Kat $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kat! I’m 28 years old and based in Manhattan. I was born and raised in Manhattan and currently live in the financial district. I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology from George Washington University and am a former Division I athlete. These experiences have shaped the way I care for children, with an emphasis on patience, empathy and consistency. I have been nannying throughout my life, with my most recent position lasting four years. I worked part-time, five days a week, with a family of three children ages 6, 8, and 10, and became a steady, trusted presence in their daily lives. From helping with homework and daily routines to offering emotional support and encouragement, I truly enjoyed being part of their growth. The family has since relocated, and I am now excited to find a new family where I can build a similar long-term connection! In addition to childcare, I’m a music producer and songwriter, which allows me to bring creativity, joy, and calm energy into the home. I’m someone who leads with kindness, listens closely, and values creating a safe, supportive, and loving environment where children feel seen and cared for. I am currently open to either a full-time or part-time nanny position and would love the opportunity to become a dependable and caring support for your family.

Daniela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Daniela and I am a professional, high-energy nanny with 3 years of paid experience caring for children of all ages. While I enjoy working with all stages of childhood, I have a special heart for toddlers. I love their curiosity and find great joy in creating fun, educational activities that help them reach their milestones. As a native Spanish speaker, I take pride in introducing children to a second language through songs and play-most of my previous kiddos were counting in Spanish within weeks! My goal is to provide parents with total peace of mind, knowing their little ones are in a safe, patient, and nurturing environment. I am highly organized, pet-friendly, a non-smoker. I look forward to meeting your family!

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in South Hackensack, NJ

I’m a 20 year old college student looking mainly for weekend work/ part time to help pay for school. I don’t have much paid experience but I have lots of personal experience. When I was younger my mom was a nanny and I was always her little assistant helping out with the kids she looked after ranging from ages 1-8. I also have a niece that I look after every now and then who just turned 4. Lastly throughout the week I work as a pediatric dental assistant so caring for kids comes naturally! If you have pets I have experience on caring for reptiles, cats and dogs. Cpr/ first aid/BLS certified: ✅ Meals and light housekeeping: ✅ Own transportation:✅

Myleah 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child

My name is Myleah and I’m a 19 yo sophomore at NYU. I am so excited to work with you and your family! Child care is my passion, so any child in my care will be treated as so. I’ve been babysitting for 3 years and was a camp counselor in 2025. I have experience working with infants-14year olds, so I’m open to all! My favorite activity to do with children is play pretend, crafts, dancing, and singing! I’m also open to sports and cater to children’s special interests. I can help tutor, cook, paint, etc! I am CPR and First Aid Trained, as well as a mandated reporter.

We have had Myleah in our family a couple times and she’s been an amazing and reliable babysitter for us. My little ones love her. She arrives on time and asks many needed questions to give my kids the best care. She is dependent and trustworthy. In addition, my kids have great time with her and she even helps around the house and helps kids with homework. Overall very great.
