Hi! My name is Victoria and I am a born and raised New Yorker from the Upper East Side. What I think is most unique about my experience with childcare in the city is that I was also raised in the city so I know what the experience and context of everything is like. I have been a nanny for 3 1/2 years and it is my passion to work with children. I have worked consistently with 5 families on the UES (my own business)that are willing to give exceptional references on my behalf. I also have worked with two families in the Hamptons The families I work for have children aged from 7 months- 8 years of age. Because I plan on becoming a behavioral therapist for autistic children, I incorporate a variety of activities fun and educational into my nannying. I am not only caring and creating a safe environment for your children, but teaching them important skills to learn and grow. I am very organized and will always have activities for your children!I am very energetic and attentive and have a very close relationship with all the families I work with. If you are looking for someone who plays attentively, encourages learning growth skills, puts children’s safety first, adapts to family dynamic quickly and is more than familiar with the neighborhood I am the person for you :) I am very flexible right now as the family I ave worked or just moved back to London.

Hi, my name is Alex. I’m a postpartum doula with 15 years of experience and over a decade supporting families as a birth doula. For the past 4 years, I’ve worked exclusively in overnight newborn care helping parents get real rest while knowing their baby is still being cared for. I support families through every part of the night: from feedings, diaper changes to soothing and upholding family Standards of a healthy routine . I make sure bottles and baby items are clean and ready for the next day, and I step in wherever I’m needed so parents can wake up feeling refreshed.

Hi! I’m Gabby. I’m 28 - born and raised in NYC. I’ve had a huge passion for childcare since being a teen. Most recently I babysat for 2 gorgeous twins - 1 boy and 1 girl from their ages 5-7, until they moved away in 2024. I built a strong bond with them almost instantly that only got stronger over the 2 years. Since then, I've been doing occasional gigs here and there, but I hope to find more steady work. I’ve had several other jobs related to child care as well as pet care. I’m naturally a very nurturing person, so babysitting especially is something I gravitate towards. It’s also in my blood as I come from a line of teachers! My grandmother was a teacher in her day and my mother is an assistant teacher at an amazing nursery school! Everyday she comes home from work excited to show me new pictures of her babies at school - so sweet. Aside from childcare, I also have a background in art from my father’s side. As much as I love children, I'm currently finishing up a degree in Interior Design at Parsons (all asynchronous classes, so it would not interfere with my schedule). My favorite thing in the world is being able to combine my two passions – childcare and art! I love teaching kids art and introducing them to new medias, even getting technical and teaching perspective such as drawing 3D objects! During my last job with the twins, I introduced them to felting which was very fun. It was so rewarding to see their colorful creations! Overall I’m looking forward to going back to childcare. I know having a connection with a child is not something you can force, so if you think I might be a good match for your child/children, please do not hesitate to contact me! I am also able to look after any animals if needed, I am a huge animal lover and have looked after everything from dogs, to even chickens! Any chores you need done around the house can also get taken care of (permitting there's enough time in the day). Thank you!
