Hi, I'm May, a 22 year old college student living on the upper west side of Manhattan. I have been babysitting since I was 12 and absolutely adore kids. I am experienced with children from newborns to elementary schoolers. I am super crafty and creative and can buckle down and help kids with serious work and school work. I love helping to unlock kids' imaginations and intellectual sides as well. Your kids will never be bored with me and I can always find something to do that is productive. I love cooking and baking and have been doing both since I can remember so I have quite a few creative snack ideas up my sleeve. Again, I love spending time with kids and I absolutely love babies. I am CPR certified and Red Cross trained. Safety is my priority so I can assure that I am Covid-19 vaccinated. Feel free to reach out to me about anything! I can't wait to take care of your child!

May babysat our twins. Our girls loved the time together. May was great.
