$25 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced and energetic nanny and babysitter with several years of caring for children ranging from 6 months to 12 years old. I’ve successfully managed busy households with up to five children and multiple pets, keeping routines organized while creating a warm, fun environment for kids to grow and feel supported. I love engaging children through drawing, singing, and creative play, and I bring a naturally bubbly, positive personality to every family I work with. As a former camp counselor, I’m also experienced in leading groups of children, planning activities, and maintaining a safe, structured environment while making sure kids have a great time.

$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Alicia! I am a first-year student studying at Fordham University at Lincoln Center. I am offering child care, animal care, and household services. As a big sister, I’ve spent my whole life caring for my younger siblings, which sparked my passion for babysitting. I have hands-on experience watching over toddlers and ensuring their safety while juggling school drop-offs and pick-ups for their older school-age siblings. Over the years, I’ve cared for numerous young children, creating a fun, nurturing, and safe environment that parents can trust. As a result of working in multiple customer service jobs along with my engrained family position of being a middle child, I’ve developed an outgoing yet adaptable personality that allows me to connect with children of all ages and personalities. I genuinely enjoy being around different people and pride myself on my patience, creativity, and ability to handle any situation with a smile. Whether it's playtime, homework help, or bedtime routines, I’m dedicated to providing reliable and loving care for every child I watch. I also adore animals and would be happy to help with your furry loved ones, whether it be feeding, walking, or just playing. I have two of my own and know just how important they are to a family !! I can also help as a household assistant, providing tasks such as cleaning or running errands.

Hi! I like to go by Monica and I’m a very experienced Nanny who has worked in the home with many families, newborns, toddlers, and children, for the past 30 years. I am offering child care and after-school Nanny services to families in the NYC area. It’s my passion being a Nanny and engaging with children of all ages! Playing games, arts and crafts, reading books, taking them to the playground - I love to keep them busy and help them to build their skills. Maintaining a safe, loving and fun environment is something that I take seriously! I am comfortable with school pickups, doctor appointments, preparing meals for the children, doing their laundry, maintaining a tidy home, doing their bedtime routine, and am flexible to work late when needed. I can’t wait to meet your kids, to work with you, and be part of the team! :-) (I am happy to provide references!)

Monica (legal name Lorna) is an UNBELIEVABLE caregiver, nanny, and overall person! Monica has been our family’s full-time nanny for the past five years (2021-2026). She has been with our two boys from the day they were born until now, with out oldest son about to enter Kingergarten and us moving out of NYC. We cannot recommend her enough!! She is amazing with newborns, toddlers, and children of all ages. She knows exactly how to connect with children and give them what they need to thrive. I’d be happy to give more detail or a reference for Monica anytime. Please text me at 516-695-6767. Thanks for all the amazing years, laughs and love, Monica!!

I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, volunteered at elementary schools, and worked at a summer camp for 2 years. I am able to tutor, teach crafts, give voice lessons, and on occasion walk to and from school. I am CPR certified. I love to cook, enjoy cleaning and organization. I am able and willing to run errands and do household chores. I love animals and while I have the most experience with dogs I’m willing to learn how to take care of other animals as well.
