Hello! My name is Stephanni and I have been babysitting/working in daycare centers for over a decade, beginning at my church nursery when I turned 14. I worked there for two years, taking care of children from 3 months-12 years old. When I turned 16, I began working at the daycare center at Lifetime Fitness (a gym in Texas) until I graduated high school. In college, I nannied for 3 children ages 11-15, and drove them to and from their after school activities. I moved to NY from Texas 10 years ago and have no plans to move anywhere else! My favorite thing to do in the city is to walk around and explore different neighborhoods and try different restaurants. In my spare time, I also love going to concerts and traveling! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need more information!
Hey! I’m Emily. I’m a creative an compassionate caregiver, available for once in a while or part-time day or night time babysitting! I also can help with pets (over 8 years of professional petcare experience), homework, pick ups and drop offs (valid driver's license), etc. I’m an actor and a yoga teacher, have experience with sick and elderly care, and I love to read and hang out and play outside!
“We had a last min need for a sitter for our 3yo while visiting NYC. Emily was the first to respond when we posted the job. She reached out that AM proactively to confirm, was responsive (took my call) and arrived on time. My wife met her and said she was very nice/professional. We'll be sure to reach out to Emily again next time we are in NYC.”
