Hello! My name is Phoebe, and I'm currently based in Manhattan. Prior to moving to NYC, I lived in Colorado, where I studied Sociology at CU Boulder. I love working with kids, and have experiences nannying with all ages. I've worked as a camp counselor for many years, so I'm pretty handy when it comes to outdoor games and activities!

My name is Lucia, I'm 20 years old, soon to be 21! I'm from Colombia, my first language is Spanish. I went to the French school in Bogota, Colombia, so I can also speak fluent French. I've been working with kids since I was 16. I worked multiple times at a very prestigious summer camp in Colombia. Children were between 6 and 17 years old. I know multiple activities to entertain children and love having fun with them! I love cooking, I'm super nice, I'm calm and patient. I've taken multiple courses about handling stressful/complicated situations with children. I did gymnastics most of my life so I love doing motricity activities! I'm currently doing my bachelor in Fashion Design, so everything that has to do with art and creativity, that's also my game!

Cynthia $27 per hour for 1 child
Hello, my name is Cynthia. I am a retired preschool teacher offering warm, dependable childcare and babysitting services. I hold a degree in Child Services from Montclair State University and have hands-on classroom experience working with children of all ages. I truly enjoy helping children learn, play, feel safe and cared for. In addition to teaching, I have lovingly cared for my three grandchildren and taught ballet to young students at Newark School of the Arts. My schedule is flexible, with a preference for afternoon and evening hours (but I will accommodate as needed). I have a valid New Jersey driving record and pride myself on being patient, reliable, nurturing, and attentive to children’s individual needs. I would love the opportunity to support your family with caring, responsible childcare.
Katherine $28 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Kat and I’m a grad student at NYU. I am an enthusiastic and experienced baby sitter eager to meet your family. I love working with kids and believe with a conscious balance of exuberance and structure I can provide your household with a memorable and smooth experience. I’m a firm believer in “getting on a kid’s level” literally and figuratively and my utmost priority is always your child’s safety. At the end of the day I want to make sure your kid has a blast! I love baking, singing, dancing and most of all storytelling (I’m an actor when I’m not hanging out with kiddos) so there will be never a dull moment. I am CPR certified and have over ten years of experience with newborns, infants, toddlers and school age children. I’m comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes and am happy to perform light housekeeping.
