Find a babysitter in Astoria, NY

Trustworthy, patient and hard working nanny with more then +9 years experience, caring for children from newborn to school going age in many different family settings. I have worked as Friday night or Saturday night, weekend sitter, overnight, weeknights or on call sitter for some great families and looking for extra babysitting hours, short notice or part time position. I had fun traveling with families seeing some great places and having fun while working. My duties where but not limited to; making sure that the kids are bathed, ready for bed, read them stories, play board games, taking them to after school activities,provide safety, sleep training, prepare kids meals, feeding and other child related duties including some light housekeeping, dog walking, running errands and working extra hours when required.

I grew up in a large Haitian family so I've been babysitting for as long as I can remember. When my studies brought me to Hamilton College, I continued to babysit for professors and administrators alike. There I pursued an interdisciplinary major in Genetics & Social Justice with a focus on reproductive health. As part of my major, I got the opportunity to study maternal and child health in the U.S., Vietnam, South Africa, and Argentina. Living and learning in such different environments exposed me to children of all ages and backgrounds and taught me that in the absence of a shared spoken language, games are a universal language that can create a genuine connection with children all over the world. For the past 8 years, I've worked as a private tutor with elementary school-aged children and provided academic support in a variety of subjects. In addition to this, I provide semi-regular and occasional childcare services. If you'd like to book me, send me a message and I'll respond as soon as possible. Policies 1. I require a minimum of 48 hours notice if you’d like to cancel or reschedule a booking. Otherwise, I expect 50% of the payment for the booking. 2. I request a car service home for bookings ending after 8 pm. 3. I am willing to care for sick children as long as they’re not contagious, but please notify me in advance so I can plan accordingly. 4. I expect payment for the full booking even if you return home early. 5. My booking minimum is 3 hours. 6. My pricing for babysitting and private tutoring are distinct. Feel free to inquire, however, if you're interested in my pricing for tutoring services. Best wishes, Joany

I am a current MBA student and graduate of Georgetown University who loves children and has vast experience in childcare returning to babysitting while out of the job market. I have tutored kids from first to seventh grade, been a preschool assistant teacher and babysat for many families over the years. My duties have included school pick up and drop-off, meal preparation and planning fun activities for the kids. I am a big fan of getting outside and doing something active or creative. With a cognitive science degree focusing on child development, I am confident I will be a terrific complement to your family. I look forward to hearing from you!
