Hi! My name is Nikki, and I have over 3 years of experience working with children and pets. Im an undergraduate at NYU, studying Psychology with a minor in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies!

Hi! I’m Lindsey – a full-time product manager living in Brooklyn and working in Manhattan. I'm currently looking for part-time nannying opportunities—ideally on weekends, though I’m also open to some evening jobs during the week after work.

Whether you're looking for a dependable weekend sitter or occasional weekday support, I’d love to connect and see if I’m a good fit for your family.

Hi there! My name is Gigi. I'm originally from Seattle and currently live in Bushwick/Ridgewood. I attended the University of San Francisco, where I graduated summa cum laude with a BA in Media Studies. I have been in NYC since 2018 and worked as a long term nanny and family assistant until 2023, when I stepped away to focus on my artistic pursuits! I was a dancer for a long while and have more recently been pursuing performance art and physical theatre by way of theatre clowning! I am taking a show I have written and directed with a dear friend to Edinburgh Fringe Festival later this summer :). I have missed working with young ones and so I am back! Play, discovery, and having a healthy relationship with The Flop (failure) is important to my work as a performance artist as well as when I work with kids. I'm learning no other work is as enriching or fulfilling...so here I am! I am passionate about nurturing and supporting a child's creativity, curiosity, and individuality, as well as building healthy self-esteem! While I don't have any official certifications or training in childcare, I've learned a lot and have had great success through teaching dance and tutoring. In my own personal life, a lot of work is centered on using the arts as a healing modality, as well as working through generational trauma and dysfunctional family patterns and behaviors. I find that this work has taught me to become a more empathetic, nurturing, and patient person and has greatly impacted how I relate to children in particular. I am incredibly careful and intentional with my time spent around kids and hope to provide only the warmest, most supportive, and gently engaging environment. Thank you so much for your consideration and time and I look forward to supporting your family any way I can!
