Hello! My name is Ashlee and I love kids! I am a dance teacher and performer so I have been working with kids for over a decade in the classroom along with caring for others as a babysitter throughout the years. I have experience teaching ages from 2-18 so I really know how to communicate and connect with them. I love playing outside, reading to kids, spending quality time, and trying to teach them new skills as well. One day I want to have kids of my own so I accept every opportunity to care for a child with a ton of gratitude from the start because I know how precious those young years are, and it’s more practice for me in hopes of being a mom one day myself.
Hi neighbors! My name is Gemma, and I’m an 18-year-old senior at The Brearley School. I have experience babysitting for local families with children ages 5+, and I’m certified in CPR for infants, children, adults. I am also certified in First Aid. I have worked as a camp counselor and have babysat children ages 4-11 before. I also foster kittens, and have lots of experience with cats. I have owned dogs before as well. I’m warm, reliable, and love keeping kids engaged, whether that’s helping with homework, playing games, or reading together. Please feel free to reach out — I’d love to connect with more families in the neighborhood!
Hello my name is Sarah I am an experienced daycare assistant with hands-on childcare experience seeking a full-time nanny or babysitting position. I am currently working in a daycare setting, where I support children’s daily routines, learning, and development, and I also provide occasional weekend babysitting for one of the children in my care. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children. I am looking to bring my experience and dedication into a full-time nanny or babysitting role with a family.
Hi! My name is Alexa and I’m a responsible, caring, and reliable babysitter with a genuine love for working with children. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and happy. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on each child’s individual needs. I love engaging children in age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, games, and outdoor play, while always prioritizing their safety and well-being. Families describe me as trustworthy, warm, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and at ease when leaving their children in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your little ones!
Hello! My name is Meadow, I am 24 and just moved from Wisconsin. I graduated a few years ago with a business management degree. I have been babysitting since I was in middle school, I was also a full time Nanny 2 years ago during the summer. I come from a big family and have always been around kids. I currently work as a barista and we have a playroom available so I am still working with kids daily. With former families that I have worked with, I have assisted in helping with homework, getting the kids ready for school or bedtime, cooking, cleaning and walking them to school. I am comfortable with cats and dogs as well.
“Meadow is competent, trustworthy, patient and kind. My son takes awhile to warm up to people and he quickly connected with Meadow. She understood his feelings, was empathetic and patient with him. She found topics to connect with him and they built a fun relationship. She also was great with my daughter (9) who could talk with Meadow for hours. I highly recommend her and have full confidence in her skills and abilities with kids of all ages.”

"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!"
