Hi! I’m a mom of a loving almost 3-year-old toddler with plenty of hands-on experience caring for young children. I understand the importance of patience, safety, and creating a nurturing environment. I’m looking for a position where I can provide reliable, caring support for your little ones—just as I do for my own.

Stefanie $25 per hour for 1 child

NICU Registered Nurse with more than 20 years of experience caring for newborns, infants, and children. I specialize in newborn and infant care, including overnight newborn support, care for premature infants, and helping families adjust during the early weeks at home. As a mother of three and an experienced healthcare professional, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, calm, and dependable to care for your child. Families can feel confident knowing their children are in capable, experienced hands. I am available for date nights, occasional childcare, overnight newborn care, and recurring childcare needs. My hospital schedule varies, but I can often accommodate advance scheduling and ongoing arrangements. Outside of work, I enjoy horseback riding, gardening, and spending time with my family.

Hello families! I am a third grade teacher living in Brooklyn. I have been a full time teacher for ten years and have over fifteen years of experience working with elementary and middle school age children in classroom and home settings. I began working with children when I started babysitting my toddler twin cousins, and have worked in education and childcare for over ten years. I currently teach fourth grade in Brooklyn. I’ve previously taught first grade, third grade, and K-12 art therapy. I am excited to work with all ages of children, and love to engage in their favorite activities with them. Thanks so much for reading, I look forward to working with you! Best, Leanne

Hi! I'm Moni. I work in a flexible freelance role, and occasionally babysit and help with organizing spaces on the side when I'm free. I've always had a nuturing side from a young age from helping out my family with their kiddos and for many pets. I'm comfortable around all creatures- including farm animals and reptiles:) I have plenty experience caring for newborns to teens, and always encourage exploring their creativity, learning abilities, and talents in whatever it may be. I was a jazz/tap dancer at a younger age so I love dance. Plus hiking and cycling, DIY, gardening, music, cooking, theatre, painting, and organizing spaces. In my free time I volunteer at different organizations for youth and animals, and go to as many museums and road trips as I can. Note: I’m open to lower hourly/flat rate for pet/animal care, and able to help walk/feed/do check-ins/companion time for pets.

"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!"
