I began working with children initially in 2011. I started as an assistant to a Taekwondo sensei (Now known as Johnny Karate on Court Street) when I was a junior black belt. From 2[removed] I worked in Kids Orbit After School Program based in Brooklyn New York, and their summer program Park Slope Day Camp where I worked for 3 summers (2 as a supervisor). Within those 3 years with Kids Orbit/PSDC, I was a Taekwondo Specialist, worked their after school program as a counselor, and worked in public elementary schools as a recess employee. During this timeframe I graduated from Brooklyn College with a Bachelors degree where I majored in psychology and Children and Youth Studies (3.94 GPA). I began babysitting for 1 family exclusively for 4 years from approximately 2014-2018 in Carroll Gardens. I worked with a 7 year old girl and 4 year old boy until they turned 11 and 8 respectively. In 2018, I had to leave that babysitting opportunity as I began working with the Administration for Children Services as a Child Protective Specialist (CPS) and their hours were demanding. I worked there until 2022. I have not worked with any children since 2022, but am now a State employee and I have over 11 years experience in the field. I am looking to pick up some part time hours, or 1 family I can work with consistently.
“I highly recommend Ammar as a caregiver & babysitter for children of any age! Ammar cared for our two children (a boy and a girl) over the course of several years and through various stages of their interests and development (ages 4-10). He was extremely reliable, but more importantly, truly cared for their needs, developing a strong rapport with both of them and took a real interest in whatever they were into (art, music, pop culture, reading, etc). Not only did our kids look forward to seeing Ammar regularly, but as parents, we felt completely comfortable leaving them in his hands, whether for an after-school pick-up until we got home, or an extended night out. Whatever the situation, he was responsible, smart, and communicative, detailing the day’s events. He not only handled the basics (homework, meal-prep, playtime) but was conscientious and always looking for new ways to engage or entertain our kids. We love Ammar and, even to this day, consider him family and a part of our lives.”
Hi! My name is Savannah! I recently moved to NYC from North Carolina, where I grew up, after graduating from business school at UNC. I’ve always loved working with kids and have several years of experience doing so. Before and during business school, I worked as a professional tennis coach at a club in Chapel Hill, where I worked with kids of all ages and loved getting to know them and their families. I also babysat regularly for a family for a little over a year. I now work in marketing for a corporate company and work from home, which gives me some flexibility with my schedule. I’m responsible, energetic, and easygoing, and I’d love to help out with babysitting, whether it’s an occasional date night, after-school help, or something more regular.
Hi! I'm a nurse who's currently looking for intermittent baby-sitting for date nights, errands, emergencies, etc. I've been a NICU nurse for 4 years and prior to that was a full time nanny for 5 years. I also babysat throughout most of middle school, high school, and parts of college. Most of my recent experience is from newborn to three years of age, but I do have experience with older children as well. I love infants and toddlers because they have such wonder and awe for the world around them and it's a special experience to watch and engage with their development and growth. I'm gentle, engaging, empathetic, and sympathetic in my care and avoid screen time when with the children. I love taking children to parks, museums, play dates, etc., but also just as happy to play games and read stories at home. I won't be able to have regularly scheduled gigs as my work schedule changes week by week, but would love to find a family or families to develop a longer term baby-sitting relationship with, as I feel continuity is better for both the children and the carers. I am also BLS and NRP certified. Thanks!
I am a second-year student at the Fashion Institute of Technology, offering dedicated childcare, pet sitting, and household management services. My background comes from years of hands-on experience caring for local families, looking after young children, and managing pet-friendly homes with cats and dogs. I hold a formal babysitting certification and excel at establishing trust, safety, and joy with kids. As a caregiver, I combine a patient, energetic personality with strong organizational skills. I act as an encouraging role model, an attentive companion to pets, and a reliable manager for busy households. My services cover structured daily routines for kids, alongside dedicated feeding, walking, and care for domestic animals. Additionally, I excel at household assistance, keeping living spaces spotlessly clean, organized, and clutter-free. My blend of warmth, responsibility, and detail-oriented efficiency makes me a well-rounded, dependable helper for any family.
I started babysitting at 14 and have worked in childcare since then. I worked at a summer camp for five years, and have also have been a full time swim instructor for children ages 2-12. I have done private lessons and continued babysitting throughout. I love working with kids and enjoy watching them learn with a smile on their face!
