Brooklyn $19 per hour for 1 child

I am the oldest of 17 cousins and 4 siblings and have gotten years of experience with a variety of different ages. Having spent a lot of time with younger children I have learned a lot about being intuitive with children to meet their needs as well as learning how to care for them and keep them entertained.

I have been working with kids in one way or another for many years now. I have 16 years in the pediatric medical field and worked 10 of those years at Children’s Hospital as a medical assistant. I now nanny full time to 2 boys, ages 1 and 3. Working with children has always been a passion of mine. I have about 10 years of professional nanny experience and have been sitting since the age of 12. I like staying busy and enjoy trips to the park, cooking with your kiddos and doing art projects. I'm a big sports fan and love playing golf any chance I get. Staying active keeps me young! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or if you would like a reference. I look forward to hearing from you!

You can usually find me watching a documentary, checking out a brewery or new restaurant, attending a concert, traveling, doing something outside, playing volleyball, or with my friends & family. My child care experience is extensive; whether in childcare for 10 years professionally (40-125 hours a week), or babysitting for five years prior, or a seasoned coach, I have done just about everything that comes with kids (except have any of my own, yet!). I am well versed with night nannying (I’ve had 12 sets of twins & 17 singles), newborn care (in addition to night nannying newborns, I’ve cared for hundreds of infants in various other settings), household management; ie; meal prepping, shopping, tidying, implementing organizational systems & much more (ask my clients how they feel about this 😉), overnights, (in 2025 alone, I had 27 gigs ranging from 1-8 days long), multiples (day & night nanny to 9 different sets of twins), nanny shares, baby led weaning, developmental milestones, pickup/drop off/transporting children, care during events (weddings, conferences), traveling with family (domestic & international), online learning (survived the whole COVID fiasco with 4 kindergarteners), epilepsy, medications, children with speech & motor delays, ADHD, & feeding tubes (G-tubes, NG-tubes, aversions, aspiration). I was also the volleyball program director at a JEFFCO charter school, & head volleyball coach to two middle school teams & two high school teams, consisting of 50+ kids for five seasons, bringing in two championships & three second places. It all brings SUCH joy to my life & I’m super proud to be in this line of work! I take enormous pride in the fact that I have built long lasting relationships with the families I have sat for through my personality, reliability, & passion to care for children. I am beyond communicative, confident & calm in any situation that may arise & my top priority is creating a positive & safe environment for children & leaving a family’s home tidied & peaceful for parents. Policies: 🌸5 hour minimum payment between Friday & Sunday (available to come for shorter hours, but minimum payment of 5 hours is required). 🌸Parents who reduce the original booked hours, arrive early, send sitter home at their discretion, or cancel within one week regardless of circumstance (includes but not limited to: illness, hospitalization, accidents, vacation, change in needs, etc) will be expected to pay for the entire booked price.

“We loved Delainie! Extremely professional but warm and kind. We hired her for a date night while we were visiting Denver. We wish she lived in NY so we could hire her all the time!”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
