Ava New York
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Ava, a Yale grad and former Division I swimmer with a passion for working with kids. I studied English at Yale with a concentration in Writing, and spent a year as a Teacher’s Aide at The Masters School in Dobbs Ferry, where I worked with students across multiple grade levels. I also spent 3 years as a swim instructor at Empire Swim School in Tarrytown, teaching kids of all ages and skill levels to swim, so I’m very comfortable working with children in all kinds of settings. Additionally I have years of experience nannying and babysitting kids of all ages. As a varsity athlete who trained 20+ hours a week, I bring a lot of energy, patience, and structure to everything I do. I’m reliable, responsible, and passionate about being the best role model possible for the kids I work with. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

Abby New York
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m an Art History major at the University of Virginia and currently a visiting student at NYU. I have several years of experience babysitting for family, friends, and younger cousins, as well as volunteering as a tutor for kids from pre-K through middle school. I love working with children and always aim to create a safe, fun, and engaging environment for them. I’m also a big animal lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. Last summer, I worked as a gallery assistant in South Carolina, where I managed the space independently—cleaning, organizing, and helping visitors. That role really taught me responsibility, reliability, and how to stay calm under pressure—qualities I bring to babysitting as well! I am correctly in New York from May 2025 - August 2025 I’d love the opportunity to support your family and get to know your little ones!
