Tracy Bronx
$23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Tracy , and I have my Associate’s degree in Liberal Arts. I’m offering child care and household services and plan to continue my education to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Education. I have three years of experience as a nanny and plenty of babysitting experience caring for children of different ages. My duties included school drop-offs and pick-ups, baths, meal prep, laundry, and fun outings to the park and other activities. Through caring for my younger siblings, I developed a strong passion for working with children. I especially love caring for babies and toddlers—it’s so rewarding to be part of their early growth and learning. I’ve worked as a Summer Youth Counselor and currently work as a Preschool Teacher Assistant. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and love planning creative activities like baking, drawing, and crafts. I’m caring, reliable, and dedicated to creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for every child.

Caitlyn 4 reviews
New York
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Woodhaven, NY

Hello! My name is Caitlyn. I am a graduate student pursuing a master’s in mental health counseling, residing in Manhattan, New York, with a passion for working with children. Over the years, I have accumulated extensive experience in child care, starting from the age of 13. It began when I started caring for my two younger brothers, one of whom has special needs. This experience has equipped me with the skills and understanding necessary to provide exceptional care for children with diverse needs, including ADHD/ADD, Autism, hearing impairment, depression, and anxiety. I believe in creating a nurturing environment tailored to each child's unique needs. Ensuring the safety and well-being of your child is always my top priority. I offer flexible availability during the week, as well as on weekends, to accommodate your schedule. I look forward to the opportunity of meeting you and your child(ren) soon. If you're interested in booking my services or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me via email at [removed]* I can't wait to hear from you soon! ——————————————————————- *I may not be active on this app, but I will promptly respond if you contact me via email. Thank you!

Caitlyn cared for my 3rd grade daughter for a year as our regular babysitter, picking her up from school a few days a week, taking her to after school activities and doing the evening routine. Caitlyn was always prompt, communicative, flexible and kind. Manhattan kids are busy and Caitlyn kept up with the 92Y class schedule, the playground and all the playdates. I knew my child was safe with her and my daughter was always happy to be with Caitlyn. I’d be happy to speak to anyone considering having Caitlyn as their sitter - you’d be very lucky to have her.

Dana Palisades Park
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Dana, and I’m seeking a long-term position as a nanny/childcare provider. For the right family, I’m open to longer hours or a live-in position, offering flexibility to meet your needs. With several years of experience as a teacher’s aide/assistant at a preschool and as a nanny for multiple families, I bring a wealth of expertise in childcare. I’m passionate about working with children because their energy is incredibly uplifting, and I thrive in the joyful, dynamic environment they create. My love for childcare has driven my career, and I’m excited to continue in a role where I can make a positive impact. In addition to childcare, I offer highly experienced pet care, ensuring your furry family members are well looked after. I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping duties, such as laundry, tidying up, and basic kitchen tasks (like dishwashing or organizing). Please note that light housekeeping does not include sweeping, mopping, scrubbing, or excessive vacuuming. I also provide light cooking, preparing a variety of dishes from simple snacks to family meals. As a personal assistant, I can handle tasks like picking up dry cleaning, pharmacy orders, food shopping, and driving children to and from activities, appointments, or school. I hold a valid driver’s license and drive a newly purchased SUV, offering reliable and convenient transportation. As a naturally neat, tidy, and organized person, I take pride in creating a clean and welcoming environment. In my spare time, I enjoy summer beach trips, attending sporting events, exploring, trying different restaurants, and watching sports. I’d love to connect with a family seeking a reliable, caring, and experienced nanny for a long-term partnership, whether part-time, full-time, or live-in. Feel free to reach out to discuss how I can support your family!
