Hi! I'm Isabelle, am 29 years old and live in NYC. I have an AA in Art and a BA in Politics. I work as a case manager/community organizer at a food pantry on the UES. I used to babysit during college and always enjoyed it which is why I still occasionally enjoy picking up some gigs here or there :) I grew up in Germany with an American mother, a German father, and am the oldest of 4 siblings. I'm fluent in both German and English and have worked with bilingual kids in both a nanny and teaching environment. After graduating from HS in Germany and professionally working in the performing arts growing up, I was interested in working socially with families and kids who were less fortunate/had special needs. In the summer of 2015, I started an art+living project in Germany with kids and families who had fled their countries. In 2016, I became part of a therapeutic horse farm that focused on working with kids with special needs. I was the outdoor teacher and leader of an inclusive forest group consisting of 5-7 children aged 4-10 years old. Upon moving to the USA in 2017, I worked as a teacher at the Seattle Waldorf School and absolutely ❤️ it. In the summer of 2022, I worked with kids in Ukraine+Poland, primarily teaching or working with mothers and babies. I've been working with runaway homeless youth at places such as The Door and The Ali Forney Center for the past several years. Working with kids has always brought me joy and kept me grounded during hectic times. I nannied during undergrad and, while I have experience with children of all age ranges, I have primarily worked with infants and babies during their first year of life. I have experience with night-nannying, sleep training, feeding, and multiples. For those of you with older kids, bedtime routine is no problem either as I have had many longer term after-school gigs as well. I am confident in navigating the city responsibly, including school pick-up, and use of public transit. As a nanny, I'd describe myself as relaxed, punctual, reliable, flexible, confident, reasonable, communicative, consistent and dedicated. I very much enjoy working with families of different backgrounds, and I am absolutely LGBTQ+ family-friendly, being part of one myself. I can provide references and am happy to answer any further questions. I'm vaccinated and CPR trained. ⭐️ When I'm not nannying, I am playing soccer, going for a run, cheering on the WNBA+ NWSL, going out with friends or staying in with my books.

Isabelle was great. On time, asked thoughtful questions and kept us updated on how our girl was doing.

Booked by 28 families in Hoboken, NJ

Hi! I currently work full-time in higher education as a college counselor, but have extensive experience in childcare as a full-time nanny & part-time sitter as well as teacher for younger students. I used to direct an After School Program (at SPCC) for school-aged children, K-5, and taught English (ESL) to high school students. I personally love working with kids as it's a great way to get to know my community and have fun with cool & interesting wee ones! I have references and my rates are negotiable. During the summer, I have a flexible schedule with may allow additional hours. Most evenings & almost all weekends are wide open. Please reach out with any questions!

Alex was so thorough and absolutely incredible with my daughter Charlotte. Couldn’t recommend her more.

Booked by 8 families in Hoboken, NJ

Hi! My name is Lily, I work and live full time in New York, and I went to Virginia Tech for school. I love being a babysitter and I’m trying to find opportunities to continue baby-sitting here. I have been baby-sitting since I was about 14 years old. I’ve sat kids 9-11, and my younger cousins who are 3, 7, 10, and 13. I am a kind, thoughtful and creative person who likes to craft, knit, read and play board games in my free time. I love kids and I am a patient, responsible, and caring individual. I can also work as a household assistant who cleans, runs errands, house sits or pet sits. I grew up with 3 cats and a dog and I just adore pets. I miss my chocolate lab back at my parent’s house. :)

Booked by 5 families in Hoboken, NJ

Hi! My name is Alejandra, I’m 22 years old and I have about 5 years of experience caring for children. Taking care of kids has always been part of my life. I grew up helping with my younger brother (who is now 10) and my younger cousins, which helped me develop patience, responsibility, and a natural connection with children. I’m a very creative person and I love keeping kids engaged with fun activities like arts and crafts, creative play, and small projects. I also enjoy photography and anything related to creativity. I’m currently studying Computer Art at Hudson County Community College and I have a certificate in Graphic Design, so I love bringing creativity and imagination into the time I spend with kids. My first language is Spanish, and I also speak English well. I’m caring, responsible, and attentive, and I always try to create a safe, positive, and fun environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I truly love working with kids and being someone families can trust. I would be happy to help support your family and take great care of your little ones. I’m also very comfortable with pets, so having animals in the home is absolutely no problem for me

Alejandra was reliable, friendly, and did a great job jumping right in to put our two boys to bed and complete kid-related tasks after bedtime.
