Dependable and dedicated caregiver with over 13+ years of childcare experience supporting families with infants through pre-teens. I provide after-school, evening, and weekend care for households with up to five children. Known for being reliable, calm, and adaptable, I bring a strong understanding of child development and age-appropriate engagement. I prioritize creating a safe, structured, and nurturing environment where children are encouraged to think creatively, develop independence, and practice respect for themselves and others. I communicate clearly with parents, maintain consistency in routines, and approach caregiving with professionalism, patience, and care. My résumé and letters of recommendation are available upon request. I welcome the opportunity to connect and further discuss how my experience and approach can support your family’s needs.

Farah was fantastic! She watched our kids during a date night while we were visiting New York, and she was exactly what we hoped for. She was warm, dependable, and easy to communicate with. We came home to happy, sleeping kids and had complete peace of mind while we were out. We’d happily book Farah again the next time we’re in New York.

Hello, I am Jeanette! I tend to be a very active, adventurous, engaged, always on the go person. I have over 4 years of experience and hopefully more to come. I am currently studying to get my degree in early childhood education and possibly my masters afterwards. I have worked in a daycare that consist of children between the ages of 3-12. I assisted the teachers prepare for activities, cleaning, setting up their lunches and helped the older kids with their homework. I left for a bit to focus on my studies and returned to work a couple of months later. In the new place I was teaching children between the ages of 1-3. I was in charge of setting up the activities for each week. Helped them improve their fine motor skills and made sure they were reaching their milestones when they should. I communicated with the parents one on one and kept them updated on the school app. Where I informed them of everything from what they ate, what projects we were doing, when they slept and sent them adorable pictures of their children throughout the day! I left due to personal reasons which they understood. I hope to be able to work with a family that is very understanding and kind.

Hello! I'm 36, a flight attendant, and just recently moved here from California. I spent the past 4 years living in LA and worked as a nanny there, and before that I was living in Spain working as an English teacher and nanny. I have been nannying/babysitting since I was 12. I have a lot of experience with children from infants to teens, and I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I’ve worked with children with all abilities. I'm really friendly, interactive and I love kids. I prefer engaging with the children as opposed to letting them sit and watch movies or play video games. I'm responsible, reliable and organized.

Thanks Bethany. The kids had a great time and it was a pleasure to have you. It was a tremendous help and easy to communicate. Thanks again

"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!"
