I grew up in a small town in Missouri and attended the University of Missouri-Columbia. I graduated with a degree in Theatre. I am the oldest in my family and took care of my younger brothers, as well as younger cousins, growing up. From age 13 through high school, I babysat for a local family who had six kids all between the ages of 7 and newborn. I taught dance through high school and my first two years of college. I taught 3-5 year olds as well as pre-teens and teenagers. I am happy to help with homework and projects or anything else they may need!
“MK was so lovely and kind. She arrived on time, the kids really enjoyed playing with her and she went above and beyond by even tidying up a bit. Great babysitter, would absolutely hire again!”
Hi guys, I have my BSN in nursing currently studying for my license. I have babysat for over 7 years personally but worked with kids for 9 years since I worked in summer camps. EXPERIENCES: I have worked in clinical settings with children such as pediatrics and NICU. But I also have experience with children with autism and ADHD for over 4 years. I have also worked with children that have diabetes. I understand that patience, caring and love is key. I want each child to feel safe and have the space to grow. I am CPR certified and have availability throughout the day. I am also willing to do last minute bookings! During the last couple of months we have all needed a break, feel free to message me for a date night or when you need some extra help while working. I love playing board games and building buildings with connective blocks! I currently have experience with a 3 year-old. I am accustom to picking up the child from school and taking her to activities. I love encouraging children to be who they want to be. For instance, if a child wants to be creative or sporty we will either spend the day painting or go an adventure through the park. I have also had experience working with a 5 year old who was very active. I can range with different ages of children because I have experience of working with children in an urban environment. The children were able to explore nature and it’s beauty. I try my best to enforce the safest environment possible with both the child and the parent. I have worked with parents usually for the long term but am looking for occasional gigs. A fun fact about me is that I have played and taught basketball, tennis and was a volunteer soccer assistant with the ages groups of 7-13. I also love to play board games and carry an Uno deck of cards for when I babysit with older kids. Will gladly do phone interviews and in person interviews. I also drive so don’t mind staying out late if you needed extra time! Feel free to message me for same day jobs! Thank you for your time
Hi! I'm Morgan and I have almost two decades of childcare experience. I've lived in New York for the past 9 years and currently based in Bed-Stuy. Originally from Orlando, Florida, I made my way north by way of UNC-Chapel Hill, where I graduated before ending up in Brooklyn. Over my nearly decade in NYC, I've worked with several families long-term, and I've also spent time as a long-term substitute teacher in Florida. Families tell me they appreciate that I'm reliable, calm, and genuinely enthusiastic about being there. Right now I'm taking a break from my career in the design agency world, which has given me the chance to do what I love most-- working with kids. I'm currently nannying for a 13-month-old and two 4-year-olds. I'm available for occasional nights and weekend hours.
Hi, I'm Clarissa! I have over 10 years of experience as a nanny, caring for children ranging from 5 months to 10 years old. In addition to my nannying experience, l've worked as a personal assistant, making me highly organized and attentive to detail. I love planning engaging activities, from creative indoor projects to outdoor adventures on sunny days. I'm passionate about providing a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can grow and thrive. I look forward to getting to know your family and understanding how I can support your needs and expectations. Certifications: California TrustLine, First Aid, and Infant/Child CPR
Hi, my name is Bahia (pronounced ba-ya) and I’m a film major at Pratt Institute! I’m originally from Oakland, California and moved to New York to pursue my education! I am offering child care. I am CPR certified. I have EMSA Health and Safety certification (requirement for working at a school/daycare in CA). I also have gone through the process of having a daycare license in CA, it is not currently active as I now live in NYC! Every summer I work at a french immersion daycare in Oakland called Les BouTchou. I worked there full time from January-August 2024. I worked with babies ranging from 3months to 2 years old both within the daycare and as a babysitter! Additionally I worked as a substitute preschool teacher for kids 2-4yrs also at Les BouTchou. We learned songs, did many creative projects, and had so much fun while doing it! I’ve also worked as a counselor at a sleepaway camp in Tahoe, CA/NV. The age range was 8-15yrs. We led activities, hikes, and daily traditions for the entire summer, while keeping kids safe and guiding them through their emotional needs while being away from home. I was a lifeguard and swim instructor from 2[removed]. I taught ‘Baby and Me’ swim classes, as well as individual lessons for kids 6months-14yrs. I am fully fluent in French, and am always open to tutoring/homework help on all school subjects! I absolutely adore kids, of all ages and have really valued my time with them!
