**ACTIVELY SEEKING GIGS - FALL 2025** HEY! I'm Harrison. I’m actively looking for gigs in the Fall and beyond. I work with a family regularly in the afterschool hours M-Th, but I’m wide open Friday-Sunday and weekday daytime + evenings. I’m up for logistic-satisfying hangs, orchestrating grand adventures, date night coverage, and more. If you think I may be a good fit for your family, would love to connect! A little about me— I moved to Brooklyn ~4 years ago to manage a giant rock climbing gym. I've worked with kids a ton in climbing gyms over the last 10 years, from running summer camps to making birthday parties awesome. After leaving my role last year, I transitioned to sitting/nannying in an attempt to reclaim joy in my work life-- and it's been a blast so far. I like climbing, games (video, board, word, active, other), telling riddles + jokes (ask me about street sweepers!) building things, cooking, soccer, swimming, and riding my bike excessive distances. I went to school for film, and I used to be a producer on a PBS show-- I still love filming/editing fun videos with the kids I sit for (*movie magic*)! I'm CPR / first aid certified and generally skilled at balancing fun and safety in childcare settings. I'm a skilled driver, though I do not currently own a car. Beyond just sitting, I'm happy to support with: -homework help! I used to student teach / tutor English back in high school, and I am generally math-proficient. -meal prep! I chef 95% of my apartmenthold's meals right now, and I love to cook. -climbing! Wanna learn the ropes or just give it a try? I'm your guy. -pet care! I live with 3 cats (1 mine, 2 my girlfriend’s) and I care for dogs of friends & clients regularly. Hope to hear from you!

*Seeking after-school job, or two to three long days in Park Slope in September with FUN family! Hello everyone, I’m looking for an after school job, or two to three long days in Park Slope with an organized, fun, thoughtful family for the school year. I would need 20 hours minimum, and would be available for date nights as well. Park Slope is next to where I live, as I live in Sunset Park next to Green-Wood. This is key if you have last minute needs outside of normal working hours. 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 two 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 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, But most of all, I’m genuinely happy, and see the good in everyone. I create life long loving bonds with the children I care for and their parents, and children feel safe and secure talking to me about things that may be bothering them. I’ve had many parents over the years ask if perhaps I might speak to their child to find out what’s going on, it’s my forte! I also handle any behavior with understanding and redirecting in a positive way, because they are after all, still learning. I adore dogs as well, and am happy to take them for walks as well! Thanks for reading, and here’s hoping everyone finds their very own Mary Poppins! Monique F.

Lauren P., Nanny in Far Rockaway, NY 11691 with 18 years of paid experience

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.

Hello! My name is Lina and I am currently seeking a childcare position (35-40 hours/week) starting mid-October or November. For the past two years, I have been an Au Pair, with an amazing family and taking care of their two wonderful girls. As my program comes to an end, I will be focusing on my studies during the evenings and I’m looking for a new family to help during the day. As a full-time caregiver with my current family I took care of everything related to both girls, a role that evolved in time: I have experience following sleep schedules, nap and bedtimes, changing diapers and potty training, Bottle and meal preparation, meal schedules, bathtime and taking them to classes and scheduling playdates with other nannies. I also enjoy cooking, and I’m able to prepare nutritious and balanced meals for the kids if needed. I have additional experience with various families taking care of children of all ages. I am a patient, responsible, and trustworthy person who enjoys working with children, learning about them and helping them grow. I pride myself on being committed to my work, I am punctual and reliable, creating a nurturing and safe environment for the children. I am also CPR certified and I am happy to provide references as needed. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to the opportunity to work with a new family!

For many years I have worked with childrens of different ages, different backgrounds and some with exceptionalities such as ADHD and Autism. I love to cook healthy meals according to their preferences, playing their games, understanding and supporting their personal worlds. I am a team player. I like to collaborate with the family as needed and I am flexible in terms of schedule and tasks. Running errands, scheduling playdates, going to doctors appointments are some of the responsibilities I have carrie out. I love pets and encouraging children to love them and be good caretakers. Punctuality and reliability are very important so I like to prepare ahead of time, plan accordingly so there is smooth sailing all around. I love sports so playing with the children sports and encouraging a lot of physical activity is always on my mind. I have been a teacher so academically I can support children and understand what they need to meet their teacher's expectations and do well in school. Meeting the family's needs and expectations are my top priority.
