I’m an experienced and energetic nanny and babysitter with several years of caring for children ranging from 6 months to 12 years old. I’ve successfully managed busy households with up to five children and multiple pets, keeping routines organized while creating a warm, fun environment for kids to grow and feel supported. I love engaging children through drawing, singing, and creative play, and I bring a naturally bubbly, positive personality to every family I work with. As a former camp counselor, I’m also experienced in leading groups of children, planning activities, and maintaining a safe, structured environment while making sure kids have a great time.
Hi! I’m Marley — a junior at NYU studying Early Childhood and Special Education. I have experience caring for children from infancy through elementary school, with a background in both educational and recreational settings. This past summer, I worked as a nanny caring for a 15-month-old in the mornings and two boys (ages 4 and 5) in the afternoons. I planned engaging daily activities, incorporated vocabulary and reading enrichment, and organized outings to support social, cognitive, and physical development. I also safely transported the children to and from activities. Previously, I worked as a substitute teacher at the Burlington YMCA, supporting classrooms for children ages 8 weeks to 5 years, and as a camp counselor at an all-outdoor adventure camp, encouraging kids to explore, try new things, and build confidence. I’m committed to creating a safe, supportive environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I bring energy, patience, and creativity to every day, tailoring activities to each child’s needs and interests.
“I have known Marley for many years as neighbors and for occasional babysitting. We ended up hiring Marley to babysit our one year old for half days this past summer and she was absolutely amazing with my son. Marley was prompt, professional and always exploring new ways to help him engage and learn with the world around him. Marley was great about taking my son to the library, playground and doing other age appropriate activities, even when it was too hot to go outside. Marley used her early education curriculum to suggest toys and activities. My son's language and development flourished under Marley's care and we hope to have her help us again in the future! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for childcare.”
Hi - my name is Kristy, and I am a retired-teacher turned lawyer who is offering childcare, pet care, and/or tutoring services I love kids and have a lot of experience babysitting and tutoring. My youngest sister is nine years younger than me, so I started babysitting at 13 years old. I also was a kindergarten teacher for four years before I went to law school. I regularly watch my nephews, godsons, and niece. I also have tutored elementary aged students for over 10 years. In regards to pet care, I am a frenchie mom and love animals. I have watched friends and family members pets while they are out of town. I’m very responsible and caring. I also have a good sense of humor. Looking forward to meeting you.
“I highly recommend Kristy as a babysitter. With extensive experience caring for children of various ages, Kristy has consistently demonstrated a strong ability to engage, entertain, and care for kids in a safe and nurturing environment.

Additionally, Kristy maintains a high level of professionalism, communicating effectively with parents and ensuring all needs are met.

You can trust Kristy to provide a positive and dependable babysitting experience for your children. She has experience in the field of education as well as a former kindergarten teacher!”
Love cats! I can take care of multiple cats including ones with special needs. Happy to do overnight pet sitting if your cats need someone around more than a few minutes a day.
Hi everyone! My name is Sherkira. I’m 21 years old, and I truly love working with children. I currently work at a private childcare center, where I’ve been for 3 years. During that time, I’ve cared for children ranging from 3 months to 4 years old. I grew up with many siblings and often took on the responsibility of helping care for them, so childcare has always come naturally to me. There’s nothing I’m more passionate about than watching children learn, grow, and discover new things. I’m CPR certified, and I take pride in keeping a clean and tidy environment—especially after a fun, messy activity! My schedule is Monday through Friday, starting at 7:30 PM and ending whenever I’m needed.

"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!"
