Caley Brooklyn
$25 per hour for 1 child

I am 31-years-old with over 15 years of experience working with children! I just completed my MFA in Theater Directing at UT Austin and relocated back to Brooklyn, NY. I am passionate about reading, love art and music, and I am kind, calm, fun and reliable. Currently, I'm looking for part-time, occasional, and date night sitting in the Brooklyn area. I've worked as a long term babysitter for a family with three young children - 6-year-old twins and a 2-year-old - and as a date night sitter for children from 3 months to 10 years. Most recently, I worked for as a part-time afterschool nanny for 4-year-old twins in Brooklyn. In college, I worked as Preschool teaching assistant and have experience with Early Childhood Education and Development coursework. I've also spent three summers as a camp counselor for kids entering Kindergarten. I am CPR & First Aid certified.

John Brooklyn
$25 per hour for 1 child

I am a recent graduate from Wesleyan University, where I studied Sociology and Italian. I successfully coordinated and taught my cherished after-school enrichment program—Cardinal Kids—where I worked with students age 5 to 12. Not only was this program enrichment-focused, but I learned what it means to make an impact and be a role model for younger minds. I have always wanted to be a big sibling-esque person to someone—I am the youngest in my family, and adored having all my older siblings and cousins as role models for me. During my teenage years, I lived with my single mom, who is the most caring woman ever. She taught me everything I need to know. She cared for my Gram in her final years, and I assisted with a lot of her healthcare needs—driving to and from appointments, administering medicine/diabetes shots, cooking, cleaning, assisting mobility, etc. All that said, I am well-experienced across many areas of care. It would be my pleasure to make a difference for you, however I can. I can also offer writing and language tutoring—as well as basic science and math principles.
