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.

Djane was a fantastic nanny and babysitter for our daughter (3.5yo) and son (1yo). She is incredibly responsible, organized, and our kids absolutely loved spending time with her. She did fun things with them (library, crafts, park - and taught our daughter to swing on her own!) and was considerate about details such as packing lunch, healthy snacks, etc. We were so fortunate to work with her, and we always felt that our kids were in incredibly safe hands. We still stay in touch with her and would highly recommend.

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.

Lauren helped us out babysitting last minute when we were visiting NYC and was AMAZING! She was easy to communicate with, understanding, and most importantly, wonderful with our child. We would hire her again in a heartbeat.

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.

Kiara (aka “Kiwi”) is wonderful! She's been helping with my son's afterschool care and has been incredibly reliable. Our toddler absolutely loves her. She brings creative activities, keeps him engaged, and brings such a positive energy into our home. We’re so grateful to have found her and couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Hello! I am a Brooklyn-based professional nanny, governess, and educator with extensive experience caring for children from infancy through the school years. I hold a master’s degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Child Development and am CPR / First Aid certified. I have experience with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children and am comfortable with meals and snacks, naps, diapering, bedtime, homework, outings, play, and routines. I especially enjoy reading, music, art, imaginative play, outdoor activities, and creating an environment where children feel safe, engaged, and genuinely enjoyed. I am warm, calm, dependable, highly organized, and comfortable stepping into a family’s routine with minimal direction. I am proficient in French, conversational in Japanese, a pianist, and have a valid driver’s license. I recently relocated to Brooklyn and am available for recurring and occasional babysitting. I am supported by verified five-star Sittercity reviews and would be happy to learn more about your family.

Laura watched our 2 year old son last minute on NYE as we attended a wedding. I felt very comfortable with her and she kept me updated throughout the evening. She was great with him and I definitely recommend!
Lisa W.

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.

We were so glad to find Lisa when our regular afternoon babysitter had to be away for several months. Lisa filled in seamlessly -- picking up our six-year-old daughter from school, taking her to playdates and appointments, and bringing her home at the end of the day. Lisa was always punctual, communicative, playful, and fun to be around -- and, most of all, my daughter really enjoyed spending the time with her. She became a part of the school community of parents and caregivers, and knew all my daughter's friends. She was cheerful, thoughtful, and a wonderful caregiver. I'd be happy to act as a reference for any families looking for a great, highly responsible, and caring nanny or sitter!

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.

I've also worked with babies, toddlers, and sibling combos, including kids with autism and mood-related challenges.

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 • Cancellations within 24 hours: • Under 7 hour shifts: 3 hours minimum paid • 7–9 hour shifts: 4 hours paid • 9+ hour shifts: 50% of originally scheduled hours paid

Wendy came to babysit our 3 month old twice in a hotel room for dinner. She was great! Fantastic communication, punctual, was able to resettle our baby to sleep (no small feat!) and very trustworthy. We will definitely ask her again next time we visit.

Hello 👋 My name is Lillian I have provided child care and taught preschool for children ages newborn to school age for 25+ years. I'm currently a former full time nanny with a loving family and children, whom I love dearly, their are ages 6 1/2 and 3 1/2. I started with them full time in April, 2023, and unfortunately they are both starting school full time this fall. I will not be needed full time, as they would like to me to stay on part-time. That schedule would not work for me, unless I can find a part time position to fill in the gap. I hold two degrees, a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and an Associates in Massage Therapy. I'm a very hardworking, fun, energetic individual, who loves music, and playing as if I'm a tourist in NYC, even though I was born here. 🤣🤣 If you are in need of a full-time or part time nanny, and are interested in getting to know more about my nanny background, please DM me. Thank you so much Resume and references are provided if needed.

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy caring for children and supporting families. Watching children grow, learn, and feel safe brings me a lot of joy. I take pride in creating a calm, loving environment where children feel seen, nurtured, and encouraged. Being trusted with someone’s child is an honor, and I don’t take that lightly. What experience do you have? I have hands-on experience caring for infants and young children, including newborns. I’ve worked closely with families to support daily routines such as feeding, diapering, sleep schedules, and developmental play. My background includes caring for children in both private family settings and professional care environments, allowing me to adapt easily to each family’s unique needs. What skills and training do you have? I am a certified Newborn Care Specialist and also hold HHA and CNA certifications. I am trained in infant care, safe sleep practices, hygiene, and recognizing developmental milestones. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and calm under pressure. I communicate well with parents and always prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in care.
