Hi— my name is Ava and I’m a current graduate student studying at Columbia University. I am offering childcare and household services. I love kids and have been working with them for the past 4 years. I have 3 years experience of teaching toddlers survival swim, and 2 years of teaching and camp counselor experience with elementary aged children. I have also been a babysitter for my own younger siblings, one of which has a disability. All of this experience has given me patience needed to work well with kids :) I enjoy doing outdoor activities, arts and crafts, and reading to kids. I can also clean and run errands. The one thing I cannot do is drive, but hopefully that is not too much of a problem in the city.
Hi - My name is Natalie and I currently live with my husband and two cats in Brooklyn, NY. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I have 12+ years experience as a nanny for children ages newborn-12 years in NYC. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even soccer practice. I have also worked as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own in-laws and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I love animals and am also comfortable working with pets as I have two rescues of my own.
Hi! My name is Amina, and I’m a reliable, patient babysitter with hands-on experience in daycare, kindergarten, and after-school programs here in Brooklyn. I’ve cared for children of different ages, helping with daily routines, playtime, meals, homework, and bedtime. I also have experience working with special needs children, including support with potty training and clothing changes, and I always prioritize patience and safety. In addition to babysitting, I’ve worked as an after-school instructor for 5th graders at EXCEL Inc. and as a tutor in English, Russian, and math, so I enjoy keeping kids engaged through fun, educational activities. I speak English, Russian, and Kazakh, and I’m comfortable working with families from diverse backgrounds. Parents describe me as calm, attentive, and trustworthy, and I always make sure children feel safe, supported, and cared for. I’d love to help your family ,whether for a date night, regular care, or extra support when needed.
I am a 19 year old dedicated college student pursuing a nursing career under pediatrics seeking to expand my work ethic with an understanding of children’s behavior and needs. I am an enthusiastic, caring, and organized individual looking to grow as a person and professional every day while prioritizing children. I am a young lady myself, but i prioritize the safety of children with softness and calmness and will forever care over any child like they are my own family.
Hi, I’m Miss. Emily! I’ve always looked for opportunities to work with children and genuinely enjoy being around them. In my full time role as an urban planner, my work is often structured and fast paced, so I really value the opportunity to spend time in a more playful, engaging environment where I can connect with kids and bring a positive, upbeat energy. I have extensive babysitting experience caring for children from newborns to middle schoolers, including school pick ups, coordinating playdates and extracurricular activities, helping with homework, and managing nap and bedtime routines. I’m primarily looking for occasional or part time babysitting opportunities such as date nights, after school care, or weekend help, and I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of ages and responsibilities. I’m someone kids tend to feel comfortable around pretty quickly. I’m naturally warm and attentive, and I enjoy keeping them engaged through outdoor time, crafts, and reading while adjusting my approach based on their personality. I’ve also stayed involved with children through volunteer work such as summer camps, mentoring, and tutoring, and previously worked part time as a Spanish kindergarten teacher, which gave me hands on classroom experience. I value creating a fun, engaging environment where kids feel comfortable, cared for, and free to be themselves!

"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!"
