Booked by 9 families in Woodside, NY

Hey families! I’m Nia, 22 years old from The Bronx. For work I am a teacher’s assistant working my way up to become a full time teacher! Working with kids gives me a sense of purpose. I love being able to give advice to a young mind who is building their way up in the world or just being a friend and someone they can enjoy their time with. I am a pretty lively and active person with lots of energy to keep everyone happy and entertained :). The ability to connect, and teach are at the core of my work along with the mental well-being of the children I work with. I hope to share these values with the families I meet in the near future. <3

So sweet, energetic, communicative, and my boys loved her! Will have her back!!

Booked by 127 families in Woodside, NY

Hi! I'm Kelly. I have 20+ years of childcare experience with specializations in infant care and autism care. I hold a BA in English from UNCG and an MA in literature from CCNY. My favorite thing to do with children of all ages is share my love for reading. I have 4 years of teaching experience including ADHD executive functioning coaching and teaching English at the undergraduate level. I work in non-profit communications.

Kelly was so great with my 3 year old and 7 month old and was able to put both kids to bed on her first visit with us while we went out for date night. Our 7 month old was pretty fussy and she was able to manage everything like a pro! Would 100% book her again for babysitting.

Booked by 18 families in Woodside, NY

Hi I'm Hannah!. I'm a former preschool and kindergarten teacher, experienced sitter looking for a part time, weekend or occasional evening gig. I work in theatrical and live events. When not doing so, I support kiddos and their families. I am a licensed driver but am also happy to walk anywhere or use a subway. I’m CPR & first aid certified. I’m a recent Yale graduate with a masters degree in stage management. After working in a preschool during the pandemic, I worked in a Chicago area preschool classroom for almost two years in both the 2-12 month and 4 & 5 year old classrooms. In the spring of 2020; I graduated with a BA in early childhood, elementary education, and theatre. I am passionate and emphatic about viewing and valuing the child as a capable individual with a sense of agency. Throughout the years, I've had the opportunity to work with kids of many different backgrounds, encouraging them to engage through a sense of play, confidence and individualism. My experiences as a teacher, nanny, facilitator and graduate professor and taught me about teamwork, collaboration, problem solving and I am not adverse to cleaning up Legos or Shopkins that litter your living room. Nor am I afraid of a dirty diaper or any other messes your little one may make. I am also experienced with children of all different needs and abilities.

Hannah was wonderful and kind to our 10 month old daughter. Neighbors from our building later saw me and told me how gentle and attentive she was to my daughter in the playroom. I am so grateful and would definitely recommend her and will work with her in the future.
