Hi! My name is Ciara and I am 30 years old. I was raised in NYC and I have been babysitting for the past 15 years. I have babysitting experience with children ages 4months-14 years old. I am CPR certified in all ages. I am currently a licensed 5th year School Counselor in a DOE public school so I have immense experience working with kids ages 3-18 years old. Additionally, I was a nanny to a family with a 4 month old who I cared for 5 days a week, including morning and bedtime routine. I was with them for a year. My love for babysitting as well as my choice to be a School Counselor is because I believe every child deserves to have guidance in their life and someone that they feel comfortable approaching for help during their childhood years. I am very outgoing, I love to laugh and have fun all whilst being responsible and caring. I am a very determined and motivated person, as well as great at both receiving and giving direction. I am also trustworthy and have social. I can cook and help with homework as well. Please feel free to reach out to me for my resume or more about me! Thank you.

Hi families! I am a mom of 2. One is a toddler and the other is 18 So I am patience-tested & approved! I spent several years as a stay-at-home-mom while volunteering at kid's school and occasionally substitute teaching. I previously worked as a "Teacher of Speech & Hearing Handicapped" in NYC public schools and an Early Intervention therapist and a special education preschool teacher in Florida. I have a Bachelor's degree in Speech Pathology and a Master's degree in Applied Research. I got sidetracked reentering the workforce with a breast cancer diagnosis but now I am cancer free and ready to work! I've met other urban sitter caregivers at my local library and I think this would be a great fit! I am a voracious reader and also enjoy finding new children's books with the perfect amount of text and simple illustration - However I love kids reading anything appropriate. I also love exploring the city and finding interesting events to attend always on the lookout for family friendly events. I am very hand's-on and enjoy playing with my own son whether it's building train tracks or playing hide & seek. As my infant days are over- rocking a baby to sleep would be a treat yet a fussy baby I can handle! So please go out, recharge and rest assured your precious child is in good hands.

I am a single mother of 3 grown kids. Two are away at college, the other is a HS Junior and is never home. I am basically an empty nester. I miss having young kids around and I am looking to make some extra money to help with expenses. I am available most evenings and weekends. I especially love babies and toddlers. I also have a dog and am comfortable with pets. I am also happy to assist with elderly for companionship as well as errands. I was an elementary school teacher as well as a pre-school teacher for many years. I changed careers yrs ago because as a single income household my teaching salary was not enough. I work in the financial services industry currently from 8-4 daily.

Hi! I'm Irlanda, a caring, dependable, and energetic childcare professional with over 8 years of experience working with infants, toddlers, and young children. I've worked as both a Teacher Assistant and Head Teacher in early childhood education, where I've planned engaging activities, supported children's development, and built strong relationships with families. I'm also completing my Master's degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), which has strengthened my communication skills and understanding of child development. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn through play, exploration, and creativity. Whether we're reading stories, doing arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, or working on age-appropriate learning activities, I strive to make every child feel supported and encouraged. Families describe me as patient, responsible, organized, and easy to communicate with. I'm comfortable caring for multiple children, preparing meals and snacks, helping with bedtime routines, and keeping parents updated throughout the day. My goal is to give parents peace of mind while ensuring their little ones feel happy, safe, and cared for.

Hi! My name is Iman, and I have a genuine passion for working with children. I’ve had the opportunity to work in a daycare, a school, and currently in an after-school program, where I care for children of different ages. I also earned my Early Childhood Development certification, which has given me a strong understanding of child development and how to create a safe, supportive environment for kids to learn and grow. I would describe myself as bubbly, patient, dependable, and responsible. I love planning fun activities, encouraging creativity, and helping children build confidence while making sure they always feel safe, happy, and cared for. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, cooking, trying new restaurants, listening to music, and exploring new places. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your children, and I always do my best to build strong, open relationships with the families I work with through honesty, communication, and reliability. I would truly love the opportunity to support your family and provide the best care possible for your children. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out I look forward to hearing from you!

I’m Mariana. I’m 27 and I was an Au Pair for almost 3 years in the US, where I took care of kids from 3 to 11 years old and them I worked as a full time nanny for a family and took care of a 2 year old. I’m currently getting my master’s degree. Before I became an Au Pair, I was an English teacher in Colombia, where I taught kids, teens and adults. I speak Spanish, English and basic French. I’m very clean and I encourage the kids to always help me clean up their toys and to be as independent as possible. I’ve also worked as a petsitter, and I absolutely love animals. I grew up in a farm with lots of dogs, bunnies, chickens and parrots so I have a lot of practice. I also have experience caring for seniors since I grew up with my grandparents, so I think I’m not just a nanny, but I’m a caregiver of all sorts.

Hi! I'm Shadiyah – a warm, dependable, and experienced caregiver. I'm 36 years old, a proud Hunter College graduate, and a devoted mother to a teenage daughter who's following her dreams at boarding school in San Francisco. My passion for caretaking began in childhood, inspired by my grandmother’s nurturing example. Over the years, I’ve cared for many families across different communities, supporting children of all ages. In addition to babysitting, my responsibilities have included meal prep, light housekeeping, homework help, and transportation to and from after-school activities. I bring over a decade of experience working in the New York City public school system (Pre-K–12), along with more than 5 years in child welfare. These roles have equipped me with a deep understanding of children’s developmental and emotional needs. I believe in balancing structure with play and love creating fun, educational activities that support both learning and creativity. I use positive discipline and gentle guidance, but I can be assertive when needed. I'm also a lifelong animal lover and pet owner—currently the proud mom of a sweet dog—so I’m happy to care for furry friends as well. It brings me great joy to support a child's growth, exploration, and imagination. I’d be honored to be part of your family's journey and look forward to meeting you soon!

Since September 2021, I have experience with kids from 3 months - 14 years old. I also have extensive experience with pet + house sitting (cats and dogs).

Whilst working with them, I also was able to develop relationships with other families within their school community, a total of 6 other families who would be able to, and to this day, ask for help when needed.
