Sittercity helps Breezy Point families find the best nannies

*Available for bookings, on call, last minute, and temp jobs, for Summer, June-August Hello everyone, I’m looking to have flexibility for the summer months on call, and am available to help on days I’m not already booked! I’ve recently done several on call jobs filling in for families with last minute needs from this site, and also from word of mouth in the Park Slope community, where I’ve worked happily for several years. I grew up on the UWS in Manhattan and in my formative years, went to Walden school, now known as Trevor Day. I’m always punctual, have an unparalleled joy for life, 24 years of experience, and excellent references! In fact they’d all love to speak with you on my behalf, including my 2 recent families I’ve worked for in Park Slope a sweet baby in the morning, and 2 primary school children afterschool for the last 3 years. I still see them on occasion for weekend or date nights. I currently live in Sunset Park next to Green-Wood, by 36th St Subway station & D, N, R trains. I have many years experience with babies, toddlers, and grade school children as well. I’ve also cared for several sets of twins! I love listening, teaching, and explaining things. I'm also a (fun & effective) reading and spelling teacher/tutor for children 3-6, I'm well traveled, (mostly all Europe) speak Italian, went to Fiorello LaGuardia as an art major, am a singer, mostly 1930’s-1940’s jazz, Ella Fitzgerald’s “I Can’t Give You Anything but Love Baby” is a favorite of the many babies & toddlers I’ve cared for over the years. I also adore dogs and am happy to take them for walks as well! Thanks for reading! Monique F.

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 there! I'm Aaliyah, an energetic, deeply compassionate, and experienced babysitter/nanny based in NYC, currently studying Applied Psychology at NYU with a completed minor in Child Development and Social Intervention. My heart is especially drawn to overnight care for infants, children ages 4+, and those with special needs including those with mental health challenges. I bring a blend of professional training, hands on experience, and a nurturing spirit to every family I work with. Over the years, I've supported children (teens and adults) of all abilities and temperaments from infants just 3 weeks old to energetic, curious 8 month olds navigating their milestones. One of the little ones I've cared for, A, started having sleep regressions around 4 months. I worked closely with his parents to develop a gentle nighttime routine that helped him sleep more soundly and gave his family the rest they needed. I've also supported neurodivergent children (teens and adults) and those with physical or emotional challenges. J, a spirited 7 year old with autism and ADHD, has difficulty with emotional regulation, often expressing himself through hitting, kicking, and screaming. Through consistent routines, co-regulation strategies, safe body practice, and lots of patience, I helped him develop healthier coping skills, build positive relationships, and even learn to love doing homework! We play to teach life lessons and talk through tough feelings, which empowered him and created space for growth. My experience includes caring for children, teens, and adults with: Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Dementia, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Depression and Anxiety, Harmful tendencies/self-injury, Physical disabilities including wheelchair users and those who are legally blind. Whether it's helping a baby sleep through the night, supporting a child (as well as teenagers and adults) in crisis, or simply showing up with love and consistency, I always lead with empathy and a trauma informed approach. I value open communication with families and believe every child deserves to feel seen, safe, and supported. If you're looking for a reliable, trained (basic life support certification), and deeply devoted overnight caregiver who will treat your child with respect and warmth especially overnight. I'd love to connect! If you search my full name Aaliyah Burkett on care.com you are able to see my reviews as I am new to Sittercity. I’m also happy to provide references.

With a background as an art and music teacher, preschool and toddler educator, nanny, and literacy instructor, I bring over a decade of experience supporting young children’s growth in creative, nurturing environments. I am deeply passionate about helping children reach key emotional, social, and developmental milestones through engaging, play-based learning and consistent, patient care. My approach is rooted in kindness, attentiveness, and adaptability—qualities that allow me to work smoothly with families and meet each child where they are. Whether we’re painting, reading stories, making music, or exploring nature, I love incorporating creativity into daily routines to keep kids curious, entertained, and learning. I value strong communication and always strive to create a warm, collaborative relationship with parents and caregivers.

I have experience caring for newborns and toddlers. I love children and have excellent references. I'm bilingual (English/Spanish). I enjoy taking kids on outings, speaking to them in Spanish and teaching them how to read and write in Spanish as well.

I took a circuitous route to childcare, originally pursuing an interest in end of life care. However while taking core classes at the Graduate School of Social Work, I discovered an affinity and aptitude for Children, Youth, and Family case work. I adore every stage of child development and every child's unique journey of growth and discovery

Hello wonderful family, My name is Joelle, and I am an seasoned babysitter and early-childhood educator of 7+ years. With my diverse work experiences as a babysitter, lead pre-k teacher, nanny and more I can certainly attest to the popular phrase - "actions speak louder than words" ! I strive to teach this to children of all ages in my care through mindful play that encourages language development and self-expression. Growing up in a large African-American and Filipino-American family has taught me to be highly family-oriented and hard-working. My upbringing has also helped me instill a passion for learning about different cultures, languages and religions. I am currently a beginner Spanish speaker with hopes to use the language more often on my travels and at work. One of my fondest moments as an educator was watching one of my 3 year-old students, Sitora, describe her drawing of a butterfly to me with her hands. She made the shape of a butterfly with her two palms together, and fluttered her fingers to me when I could not understand what was in her drawing during class. I was completely blown away in that moment! In addition to my experiences working at daycare centers and preschools, I have been entrusted to the children of my family members, as well as the children of family friends and referrals since the age of 16. I especially enjoy helping little ones express themselves through art and dance, and preparing nutritious meals for them whenever needed. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I look forward to learning more about your children’s needs and working with your family to help them grow! Best Regards, Joelle Middleton Early Childhood Educator (929)595-0132

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.
