Meet college nannies and sitters from Yale University

Hello! I’m Gabriela, and I recently relocated to San Francisco after transitioning out of academia. With a background in life sciences and over 7 years of experience caring for children (including the past 3 years here in the US), I have developed a deep love for working with kids of all ages. Spending my time with children is incredibly rewarding, and I’m great at creating fun, personalized activities based on what each kid enjoys, ensuring they have a happy and engaging time. I truly enjoy creating a calm and nurturing environment where kids feel safe, happy, and supported. I’d be happy to help with anything that makes your day easier—whether it’s homework, school pick-ups and drop-offs, meal prep, or simply spending time with your little ones! I’m also a big animal lover, with two cats and years of experience caring for dogs. I’d be so excited to support your family and create a positive, loving environment for your children! :)

Hello! I am an artist with my Master's of Fine Arts in Acting from Yale, mother of two school-age children, and I have lived in NYC for four years. I'm happy around shy or high-energy children. I love finding ways to reach them that make them feel accepted and in a trusting environment. I love imaginative play, keeping schedules, and helping with homework. Siblings are great, too! Looking forward to meeting you and your kiddos! I absolutely love working with children! When I lived in Texas, I founded a children's theatre camp in Texas for ages 5-18. I developed curriculum, managed scheduling and instructed every class. I have worked as a nanny for over a decade before having children of my own and now take part-time work. Some of my favorite jobs included two brothers, ages 4 and 11 who enjoyed playing adventure make-believe and basketball, respectively, who I nannied for 3 times a week for about a year before graduating. I also loved my time as a nanny for three brothers, ages 6, 9, and 12 who had packed schedules to keep after school: practicing piano, doing homework and playing soccer outdoors, who I watched for over a year. I will also never forget the family who lived in my building here in new york, whose daughters - ages 4 and newborn I watched at least once a week, sometimes more, sometimes just coming over to play and visit; ballet, painting, storytelling, and going on adventures full of imagination and play were all part of the itinerary - all while keeping to the required schedule for feeding and bedtime, of course. :) Most importantly, I have 3 siblings, including two younger brothers, both of whom I adore. I am older than the youngest by 7 years, so by the time I was 13 I not only began babysitting professionally but also proved both my responsibility and joy to play on a constant basis as I watched over my brothers. I have an 11 year old niece who is the apple of my eye. I was 16 when she was born, and my sister worked full time, so my primary job in high school was to come over after school and take over for my mom and watch my niece for the day, starting when she was a newborn to around 2.5 yrs old at 2-3 times a week for long afternoons until my sister came home. I absolutely loved it!

Hi, I'm a screenwriter based in Eagle Rock. I graduated from Yale with a B.A. in English and a concentration in creative writing in 2016. I've lived in Los Angeles in the ten years since. I've worked as a babysitter since I was fourteen and have worked with children ages six months to fourteen years old. I've also tutored students in literature, creative writing and college essay writing for many years. My role as a filmmaker and writer is inextricable from my approach as a caregiver: to lead with a generosity and collaboration, with the patience and curiosity to help kids become the best version of themselves. My schedule is flexible, but I'm especially available afternoon/evenings.

I love children. I grew up with siblings, and I love hanging out with my 3-year-old nephew who lives in Berlin, Germany. I'm an experienced teacher. I've been teaching German languages at Yale and philosophy classes back in Germany. I love going on walks in Central Park, any kind of outdoor activities, going to museums, and playing games. I like cooking, especially organic and veggie food.

Hi! My name is Seneca (she/her), and I am a recent graduate of Yale University with a BA in Environmental Studies. I am offering child care, senior care, and pet sitting. Child Care Formally, I have over a year of experience providing childcare for a community organization while parents attend meetings or workshops, primarily for children ages 4-12. Informally, I have over a decade of experience in caring for children ranging from infants to pre-teens. I grew up caring for my younger cousins after school, ensuring their needs were met and that they had a range of fun, safe, and creative activities. I also have experience managing larger groups of children and youth. I worked as a lead coordinator for a youth leadership program for middle and high school students, where I co-led the development and facilitation of locally relevant educational activities and built youth leadership skills. Additionally, I worked as a tutor for the college-prep program Breakthrough, where I assisted middle school students in English, Social Studies, and writing skills. I am patient, and I enjoy getting to know the child. I am adaptable to the types of play or activities the child prefers, whether it is exploring a park, playing pretend, or making arts and crafts. I am very comfortable working with parents who have specific routines or parenting philosophies, as well as children who have particular care needs. Additionally, I am happy to help out with homework! Senior Care Though I don't have formal experience in senior care, I have assisted with the care of elderly family members in daily life, managed accessibility needs, and provided dedicated accompaniment during travel. I am happy to provide companionship and conversation, assist with medication management, perform light housework, and overall help with daily living activities. I am patient, enjoy listening, and am passionate about meeting people where they are at. Pet Care I grew up with dogs (two black labs and a chihuahua!) and am very comfortable around animals. In addition to following the pet's schedule and ensuring their needs are met, I can provide play, pets, and a calm, reliable presence for your pet.
