Meet college nannies and sitters from Colgate University

I’m a 30-year-old dog lover residing in DC since 2018. With my own furry companion, I’m passionate about providing a safe, loving space for your pets. I offer plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles, ensuring your dogs feel cherished and happy while you’re away. Let me care for your beloved pets with the attention and affection they deserve!

Hi! My name Vanessa, and I am a graduate student studying School Psychology at Loyola University. I have a strong passion for supporting children's learning and social-emotional development. I have worked in childcare for over 10 years, gaining experience in creating fun and engaging opportunities for young people of all ages. I want to continue working in childcare and am actively seeking babysitting opportunities while pursuing my graduate studies. Beyond childcare, I enjoy caring for pets and don’t mind helping with light cleaning or running errands.

Hello, I'm Lucy Babat! I am 22 and a recent Colgate University graduate heading to NYU this fall for a Master's in Social Work. I'm originally from Nashville, TN, where I spent several years nannying and developed a real love for working with young kids, especially infants and toddlers. I'm patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy the day-to-day of caring for little ones. I like keeping kids engaged with screen free play, hands-on activities, cooking simple meals and snacks, and helping older siblings with homework when needed. I am well versed with infants and am more than comfortable curating age appropriate activities (tummy time, swaddling, soothing, etc). I have also taken many childhood development courses through my psychology major at Colgate. I'm available for the summer and would love to find a great family to spend it with. Please feel free to reach out!

Hi! My name is Kate, and I’d love to support your family with reliable, attentive, and engaging part-time childcare, including evenings and weekends. I currently work full-time at a family law center and truly enjoy working with children and families. I’m a Colgate University graduate and an incoming student at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School. I have extensive tutoring and babysitting experience, along with a lifetime of hands-on childcare from growing up with three younger siblings. I am also lifeguard certified and have previous experience as a swimming instructor. I’m responsible, patient, and organized, and I prioritize creating a safe, positive environment, whether that means helping with homework, doing crafts, playing outdoors, reading together, or supporting bedtime routines. I also bring strong academic support experience, including homework help, organization, and study skills. I specialize in standardized test preparation and college readiness (177 LSAT, 34 ACT), but always tailor my approach to each child’s age and learning style. Families describe me as dependable, communicative, and calm under pressure. I’m happy to assist with light tidying, simple meal prep, and maintaining household routines. I look forward to connecting with your family!
