Meet college nannies and sitters from CUNY Hunter College

I have been babysitting for over 10 years! I have been a counselor in training at the YMCA, helping in the summer program with specifically children from ages 5-13. This had included for me to work from 9 to 5, and even staying overtime if my advisors needed the extra help. I was consistently, and not only traveling with the children around the building, but outdoors as well. I made sure that they were safe, playing respectfully, doing their planned activities and getting their lunch. Despite the basics, I focused on child development when working with the children, making sure to be understanding of their emotions as that was very important to me. I had to teach them about consequences to their actions with enforcing discipline, yet maintaining a respectful manner. I allowed for them to understand the importance of empathy and apologizing. This allowed for me to understand at the time what it meant to be a leader, and have proper communication skills I Love Children!

Hi, I’m Reunet! I’m currently looking for weekend babysitting opportunities (Saturdays) I’ve babysat for two families and helped care for my nephew from infancy through early childhood. I’ve also spent a lot of time around children through family and my community. I’m caring, attentive, dependable, and take children’s safety seriously. I’m happy to help with homework, schoolwork, and light household tasks as needed. I have a STEM college background and am also a professional graduate. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, board games, puzzles, comedy, mystery novels, movies (especially a good plot twist!), music, and dancing. Thanks for reading! 😊

Hello! I would describe myself as patient, friendly, understanding, reliable, and great with kids :) Feel free to ask for the contact info of my references! As of right now, I am the regular sitter for 4-year old & 10-month old sisters. I am seeking occasional/one-time jobs for when I have availability. I previously worked at Breindy Active Fitness. I would watch 2-8 kids at once, all under 3, and many were newborns. I have experience playing with children, calming them from tears, feeding them, changing diapers, reading with/to children, night-time & day-time routines, and more. In my senior year of high school I interned at the Jewish Community Center Day Care. I was a teacher aide for a classroom of 5 year olds. One of the kids had special needs. In high school, I was a part of a club that contained kids with autism and kids without autism. We did many different bonding activities together that exercised my capacity for patience and understanding. I raised with a dog and a cat in the house for over 12 years and consistently took care of them. I often dog sit/cat sit/house sit for my friends when they are on a trip. I grew up very active and played on the Volleyball, Swim, and Rugby Teams at school. I also danced ballet for 10+ years. I love arts & crafts and playing! Also my major was English Literature, so I love stories and reading.

Hello Parents! *Available for weekend and occasional care in the 2025-26 school year.* My name is Laurel. I really enjoy being a nanny and babysitting. I am very engaging with children and we have tons of fun together. This past year I have been a nanny for an adorable three year old girl in Park Slope. I will be continuing with them in the fall. I will have availability for weekend and occasional care during the upcoming 2025-26 school year. I have experience with a range of ages from toddlers to preteens. I’ve got a great sense of humor and can be playful. I truly enjoy reading stories to kids. My current favorites are the Frog and Toad books. I can help your older child with homework too. I’m very patient, kind, creative and reliable. I have experience with neurodivergent kids, including ADHD and those on the autism spectrum. As a native New Yorker I’m familiar with the public parks, playgrounds, libraries and kid friendly museums. I’m comfortable taking kids on the bus or subway. I’m LGBTQIA+ friendly, CPR/First Aid Certified and Youth Mental Health First Aid trained. I’m a non smoker and Covid vaccinated and boosted. I recently had a MMR booster as well. I’m comfortable around pets and enjoy their company. Reach out if you think I might be a good fit for your family. I’d be happy to talk with you on a video call about your childcare needs.

I am a recent college graduate who loves working with children, spending time outdoors, and supporting families in my community! I have been nannying consistently throughout college and beyond, and I genuinely enjoy building relationships with children and helping create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them. I have experience caring for children of various ages, tutoring, and helping with homework. I am happy to provide academic support as needed, and I am almost fluent in Spanish! Special Needs Experience: I have extensive experience working with children with special needs and feel very confident supporting children with a variety of abilities and challenges. I have worked as an aquatic therapist and taught swim lessons to children with various disabilities. In high school, I also served as a social coach, helping students with homework, social skills, and job skills. During college, I volunteered with a program serving children experiencing homelessness through an after-school program, where I helped with homework, served dinner, and organized fun activities. Swimming & Safety: I have five years of lifeguarding experience, hold a CPR certification, and have taught swim lessons to children ranging from one to eighteen years old. I am passionate about water safety and feel comfortable working with children of different ages and skill levels. Pet Care: I have loved dogs my entire life and volunteered at a dog shelter for many years. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, including both timid and energetic dogs. I am also comfortable caring for cats and providing overnight pet sitting. Household Help & Cleaning: I am happy to help with household chores and cleaning as needed. I gained valuable cleaning and organizational experience while working in a women's locker room at a fitness club, where I was responsible for maintaining a clean and welcoming environment. I also worked at Starbucks, where I enjoyed customer support tasks such as cleaning tables, washing dishes, and restocking supplies. I am comfortable taking on a variety of household tasks when provided with the appropriate supplies and instructions.

I would love the opportunity to support your family, whether that means caring for your children, helping with homework, assisting around the house, or looking after your pets!

Hi! My name is Andrea and I’m a lifeguard and a swim instructor at the YMCA. I’m certified in CPR and Basic Life Support. I also have an extra certification in teaching kids with disabilities such as ADHD or autism. I’ve been a swim instructor at the ymca for about two years now and have taught kids of different ages and backgrounds. I understand how draining it can be to take care of kids, which is why I’d like to be of help to parents who are overworked or even might just need some time for self-care. I also have a lot of experience with pets and especially cats. I've done a lot of research about pet care on my own time since I own two cats who I greatly care for. I’m definitely open to feeding, walking, or playing with pets. They deserve just as much attention and time as kids! I can cook as well but I am more confident when it comes to vegan/vegetarian recipes. However, I’m open to learning any new kinds of recipes that are out of my comfort zone.

Hi! I'm Agatha and I have 6 years of experience working with children as young as 4 months to 4 years old in a professional school/daycare setting (+ several years of volunteer work with children throughout high school as well). Alongside caring for your child, I will assist in any chores/tasks you would like me to complete. I will also always have activities planned in order to keep your child entertained, and learning! I enjoy fully engaging with children, whether at the playground, or creating simple games for them that improve their memory and motor skills. It is very fulfilling knowing that children trust me to help them grow, and have fun. I am very down to earth as well, so letting them be vulnerable ensures that they can be thoroughly themselves in a safe environment! :)

I have loved children since I could remember. I began teaching dance to toddlers when I was in high school on top of being a camp counselor. After graduating from Hunter college in Manhattan I moved back to NJ and began to instruct at MYGYM Hoboken. At this time in 2012 I met a family with 2 children and became a sitter fo them along with five other families they knew well. They ended up moving and I found a permanent part time job sitting for an amazing family with twin girls and a newborn baby boy. I was their sitter for 4. 5 years and they became my family. During this time watching all three children I was completing many fitness certifications such as pre/post natal exercise, and pilates. I absolutely adore children and care for them as if they are my own. I am the director and partial owner of PLAYDAY NYC and built up 5 locations around Manhattan. PLAYDAY is a children's art space where I design art camps, classes, and creative birthday parties for children ages 2-10. I am punctual, responsible, energized and work well under pressure.

Hi! My name is Sivan, and I'm a recent Hunter College graduate. I have 14 nieces and nephews so I have been caring for children ever since I was young. I worked as a daycare substitute from 2[removed] and as a lifeguard in the summers, and nannied 2021-22. From 2022-2023 I worked full time at a day school before returning to college full-time. I graduate in the spring and am looking for part-time nannying that may potentially become full-time post graduation. Most of my experience is with newborns to age 4, but I have cared for children ages 6-11 in the past. I don't mind light housekeeping, pet care, and cooking, and am able to do school drop-off and pickup. I believe in honesty and communication with both parents and children.
