Hi families! My name is Fatoumatu, and I truly enjoy working with children of all ages. I have years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids through babysitting, nannying, and volunteering, and also taking care of my own siblings and neighbours kids. I’m known for being patient, attentive, and creativity. I love keeping kids engaged with fun activities, reading, and arts & crafts. Safety and communication are very important to me. I am comfortable with routines like meal prep, and bedtime, and I always make sure children feel safe and cared for in my presence. Parents often describe me as reliable, responsible, and easy to communicate with. Whether it’s creating fun games, or keeping little ones on their daily routine, I aim to bring a calm, positive, and dependable presence into your home. I’d be honored to support your family and provide loving, trustworthy care for your children.
Hello everyone! My name is Erica and I’m currently looking for my next family. I’m currently nanny to two sweet littles.. a just turned three year old boy and his fifteen month old sister. I’ve been a nanny for more than a decade and love it! I’m originally from Guyana and in worked in banking prior to becoming a nanny. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and have done the Cornell neurodivergent child training. I am outside everyday with the little ones.. most days we stay out all day. Or if we’re nearby, make a pit stop at the house and head right back out! Such fun! If you think I could be a great for your family don’t hesitate to reach out! Thank you!
I am Cornelia , an experienced nanny with great references! I have had the opportunity to care for kids from newborns to school age for the past 16 years, and it has been a pleasure. My skills has sharpened as the years went by, and it has taught me a lot about myself. I love caring for kids because it affords me the opportunity to help contribute towards our next generation, as the first three years of a child’s life is the most crucial phase developmentally.
I am a lifelong babysitter, starting as a mother’s helper at 8 years old for a neighbor and their infant. I babysat throughout high school for an infant until I moved to NYC when she was 8 years old. In college, I worked at a daycare with children aged 12 weeks to 5 years old. When I first moved to NYC I was a nanny for 3 different families with children ranging in age from 8 months to 2 years old. I am currently a 5th grade math teacher and have been a teacher to elementary and middle school aged children for 14 years. I love playing games, reading and going for walks or to the playground. I love to joke around while still have boundaries with kids to keep them safe and learn how to navigate the world around them.
Hi! My name is Sierra, and I am a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of The Arts Drama program (2024) with experience with caring for children from 1-10 years of age in the past. I’m now a professional actor and filmmaker on top of providing childcare. I have previously worked as a tour guide for my hometown's history museum which worked primarily with school groups. Thus, I have a lot of experience with large groups of elementary aged children. I have also performed children's theatre in the past. I am proud to be from a teaching family—with family members who work in the Department of Education in CA, public school teaching, and are professors at top universities around the world. Similarly, I have provided ACT and SAT English instruction in the past for high school students and scored a 34 in English and a 35 in Reading on the ACT. Including my theatre experience, I also speak Mandarin (intermediate). My hobbies include film photography, cooking (I was an apprentice at a two-star Michelin restaurant), hiking, exploring historical sites, and studying philosophy. I believe in the importance in helping nurture a child's empathy and their skills to later be a fully functioning adult. I believe that it is more important than ever for children to be able to express themselves and have someone to listen to them. I would be happy and honored to be someone who can help your child feel heard. I hope that in turn it would inspire them to be someone who reaches out to others as well.
