Hi! My name is Anastazija, and I am a dedicated and caring nanny with a background in healthcare. I graduated as a nurse and currently work full-time in the medical field, which has strengthened my skills in responsibility, attentiveness, and patient care. I have experience caring for children of various ages, always prioritizing their safety, well-being, and engagement in fun and educational activities. With my nursing background, I am trained in first aid and emergency response, allowing me to provide an extra level of care and reassurance. I am patient, reliable, and truly enjoy creating a warm and nurturing environment where children can grow and feel supported. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing activities, or simply being a caring presence, I am committed to supporting families in the best way possible. I am available on weekends and during evenings throughout the week. References are available upon request—feel free to reach out!
Hi! I’m Melissa, a 27 year old longtime babysitter, newly back in the U.S. after three years in London. I’ve been babysitting for over 10 years, with experience ranging from toddlers to early teens. I first became the go-to sitter in my neighborhood growing up in Philadelphia, and word quickly spread - my parents’ coworkers started calling on me too! Over the years, I’ve also taken on pet-sitting duties for both dogs and cats, sometimes for a few days and other times for several weeks at a time. I’m responsible, communicative, and deeply respectful of the routines and values that matter to each family. Whether it’s about technology rules, food habits, learning styles, or anything else, I believe it’s important to honor the tone and philosophy of the household I’m stepping into. Outside of babysitting, I’m a young professional who recently moved back from London to pursue a career pivot from a finance job into music (one of my lifelong passions). I am also currently getting ready to move into my first solo apartment (big milestone!), and I’m looking to make some extra income doing something I genuinely love: supporting families and spending time with kids. If you’re looking for someone warm, reliable, and adaptable with a global perspective (and a big appetite for fun!) I’d love to connect.
Hi I'm Maggie! I'm new to NYC but have nannied on and off throughout the last 8 years. My experience ranges from infants <6 months old to kids approaching teenage years. A little about me: I love to be outdoors, and love your go-to babysitter for fun, safe, and reliable care! I love helping families by creating a warm and engaging environment for their little ones. Whether it's reading stories, playing games, or outdoor adventures, I’m all about making sure kids are entertained while staying safe and happy. I’m CPR certified, and I'm comfortable with multiple children, pets, etc. I take pride in being punctual, responsible, and communicative. Parents love knowing that their children are in good hands, and I always make sure to keep the lines of communication open! I can provide a variety of services, from casual babysitting to regular weekly hours, and I’m also open to light housekeeping or meal prep if needed. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to discuss how I can help your family!
Hello! I'm Isabella! I am a compassionate and experienced caregiver with a genuine love for nurturing and supporting children.

It would be an honor to be a part of your caregiving journey and make a positive difference in your kid's lives!
I’m a nursing student with a strong sense of care and responsibility. I’ve helped raise my younger siblings and nephews, and I’ve also cared for children with autism. Families can count on me to be patient, inclusive, and reliable while creating a safe, supportive space for every child. *AHA CPR Certification*

"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!"
