Hi, my name is Crystal! I have a bachelor’s degree in Developmental Psychology and am currently pursuing a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Childcare has been my primary profession for the past 10+ years. I have experience with children of all ages. I am CPR/First Aid certified. I make a great sitter because I am very observant of each child’s individual needs. I make a great sitter because I am very observant of each child’s individual needs. I have found that positive reinforcement is often the most effective approach. I am warm, energetic, creative, and pay great attention to detail. Kids always love how silly I am with them, and I make sure that we have a great time. Despite my playful approach, I make sure children follow their parents’ rules and expectations.
Hi! I just moved to NYC from California. My name is Haley and I am a 26 years old with bachelor degree in psychology and a minor in Education from UCSC. I have over 9 years of babysitting experience with kids of all ages. I also have a elementary school teaching credential. I have worked at summer camps and after school programs as well.
“Haley has such a nice demeanor and I felt very at ease when she was with my 2 and 4 year old for the evening. Would definitely recommend. ”

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 ”
With 10 years of experience, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for children ranging from 6 months to middle school age. I am passionate about creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where kids can thrive. From nurturing infants to supporting school-aged children with homework and activities, I’m dedicated to meeting the unique needs of every family.
“Professional, on time, good communicator, kind, and good with my 3yo!”

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
