I specialize in supporting children ages 2 to 5 through engaging, developmentally appropriate lessons that build strong foundational skills in literacy, handwriting, and phonological awareness. I use trusted, research-based programs such as Handwriting Without Tears and Heggerty Phonological Awareness to make learning fun, hands-on, and effective. My goal is to help each child grow in confidence and readiness for kindergarten while fostering a love of learning

Hi, I’m Maria! I’m an NYC-based childcare provider with 10+ years of experience caring for children of different ages across the city. I’m reliable, attentive, and experienced with after-school routines, homework help, dinner, bedtime, and evening care. I’m currently available for recurring, part-time, and occasional care. Availability: • Open availability Sunday–Wednesday • Thursdays before 4 PM • After-school care Monday–Thursday, depending on schedule • Date nights & evening care throughout the week • Friday & Saturday evenings with advance notice I’m happy to discuss recurring schedules as well as occasional care based on your family’s needs. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and consistency while creating a comfortable environment where children feel cared for and parents can feel at ease. Whether you’re looking for consistent weekly support, after-school care, or a trusted sitter for a night out, I’d love to connect! 🌿

Maria is an amazing babysitter! She was our morning babysitter for the 2024-2025 school year. She was responsible for helping our then 4/5-year old get ready for school. After putting our little one on his school bus, she would then took our 8/9-year old to school. Maria was always punctual, calm, and adaptable. Mornings can be hectic, yet she was able to step in and provide support where needed. Currently, Maria works as an occasional sitter for us. Her punctuality, easygoing nature, and adaptability continue to serve her in that role. My boys love her and get along with her well. She’s very responsible and knows when to communicate important information to parents. We recommend Maria hands down.

Hello families! I am a third grade teacher living in Brooklyn. I have been a full time teacher for ten years and have over fifteen years of experience working with elementary and middle school age children in classroom and home settings. I began working with children when I started babysitting my toddler twin cousins, and have worked in education and childcare for over ten years. I currently teach fourth grade in Brooklyn. I’ve previously taught first grade, third grade, and K-12 art therapy. I am excited to work with all ages of children, and love to engage in their favorite activities with them. Thanks so much for reading, I look forward to working with you! Best, Leanne

Leanne was professional, reliable, and easy to talk to. She took great care of our daughter while we were visiting family. Would book her again anytime we’re in town!

I'm a master's graduate with more than 15 years of childcare experience (including my extensive time caring for my teenage brother and sister since they were infants!). Originally from Phoenix, I've also lived and babysat in Los Angeles, and would love to share my experience with your family here in New York! I'm also happy to assist with household chores, cooking, animal care, and other services along with babysitting.

Kathryn was excellent with our infant son and super communicative with us! Will absolutely hire again!
