Booked by 15 families in Flushing, NY

Hey there, future families! I'm Vashti, and I'm excited to introduce myself. I've had the pleasure of caring for little ones from toddlers to teens, making each day an adventure. I'm here for tweekends when you need an extra hand, and if my schedule allows, I'd love to help out on date nights too. In my free time, you'll often find me aimlessly strolling through the city, and pedaling on a trusty Citibike. Just a friendly heads-up: if our day together stretches past 10:00 pm, I'd appreciate your help covering half of my Uber ride home. Looking forward to getting to know your family better! 😊

Booked by 37 families in Flushing, NY

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.

Booked by 24 families in Flushing, NY

Hi, my name is Anikka and I have graduated with a Sociology Degree with a minor in Spanish. I have obtained my masters degree in School Counseling to hopefully become a School Counselor. I have been working with children since i was 14 years old and have been continuing to do for the past 12 years. During these past 12 years, I have babysat children ranging from infancy through 11 years of age. In addition, I was a tutor for 5 years where i have helped children with their homework and helping them advance to the next reading level. In the previous summers, i had the chance to work at a summer day camp as the head counselor where I had identify the campers needs and talk to parents on issues that their child may be going through. Lastly, I promote and encourage healthy and safe behaviors to children. I love babysitting because I love making everlasting memories with the children while teaching them new things. In my free time, i like to crochet scarves, write songs, cooking, gardening, drawing, playing video games, just simply being me!
