Dear parents, I am a 35year old nanny from Poland. I graduated from Oklahoma City University with a dual degree BA in cello performance and liberal arts and obtained my MA in Public International Law/ Human Rights degree from John Jay college. I have eight years of experience working as a nanny and I can provide multiple references upon request. Through college, I took classes in child development and had various opportunities to work as a tutor as well as a full-time and part-time babysitter to families with children of varying ages, including newborns. I am responding to your advertisement because I am a very honest, responsible, loving, and warm person, truly committed to any job I do but especially those in childcare. I have found so much joy working closely with many families and helping their children develop. I am looking to find a nice family to work with occasionally and help out as much as possible; and always with a smile. I have been told many times how much parents value my preparation for work. I always come up with different activities for the children to keep them mentally stimulated but also to ensure they're having fun with their imaginations and creativity! In a typical day, the children would participate in Arts and Crafts projects, music lessons, story-telling, and many safe and fun games. I always make my activity plans based on what children are interested in, as well as the activities that their parents prefer. I believe in the importance of routine, but as always, I put the parents concerns first. In addition, I pride myself on always helping with cooking, laundering, and cleaning. I hope I get the chance to meet with you and I thank you so much for your time and consideration. If You have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Kind Regards, Agata

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. :)

Hello, my name is Iva; I am a 25-year-old NYU student (History/Econ Major), born in Zagreb, Croatia, and my favorite color is blue. I have been babysitting for the past three years, not including taking care of my sister, who is 10 years my junior. I have extensive experience with boys and girls ages 4 and up, and am competent with after school pickups and transport to activities, homework help, cooking, light housekeeping, and house sitting. Areas of homework help I am most comfortable with are History and English. I am currently looking for part-time, after-school work; I am flexible with travel, hourly rates, and date-night babysitting.

Very friendly, kids liked her, will definitely have her back!

Hi! I am 21 years old and attend Oberlin College in Ohio where I'm studying psychology. I grew up in Brooklyn Heights and have lived here my whole life, so I am comfortable with public transportation, going to park, and other fun attractions for kids.When home on breaks, I live with my two parents, older brother, younger sister and dog. I have experience sitting for kids ages 1-9; this includes playing with them and getting them dinner together, bathing them and putting them in pjs, and reading books to put them to sleep. Sometimes I would bring my dog because one girl loved to play with him. I am allergic to dogs and cats, but I am able to work with families who have dogs that do not shed. In my free time I love to bake, paint, sew, play frisbee, and take my dog to the park. While my certification has lapsed, I have taken courses in CPR and first aid.

Hi there! My name is Shaniyah, and I've been caring for and teaching kids for over 10 years. I've worked as a nanny, teacher, and childcare provider, and I truly love what I do. I hold both a bachelor's and a master's degree, and I'm currently pursuing my second master's because I believe in always learning and growing. I recently graduated from Rutgers University's Mason Gross School of the Arts and the New York Film Academy's Acting for Film program. I'm also a proud U. S. Army veteran, which has taught me responsibility, reliability, and how to handle any situation with calm confidence. Families describe me as warm, creative, and trustworthy. I bring patience, positivity, and structure to every home I work in, and I love creating fun, enriching experiences that help kids learn and grow. Working with children has always been one of my greatest joys, and I'd be honored to support your family however I can.
