend.

Hi everyone, I'm Arlene a capable , responsible , fun , caring, loving nanny and I'm also a trained new born care specialist, I'm certified with over 16 years experience as a nanny as well . I'm trained in circumcision care, umbilical cord care ,getting babies on schedule and helping new parents transition into this new adventure in their lives. As a nanny I've grown to understand that every family and situation is different so I pride myself in learning new ways to bring stability and joy to each family I work with . Growing up I was the eldest in our home and therefore was left at times to to care of my younger siblings . I'm fun to have around , your children will be happy to have me as their nanny.I love children and enjoy their company immensely and find nothing is more rewarding than taking care of them especially babies is rewarding but sometimes challenging. Over the years, I have developed special techniques that prove useful in calming young babies, including the most restless ones. I am in favor of a structured day as it gives children an opportunity to follow a schedule, I believe in creating a positive, happy environment for children, one in which they feel protected and can thrive. I have good organizational and communication skills, which I believe are among the most important skills for a nanny. All my employers have been happy with my work and have often complemented me on my expertise in taking care of young children.I'm certified in CPR and First Aid as well and l have since then kept my certifications up to date .I believe such knowledge is important for a nanny and can be a life saver in case of an injury or accident.l have references available upon request , likewise a background check. I know I can be an asset to your family if you decide to allow me to be a part of it .

Arlene is knowledgable, reliable, trustworthy and above all, a nurturing caregiver to our son. She has provided us and our four month old with quality care and is deserving of a five star review! In addition to her knowledge and experience she has a very kind disposition and a strong work ethic. Arlene arrives at work on time and has accommodated us on several occasions by changing her schedule to help us. Arlene is extremely attentive and has a wonderful way with children. Arlene communicates well with us and sends updates and pictures during the day to keep us informed. We have made the right choice by inviting Arlene into our home and our family.

Experienced, reliable babysitter and nanny available to help your family part-time Hello, dear families! My name is Maria, and I am a dedicated nanny with a decade and a half of professional experience in child care, alongside the personal experience of raising a wonderful daughter of my own. My journey with children has not only been a job but a passion that has grown with every year I’ve spent nurturing young minds. I am currently seeking a part-time position and am available to bring my caring nature and expertise to your home on Monday to Friday 6 to 8:30 a.m. and evenings Monday to Thursday 4:30 to 7 p.m. Weekends also available .My schedule is crafted to align with the academic calendar, as I’ve been with a wonderful family for a decade and continue to work with them. However, now that the children are in school, I have additional hours and an abundance of care to extend to another fantastic family. My approach is always thoughtful and centered around the unique needs of each child I look after. I pride myself on being reliable—a trait that has been paramount in maintaining a decade-long relationship with a single family—and hardworking, always willing to go that extra mile to ensure a stable, positive environment for the children in my care. My experience spans caring for children of all ages, from the delightful curiosity of toddlers to the fascinating thoughts of teenagers. I deeply understand the varying needs at different developmental stages, and I’m adept at engaging children in a mix of educational and recreational activities. I can cook, drive, do laundry, run errands – anything you need, no task too big or small. I am looking forward to the opportunity to care for your children, providing them not just with supervision, but with a nurturing, fun environment where they can thrive, learn, and feel at ease.

Maria is one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. She has been with my family for about a year and a half now. She gets my kids off the bus at around 3 and watches them until I get home (4-5 days/week), generally around 7. She is more than willing to help you out, with whatever you need. When asked to do something in particular, her pat answer is "no problem". She is a a great driver and VERY responsible. She has not once left me shorthanded and has helped me out on NUMEROUS occasions when I was in a jam. For example, she even slept over when night when my husband and I went away! Her help around the house, wonderful can do attitude, responsibility, and understanding of children is a home run. My kids are getting older so I do not need help with the kids as much as I did. Maria is a treasure and I have come to think of her as a good friend. I am going to miss all of her help! If you are unsure, give her a chance - you will not be sorry.

Hello 👋 My name is Lillian I have provided child care and taught preschool for children ages newborn to school age for 25+ years. I'm currently a former full time nanny with a loving family and children, whom I love dearly, their are ages 6 1/2 and 3 1/2. I started with them full time in April, 2023, and unfortunately they are both starting school full time this fall. I will not be needed full time, as they would like to me to stay on part-time. That schedule would not work for me, unless I can find a part time position to fill in the gap. I hold two degrees, a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and an Associates in Massage Therapy. I'm a very hardworking, fun, energetic individual, who loves music, and playing as if I'm a tourist in NYC, even though I was born here. 🤣🤣 If you are in need of a full-time or part time nanny, and are interested in getting to know more about my nanny background, please DM me. Thank you so much Resume and references are provided if needed.

Hello! My name is Elisabeth! I am 24, and I have been babysitting for 10 years! As a full-time teacher, working with children is something I find joy in! I enjoy babysitting because it allows my parents to go out or run that errand with the assurance that their child/children are being well cared for. For us (The child/children and I), it's a time to explore, play games, sing songs, dance, or bake! As mentioned before, I work during the day as a full-time teacher's assistant and evenings. and weekends as a babysitter. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have my code ANA certification, mandated reporter, and Foundations in Health and Safety. I also have my driver's license!
