I’m a 22-year-old who loves working with kids and animals. I have experience caring for children of different ages and always aim to create a safe, fun, and positive environment for them. I’m patient, responsible, and enjoy helping kids learn through play and creativity. I also have hands-on experience with dogs, including walking, feeding, and basic care, so I’m very comfortable around pets. I’m excited for the opportunity to bring my positive energy, reliability, and love for kids and animals to your team.
Hi there! My name is Lindy and I’m a 26-year-old artist and textile-maker living in Brooklyn. I graduated cum laude from NYU three years ago where I studied mental health with a focus on children and adolescents. I am passionate about early childhood, and this fall, I’ll be back in school working towards my masters degree in art therapy. In the mean time, I’m looking for part-time nanny work and regular babysitting opportunities! :) I adore children and have been babysitting since an early age. In addition, I have experience working as a teacher’s assistant at my local temple, a day care assistant, and as an intern at a children’s arts camp in Brooklyn. In total, I have over 5 years of experience caring for children aged 3 months to 12+. I've spent the past three years since graduating college nannying part-time. One of my previous nanny families described me as “kind, sensitive, attentive, and simply a lovely human being…who has very much become a part of our family.” I am fully vaccinated and boosted as well as CPR and First Aid certified. Let me know if you’d like to speak to my references!
“Lindy helped us out last minute when our full-time caregiver had a family emergency. She was calm, kind and mature and easygoing about our toddler being in a cranky mood. Our 5 year old also had fun playing with her. ”

“I cannot say enough positive things about Arifah. She is one of those caregivers you immediately trust, and she consistently goes above and beyond for the children and families she works with. Arifah is kind, patient, and incredibly attentive, and she truly connects with the children in her care while always keeping safety and routines a top priority. What stands out most about Arifah is her calm, reassuring presence and her natural ability to read children’s needs. She is dependable, thoughtful, and communicates clearly, which gives parents real peace of mind. Whether following daily routines, engaging children in meaningful play, or handling unexpected situations, she does so with maturity and care. I would trust Arifah with my own children without hesitation. Any family who works with her will be fortunate to have such a compassionate, responsible, and trustworthy caregiver.”
Hi! My name is Sophia and I currently work at an advertising agency. I'm the eldest daughter of 5 kids and so taking care of others at all stages of life has been something I've grown up with. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have been babysitting for 12 years and nannied for 1 year and have enjoyed every opportunity I get to care for kids. I have experience with a wide range of age groups from infants to 12+ year olds. Families I have previously cared for say that I am kind, attentive, fun, compassionate, responsible, and always with a smile on my face. My responsibilities have included driving/to and from camps and swim lessons, crafts, and cooking. Some of my other skills include household services like cleaning. I was a paid cleaner for a year and in my personal life take pride in having a clean home. I also offer the services of running errands, laundry, and organizing. I have also had opportunities to care for a variety of pets - everything from dogs to cats to lizards to hamsters and more. My experience in pet sitting has involved walking, feeding, and playing with the animals.
