Harrison T., Nanny in Long Island City, NY 11101 with 10 years of paid experience

**ACTIVELY SEEKING GIGS SUMMER 2025** Hello! I'm Harrison. I’m actively looking for both recurring and intermittent gigs in July, August, and beyond. If you think I may be a good fit for your family, would love to connect! A little about me— I moved to Brooklyn ~3 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 earlier this year, I started providing care 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), cooking, soccer, swimming, and riding my bike long distances. I went to school for film, and I used to be a producer on a PBS show! 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!

Aaliyah B., Nanny in Long Island City, NY 11101 with 5 years of paid experience

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.

Hello there! My name is Aly, I'm 28 and originally from Chile :) My mom used to have her own Preeschool, which was very focused on the social, intellectual and artistic development of children which was a very interesting and rich environment to be raised in. I think this experience helps me now as an adult to understand the type of stimuli that children need to be happy, cared for and thriving. I've just finished being the nanny of a lovely 2 yo and currently looking for a ROTA nanny position but I'm also open to be a ocasional and/or weekend babysitter ( I have plenty of nanny/babysitter experience, feel free to reach out :) I'd be happy to help! I also adore animals and have plenty of experience as a pet sitter too. Other facts about me: I speak Spanish and english fluently and have worked as a medical interpreter My Portuguese and french are intermediate( Working towards full fluency, really love languages! I have a health coach certification, really passionate about nutrition and building healthy habits. I'm a dancer and would love to eventually teach. I have lived in Santiago, Paris, San Francisco and now New York!

Lauren P., Nanny in Long Island City, NY 11101 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.

Wendy R., Nanny in Long Island City, NY 11101 with 14 years of paid experience

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.

Jahyra M., Nanny in Long Island City, NY 11101 with 9 years of paid experience

I love being a sitter because it allows me to make a positive impact on children's lives while fostering their growth and creativity. Watching them explore the world, learn new things, and develop their personalities is incredibly rewarding. I find joy in creating fun, engaging activities that not only entertain but also support their development. In terms of experience, I’ve worked with children of various ages, from toddlers to preteens. I've supported families with daily routines, educational activities, and special needs, tailoring my approach to meet each child's unique needs. As for skills and training, I’m certified in CPR and first aid, which gives me peace of mind while caring for kids. I also have training in child development and positive discipline techniques. I’m always eager to learn more and stay updated on best practices in childcare. Building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families is a top priority for me!

*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.

Amanda N., Nanny in Long Island City, NY 11101 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello Parents! Thank you for visiting my profile. 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 for part time work, occasional care, one time jobs, overnight care, date nights, school vacations, and holidays. One of my passions is caring for children, and animals. I have over 10 years of babysitter/nanny experience with children of all ages. Although, I’m pursing a degree in animal science in the future, caring for children is something I’ll always continue to do. 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.
