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!!”

Hi - my name is Kristy, and I am a retired-teacher turned lawyer who is offering childcare, pet care, and/or tutoring services I love kids and have a lot of experience babysitting and tutoring. My youngest sister is nine years younger than me, so I started babysitting at 13 years old. I also was a kindergarten teacher for four years before I went to law school. I regularly watch my nephews, godsons, and niece. I also have tutored elementary aged students for over 10 years. In regards to pet care, I am a frenchie mom and love animals. I have watched friends and family members pets while they are out of town. I’m very responsible and caring. I also have a good sense of humor. Looking forward to meeting you.
“I highly recommend Kristy as a babysitter. With extensive experience caring for children of various ages, Kristy has consistently demonstrated a strong ability to engage, entertain, and care for kids in a safe and nurturing environment. Her reliability is exceptional, always showing up on time and prepared. Additionally, Kristy maintains a high level of professionalism, communicating effectively with parents and ensuring all needs are met. Whether it's managing mealtime, helping with homework, or planning fun activities, Kristy approaches every task with enthusiasm and care. You can trust Kristy to provide a positive and dependable babysitting experience for your children. She has experience in the field of education as well as a former kindergarten teacher!”
