Hello! With over 16 years of professional childcare experience, I specialize as an Infant Care Specialist, supporting families through the important early stages of their child's development. My expertise includes infant care, healthy sleep foundations, feeding support, developmental milestones, establishing consistent routines, and creating customized schedules that help both infants and parents thrive. I have extensive experience working with both domestic and international families, providing discreet, professional, and personalized care. I am comfortable supporting dynamic household environments, maintaining confidentiality, collaborating with household staff, and adapting to each family's unique parenting style and lifestyle needs. In addition to infant care, I have significant experience caring for multiple children of varying ages. I excel at creating structure within busy households while ensuring each child receives individualized attention and developmentally appropriate support. My approach is warm, hands-on, and engaging. I encourage learning through play, creativity, outdoor exploration, music, art, cooking activities, and educational outings that foster confidence, curiosity, and independence. Throughout my career, I have accompanied families on domestic and international travel, ski holidays, weddings, hotel stays, seasonal relocations, and extended vacations. Whether providing overnight support, temporary full-time coverage, travel assistance, or short-term care while families search for a permanent caregiver, I offer flexible, reliable support tailored to each family's needs. My background includes leading children's art and theatre programs through YMCA programs in California and Wisconsin. Families consistently describe me as calm, dependable, adaptable, and genuinely invested in their children's well-being and development. I am also happy to assist with children's meal preparation, maintaining routines, bedtime support, and organizing children's spaces. Please note that I have a 5-hour booking minimum. Rates vary based on the age and number of children, scheduling requirements, evenings, overnights, and travel. If you are seeking an experienced Infant Care Specialist who brings warmth, expertise, discretion, and structure to your family, I would be delighted to connect with you.

Laylah was a phenomenal find for us, a true NYC Mary Poppins experience. Kind, flexible, incredibly trustworthy with a generous spirit, she took our son on an adventure (“best day ever”) while we cared for a loved one at a local hospital with a child-free policy. We were in a bind and she more than saved the day, she made his day. SO happy to have found her and would enthusiastically recommend.

Hello! I am looking for a full time position as I transition from working for the Department of Education. I am enrolled in remote classes at The City College of New York, working on my Bilingual Childhood Education BA. I have a very friendly, welcoming, and nurturing personality. I am an older sister, we have an 9 year gap which, of course, deemed me her personal (un)official babysitter. I also have both professional and personal experience with infants. I also lived with a close family and was closely involved in caring for her twin infants during their first 18 months, supporting and implementing routines and development. I am comfortable and connect with all ages. I love parks, museums, and anything outdoors! I am open to answer any questions so we can get to know each other further.

Yamelis has been an exceptional nanny for our infant, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. From day one, she has shown genuine warmth, patience, and attentiveness. She is highly reliable, always punctual, and communicates clearly about our baby’s day, including feedings, naps, and milestones. Yamelis creates a calm, nurturing environment that makes our child feel safe and happy. She is knowledgeable about infant development and engages our baby with age-appropriate activities that encourage growth and curiosity. We fully trust her judgment and care. Any family would be lucky to have Yamelis as their nanny.

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. I am currently available to provide care on school holidays, school breaks, weekends, and weekday evenings after 7 pm. 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, 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.

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!

Djane worked full time for us watching our 1 year old son. She was very caring and listened to what our family needed and integrated into his routine smoothly. She took him out, made playdates, and kept our house organized by putting things away and cleaning up during naptime. I'd highly recommend her.

Being a mom myself (7&16) , i also have the personal experience and know the importance of child safety , and happiness. I am bilingual as I speak both fluent English and Spanish. Would love to teach your little one some Spanish if wanted! I was sitting for a family but they moved away and I have been looking for a new place that I can help keep bellies full and laughter roaring while learning along the way!

I wish I would have found her sooner! It was a pleasure having her as part as the family. Kids loved her. She even kept the house clean , made the girls dinner and took them on walking adventures. We moved to a different state or else we would still have her. Do not hesitate to add on this great addition to your family.

Hello, I’ve been babysitting children between the ages 2-13 for 5 years. I am currently an occasional babysitter for three families. I work at an afterschool program at an elementary school where I help with homework and overall just have fun with the children. Working at the after school program taught me how to handle lots of children at one time and patience. I have been a combat medic in the Army National Guard for three years and I’m a certified EMT. I’ve always loved children, working with them has taught me that they aren’t just tiny adults but they’re unique and I’m fully aware of that distinction. Being a biology major at DePaul University, I have always been interested in the medical field. It wasn’t until I worked at a summer camp for special needs children that I decided that I wanted to do medical research on those children, to improve their quality of life. I haven’t narrowed down my specific focus but all I know is that I want to help children.

Hi I’m Molly! I’m a comic book artist, looking for extra work! I absolutely adore children, and believe there’s nothing more fulfilling than helping families. I have previous nannying experience in college. I nannied for a 2-year-old boy and 5-year-girl. I also have my very own 5-year-old sister, so I’ve seen every meltdown, every smelly diaper, and every crazy situation you can imagine! I have additional mental healthy training from my experience as a peer mentor at Montclair State University (however, those were very big kids!!) As an artist, I have a very active imagination so we can definitely play pretend, make cookies (not to brag, but my fiancé thinks I make the best chocolate chip cookies), or do whatever the kiddos want—within reason of course, haha!

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.
