Hello all! My name is Emma, and I am a current doctorate student at Hofstra studying clinical psychology. I have been babysitting/nannying for over 10 years now and have a master’s in human development and education from Harvard’s graduate school of education. This past year I nannied and weekend sat for families with children ranging in age from 6 months to 12 years. I love taking kids to play outside at parks, doing crafts and coloring, and answering questions from inquisitive little ones. In addition, I am a certified lifeguard with three years of experience and have also taught swim lessons to 1-10 year olds for over five years. I currently teach private swim lessons in NYC. Contact me if it sounds like I'd be a good fit to your family, I look forward to hearing from you! References by request.

Emma was fantastic with our 8 week old! We'll definitely work with Emma again in the future!

Booked by 8 families in Secaucus, NJ

Hello! My name is Lina and I look forward to working with you! I have 3 years of babysitting experience, and I live in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan. I’m accessible to pretty much all subway lines for travel. I’ve been around children for most of my life since my mother was a babysitter/nanny for 20+ years. I’m also a mother to an adorable 2 year old. I consider myself a kind, reliable, responsible, and attentive individual. I’m currently pursuing my Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education, as I have a passion for working with children. I’m bilingual, I speak both English and Spanish fluently. I'm also CPR, First Aid & AED certified. I’m available for occasional evening/date night opportunities. Thank you!

My husband and I had the pleasure of hiring Lina to babysit our four-year-old for a few hours on a Saturday evening so we could go see a movie together. We were incredibly impressed with her professionalism, warmth, and genuine enthusiasm. From the moment she arrived, she connected with our son, and we felt completely at ease leaving him in her care. Her background in Early Childhood Education and her experience as a mother are clearly a huge asset, as she seemed to know exactly how to engage him in a fun way. In addition to being a fantastic playmate, Lina was incredibly responsible and attentive. We truly felt that she was present and focused on his needs the entire evening.

Booked by 134 families in Secaucus, NJ

Hi families! My name is Natasha, and I recently graduated from Bank Street College of Education with a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Special Education. I have experience working as a preschool teacher, nanny, babysitter, and in after-school programs. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of different ages and needs, including school pickup/drop-off, evening care, overnight care, and weekend babysitting. I also have experience supporting children with special needs, including autism, sensory processing differences, and deafblindness. My background in early childhood and special education helps me create a patient, supportive, and engaging environment where children feel safe and encouraged to grow. I love planning fun and meaningful activities such as imaginative play, arts and crafts, reading, sensory activities, and outdoor adventures. One of my favorite parts of working with children is watching their confidence, creativity, and curiosity grow as they learn about the world around them. In my free time, I enjoy reading, building Legos, and visiting museums. I look forward to connecting with your family!

Natasha arrived on time and enthusiastic to care for our son. She kept him entertained with many activities and stuck to his daily schedule. She sent updates during the day to keep us reassured. Would definitely book her again!
