Hi, I'm Victoria! I have 8+ years of babysitting and nannying experience in NYC and have recently re-entered the babysitting world after getting my MBA! I work full time in finance but have been missing getting to work with kids. Originally from Upstate NY, I moved to NYC to pursue a BFA in dance and have since transitioned to the business and finance realm. Some background on my experience: I have been babysitting for the past 10 years and I love to work with kids. I have worked with children from ages 2 months to 12 years old. I have also taught creative movement classes and dance to kids of all ages, so I am very accustomed to high energy and can match that of your child. I have also tutored children and worked in classroom settings. I am a very active and enthusiastic person, which I love to share with the kids I work with. I love to babysit because growing up, my babysitters had a positive influence on me and became very important to me, so I want to give others that experience and be a fun, inspiring babysitter and positive role model. I do not treat this job as daily work, I treat each family as my own and make sure the family and children receive the best care possible! Additionally, I have done volunteer work with reading to preschoolers, helping elementary school students after school with tutoring, and volunteering at daycare services for kids. A fun fact about me is that I love art, reading, and pets! I hope to get to know you and your family in the future!
Hello! I'm Kirstie, and I bring over 10 years of comprehensive babysitting experience. During grad school, I was a night nanny for premature twins, which honed my skills in providing specialized care. I have also had the pleasure of traveling with families, ensuring smooth and enjoyable trips for both parents and children. Additionally, I have confidently managed solo childcare for up to four days at a time, showcasing my reliability and trustworthiness. My four years working at an overnight summer camp have equipped me with a diverse set of skills to engage children in fun, educational, and safe activities. I am comfortable driving children and adept at handling various responsibilities, whether it's part-time, full-time, or occasional babysitting. My goal is to create a nurturing and positive environment for your children, making their well-being my top priority. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and meet your childcare needs!

“Vanessa helped us go to a wedding recently. She watched two 2 yr olds and a 4 mo old. She fed them dinner and got them all to bed. My daughter, who is notoriously slow to warm (just ask her grandpa!) took to Vanessa immediately, holding her hand and playing with her. She woke up the next morning telling us she liked Vanessa. Vanessa was great with our girls, punctual and responsive when we were checking in. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for childcare!”
