Hi! I've been a nanny and babysitter for over 14 years, caring for children from just a few weeks old up to age 12. What started as helping out a co-worker occasionally has grown into something I've done alongside my professional life for over a decade-and I genuinely love it. Most recently, I spent 7 years with one Brooklyn family, caring for their son from age 5 through 12. I've also worked with babies, toddlers, and sibling combos, including kids with autism and mood-related challenges. I'm confident juggling different needs, ages, and personalities-whether that's helping a toddler through potty training or guiding a 10-year-old through homework frustration. I'm comfortable with: -Infants, toddlers, and older children (including multiples) -Special needs (including mild autism and mood disorders) -Doctor visits -Daytime outings, pickups/drop-offs -Cooking, light cleaning, bedtime, bath time, homework help -Pet-friendly homes (I love animals!) I freelance & work remotely in sales and marketing, which gives me a flexible schedule. Whether you need regular care or backup support, my goal is to make your life easier and help your child feel safe, supported, and seen. Please note: Multiple children and/or combined pet care and other duties influence rate. Minimum & Cancellation Policy:
 • 3 hour shift minimum unless otherwise discussed

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.

Hello, my name is Lisa! I have worked as a career nanny in NYC for nearly 10 years and have been babysitting for over 20. My academic background is in Ancient Greek and Roman history and language, and some of my personal passions are drawing, film, travel, gallery exhibits, and live music. I am currently looking for summer jobs with school-aged children, including camp pickups, activity shuffling, or just having fun. I am also available to provide backup care in the event that your typical childcare is unavailable. I place an enormous emphasis on safety, both in the home and in public. I am seasoned and confident navigating the city with a child, whether by subway, walking, or taxi, I am skilled at implementing existing routines as well as developing new. I am sharp, energetic, motivated, friendly, and affectionate. I enjoy spending time with kids going for walks and adventures, hanging out at the playground, reading books, doing art projects, working puzzles, and playing games. I am always up for a dance party or imaginative play. I genuinely have a blast with kids, learning about their interests and hearing their anecdotes. I am happy to help with summer homework if needed and am a capable cook with the right supplies and clear expectations. I am a team player and seek to accommodate the morals, attitudes, and values that are most important to the parents to have instilled in their children. I aim to be a true asset to any family that employs me. I am punctual, honest, respectful, and professional; I follow instruction well and take gentle criticism with ease. I have wonderful references and a formal resume, and I hope that you will consider me for your family’s new sitter! Please note: I am currently not offering toddler care due to a disc injury.

Its been a long pandemic, I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I am your weekend backup to help you reset after a long week of being a superhero aka parent. I began working with children at the age of 15. I was a Counselor in Training at a sleep away camp. The following two years I worked as a Camp Counselor at the same camp. I began babysitting at the age of 18. I have worked with multiple families with multiple children. I currently work at a Dance Studio as the manager and instructor. The Dance Studio mostly caters to children between the ages of 2 through 14. I am currently certified in First Aid/CPR/AED for both Adult and Pediatric. My experience makes me qualified but my personality is why I have such a great relationship with the kids. Babysitting has always been fun for me. Children are true little sponges that soak up everything. The things they say or do always manage to make my day brighter. Being younger allows me to truly enjoy my time with families. I love to go outside with kids play a little soccer, baseball, or basketball. Kids always love that I can teach them some dance moves. Although usually most kids just prefer me to read to them. I try to give every character in a book their own voice. I haven't had a bad experience sitting. The occasional meltdown is expected and I'm prepared to handle whatever is thrown mine way. References, a resume and a professional background check are available upon request.

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.

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 have additional experience working with various families as a babysitter, from infants to school-age kids.

With 9 years of childcare experience: I am an energetic, creative, and dependable sitter who loves helping children feel comfortable, supported, and excited to explore the world around them. My approach to childcare is deeply rooted in family and community. As one of the oldest members of my family’s younger generation, I naturally grew into a role centered around care, responsibility, and making younger children feel safe and comfortable. Those experiences raised me to be adaptable, attentive to individual needs, and comfortable with all kinds of personalities. For nearly a decade, childcare has been one of my primary sources of work and has given me experience caring for children across a wide range of ages. I’m comfortable supporting the full rhythm of a family’s day, including school and activity pick-ups/drop-offs, errands, meal preparation, diaper changes, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping related to the children. I’m also CPR and First Aid certified. I do not have my own car, but do have a driver’s license if needed. I also bring an academic and professional background in advocacy and research. I hold a B.S. in Political Science with a minor in Ethics and completed two years of law school. After completing two years, I realized it was best to ground my advocacy within the realm of childcare responsibilities. When I’m not caring for kids, I am applying my legal training through independent research -- holding a strong focus of community advocacy. Ultimately, I love that childcare provides the opportunity to combine my creativity, sense of responsibility, and passion for working with children in a meaningful way. Feel free to contact me for references or to set up a call! I’d love the opportunity to learn more about your family and how I can support your childcare needs. I’m excited to bring my passion and positive attitude to families in New York.

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 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.
