Meet college nannies and sitters from Fordham University Lincoln Center

Hi there! My name is Aidan. I am 24 years old, I finished my Culture and Arts degree at Fordham last year, am pursuing working in the performing arts, work in the Theatre Industry, and am looking for some babysitting gigs to earn some extra money in this new chapter of life! I grew up between San Francisco and Brooklyn, so I am great with city kids as I am one! I have so much passion for working with kids (I have tons of classroom experience) and really think I could be a great fit for your family if you gave me a chance! - Why do I babysit? - 1. I love kids! I grew up in a big family as the oldest child on all sides so I have been helping take care of little ones for most of my life. 2. I have a passion for working with kids! I have in the classroom experience which has given me tons of childhood development skills and babysitting lets me use them! 3. I strive to be a positive male role model in all children’s lives. I grew up with girls and loved doing arts and crafts, make believe, dolls, etc… As a boy I love to rough house, run around, and play games. Anything a female babysitter can bring to the table, I can too! - My Background - I have been working with kids for 10 years as an After School Teacher, Nanny, Babysitter and Camp Counselor. I am certified in CPR/First Aid and have training in Child Abuse Prevention. Additionally, I have in-the-classroom experience which has enabled me to become very familiar with current educational standards and would be an excellent assistant to your child's homework needs. More importantly though, that knowledge helps me be more relatable to them as I understand what they’re currently experiencing at school! I have a background in performing arts, which you will find allows for pretty awesome story-times and games. We theatre kids have a ton of energy and I am no exception to this. I can keep up with all the energy your kids have and then some. I am a good listener and am flexible and willing to do just about anything a family needs of me. At the end of the day, the most important thing to me is to make sure your children are safe and happy, and that you as parents are satisfied with my care. I know it is uncommon to hire men in this field, but I promise you that you will not regret hiring me and I would be more than happy to provide as many references as you want! Let me know if you think I could be a good match for your family!

I began working as a babysitter in my teen years and loved it so much that I continued babysitting throughout college and into my 20s. After getting married and becoming a socialworker, I became a mother to my own child, who is now 18 years old and getting ready to go off to college this month! I have the experience of being both a babysitter, as well as a parent. I am CPR trained and because I worked for many years in Early Intervention, I am very knowledgeable about child development. I’m also a playful, energetic person who will engage with your child(ren). I love being outside, and enjoy crafts.

Greeting Everyone, My name is Elizabeth! I am recent grad who majored in Political Science and Latin American and Latino Studies. Iwas also on the pre-law track, as I plan on becoming a lawyer in the future. Four years ago, a majority of my experience is in a non professional sense. As the eldest, I have taken care of my siblings from infancy to the age of 15 years old. I am knowledgable with feeding children, changing diapers, bed time routine, and can help with homework. I would keep them engaged through energizing as well as relaxing activities. I also have experience with overnight routines. However, now I have been able to evolve my experience and taking care of children from ages of newborn - nine years of age. Shuttling them around the city from school to activities, assisted in bath time routines, and overnight feedings. I also have experience with working with children who have special needs, specifically autism. Before college, I worked for about a year with special needs children. I acted as a relief to families, while they ran errands. I assisted with behavioral development, homework, and every day tasks. I love engaging and caring for younger minds. They are so full of questions and I believe it is important to have someone willing to answer these questions rather than stamping out their curiosity. Furthermore, I know what it like to have the fear of caring for yourself or seeing parents stress about leaving their children with a stranger and I want to be that person who can alleviate that stress. To be the person that parents can trust. I look forward to chatting with you all!

Hi! My name is Jessica, but I go by Jessi! I'm from Austin, Texas, but I'm attending school at Fordham College at Lincoln Center and studying Psychology! For many years, I have routinely worked with kids anywhere from ages 1 to 12 between my jobs as an assistant coach for a little league swim team, babysitter for families in my area, and a summer camp counselor. I am good with homework help, routines, and entertainment. I've always loved working with kids and pets, as I grew up with two sisters, a total of eight dogs, three ferrets, two guinea pigs, and one cat; not all at once of course.

I am a second-year student from Southern California studying at business and politics at Fordham University LC. I have an identical twin sister who I am very close with, and who also attends Fordham University! I have 5+ years of babysitting experience for neighborhood family and friends, and an additional year's worth of experience working as an activities coordinator at the Four Seasons Aviara, where I facilitated crafts in the kids club, helped manage operations around the resort, and assisted with babysitting services while parents left their kids in my care on their vacation time. I was a competitive dancer throughout high school where I often helped mentor the "mini" dance team with my studio, including assisting with their classes and helping them get dressed and prepared at competitions. When I am not in class or doing homework, I also really enjoy running, going for walks, -- or doing anything active really -- reading, and hanging out with my friends around the city. I hope to be able to use my services to create a warm and welcome community for the kids left in my care, and assist with whatever actions are needed to ensure a great childhood filled with love and comfort!

Hi there! I have been working as an infant specialist and newborn night nurse for 8 years, and I’ve been a nanny for 10 years. I have worked as a credentialed ambulance EMT, Newborn Care Specialist, and CPR instructor. I have a spotless driving record and a Bachelor's and Master's. I am a certified Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula. I am well-versed in caring for children with special needs and providing medical treatments. I currently specialize in infants as a NCS/overnight newborn care giver. I am only seeking overnight positions at this time! I lead and care with kindness, patience, and confidence. I always take parents’ lead on preferences but am happy to provide suggestions and guidance by request. I treat the children in my care as unique individuals and work hard to understand their personalities and individuality from day one! I’ve also worked for many multiples, including many twins and a set of triplets. This includes multiples that were preemies and micro-preemies (on oxygen and heart rate monitors). If you feel I could be a good fit for your family, I look forward to hearing from you soon!

I am a college student at Fordham University at Lincoln Center majoring in Business and minoring in theater. I am from New Jersey but live in New York during the school year. I have babysat for 8 years with CPR certification. I have been working as a camp counselor for children ages 3-11 for since 2019 to present. I am also a lifeguard since 2023. I love playing with kids and keeping them entertained. I also know New York very well and know my way around safely. I know how to manage accidents and tantrums as well as soothe them when upset. I am also good with young children with special needs if needed.

I grew up caring for my younger siblings and have years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve babysat for families in my neighborhood for many years, worked as a caregiver at Brookdale Senior Living with older adults, and have been a pet sitter for three years. I also love helping kids learn, I’ve tutored elementary students for four years. Families find me reliable, caring, and patient with all ages and pets. I’m currently a student at Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business.

Currently a full-time nanny for a 4-year-old boy. Looking for extra hours on days I am not with him. I'd describe my personality as outgoing, adventurous, and fun. I love meeting new people and bringing positive energy into everything I do. I'm especially passionate about working with kids because they're curious, honest, and full of life. It's so rewarding to help them grow and to see the world through their eyes. I started babysitting when I was 12, helping with date nights and after-school care. At 16, I worked a full summer as a camp counselor, where I built strong communication and leadership skills while forming real connections with the kids. I'm looking for a babysitting job that fits my student schedule and lets me build strong relationships with kids while supporting their creativity and confidence. Families should know that if I care for their kids, I'll end up loving their kids and forming a real bond. I'm dependable, patient, and always aim to create a fun, safe space where kids feel comfortable being themselves.

Hi! My name is Michelle Rios, I’m 21 years old and currently a student at Fordham University in New York City. I was born in Boston and raised in Colombia, and I speak both English and Spanish fluently. I have been babysitting since high school and have experience caring for children ranging from infants who require diaper changes and feeding routines to children around 7 years old. I also have experience babysitting for families in NYC with children ages 1–7. In addition to babysitting, I have helped children with reading, writing, and schoolwork through tutoring and daycare-related activities. I genuinely love working with kids and creating a safe, caring, and engaging environment for them. I’m very patient, responsible, organized, and energetic, and I always aim to make children feel comfortable and supported. I also love cooking and baking, and I’m happy to help families however I can. Families would describe me as dependable, warm, and trustworthy, and I always treat every child with care and attention as if they were my own family.
