Meet college nannies and sitters from New York University

Hello! My name is Alex! I'm a passionate, empathetic, and creative student. I've worked with my family and those in my neighborhood, along with working with younger children through school mentor programs. One thing you should know about me is that I always put one hundred percent into anything I do. When I do something, I don't like to do the minimum. In childcare, along with everything else, I bring my best self and effort to the table. I am always determined to make a good impression and go above and beyond in every aspect. I care deeply, and my passion drives me to always put my best foot forward. Whatever you are looking for, I will always come to a job the same way I approach all my other passions: with care, drive, and a commitment to excellence. My skills include meal prep and cooking for children, helping with homework or schoolwork, and providing quality activities and entertainment, including play, crafts, story time, and more.

Hi! I’m Ashitaka, a CPR-certified preschool teacher and children’s gymnastics instructor with over 2 years of experience supporting little ones as they grow, learn, and play. I specialize in working with toddlers and early childhood age groups, and I bring a warm, high-energy, and creative approach to caregiving. As a Broadway actor and performer, I love incorporating music, movement, and storytelling into everyday moments — from dance breaks to dramatic storytime. I’m comfortable with meal times, routines, transitions, and sensory play, and I thrive in environments where kids feel both safe and celebrated. Helping children feel confident, curious, and cared for is at the heart of what I do. I’d love to be part of a home where joy and structure go hand in hand!

I am a thoughtful, calm, and adaptable individual with a genuine passion for working with young children. For two years, I worked at an Early Learning Center at a private school in NYC, with a focus on early childhood ages 2-5. My background also includes an internship at Headstart and experience at a pediatric dental office, providing me a well-rounded foundation in child-focused environments. I am currently pursuing my MSW at NYU with the goal of becoming an elementary school social worker. My key strengths include (as a native NYer!) are patience, communication, and creative problem solving. I am also a huge dog lover.

I have a lifetime of experience working with children. I’ve been babysitting regularly since I was old enough, have worked as a full-time nanny, and have extensive understanding of childcare and learning through my mother, who runs a preschool in Connecticut. I’ve worked at her school directly and have also held several long-term babysitting and nannying positions, with kids ranging from infants through 12-year-olds. I’m also a freelance designer, so my schedule is flexible! I’m high-energy, ebullient, and genuinely love to play—why shouldn’t it be fun for both of us? I’m especially interested in activities that spark kids’ curiosity while helping them build skills and a deeper understanding of the world. I’m very hands-on and love to craft, make things, and get immersed alongside kids. I went to film school and enjoy doing creative projects such as making short movies together, which can be a great way to combine storytelling, collaboration, and play. I’m also comfortable preparing meals and snacks, and enjoy putting together food that works for kids and their routines. I had wonderful babysitters growing up, and really can’t overstate how much I value the time I spent with them! I also spent part of my childhood in the city, and know how rich and engaging it can be for a developing person with the right kind of guidance. I was raised around Reggio Emilia principles (my mom is Bank Street–educated, and I went to a Reggio school myself), and those ideas have deeply shaped how I think about children, learning, and play. I aim to be someone kids feel excited to spend time with and parents feel completely confident trusting—curious, attentive, and genuinely invested in making each day engaging, supportive, and fun. I’m new to this site, but have some fantastic references should you like to speak to someone! Don’t hesitate to reach out, thanks so much :-)

Hi! Thank you for taking a look at my profile! I graduated from NYU with my bachelor’s in Biology on the premed track. I now currently work as a research technician at MSK. I’m pretty new to this app, however I’ve had several years of experience caring for my younger sister along with other family members. I’m mostly open to part time/date night positions. I’m also available for tutoring and homework help particularly in the areas of math and science. If you think we’d be a good fit, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Hello! I'm Brooklynn, a freshman at NYU Tisch. I've been working with kids for 1-2 years now, but I've been taking care of my baby cousins since I was in middle school. I love music, watching movies, reading, cooking, and baking! I am willing to do whatever house care and cooking you need, but running errands might be a little tricky for me to do. I also have 3 dogs at home and am very familiar with their care! If you have any other animals, I am willing to do my research beforehand. The one animal I cannot be around is a guinea pig because I am allergic.
