Hello! My name is Lana, and I am an experienced and reliable babysitter with over ten years of childcare experience. I genuinely care for children’s well-being — both physically and emotionally. Families would describe me as engaging, patient, and warm, and my goal is to create a fun and safe environment for children to thrive. I originally came to the United States as an au pair, which expanded my prior childcare experience and gave me valuable opportunities to work with children of different ages, including caring for multiple children at once. Beyond childcare, I am happy to assist with light household tasks, homework help, meal preparation, and pet care. I am also bilingual in English and Portuguese, which I love incorporating into my time with children when appropriate. Additionally, I have working comprehension of Spanish and am also beginning to learn American Sign Language. I enjoy incorporating creative play, reading, and outdoor activities into my time with kids, and I value building trusting relationships with both children and parents. As a junior at Columbia, I am currently looking for part-time positions. I am open to occasional opportunities, but I cannot accommodate full-time positions.

I have several years of childcare and child development experience through volunteer, leadership, and internship roles. As Head of the Junior Committee at The Child Development Centre, I helped support teaching, structured activities, and volunteer training for children with special education needs. I also completed a Developmental Psychology Internship there, where I observed clinical psychologists, speech-language therapists, occupational therapists, and SEN teachers, and helped with child assessment materials. Additionally, I have volunteered at Saviour Lutheran School, assisting with English instruction and educational activities for underprivileged children with developmental and cognitive disabilities. These experiences have made me patient, attentive, and comfortable supporting children with different learning styles and needs.

Hello all! My name is Oumou (oo-moo-) I have 4 years of experience caring for infants through school age children. I've worked with twin infants, spent time in the infant room at a daycare, and cared for children with special needs. I'm CPR certified and comfortable handling daily routines like feeding schedules, nap times, diaper changes, and meal prep.

Hi families! 😊 My name is Zulay, I’m 21 years old and I’m currently working as a nanny. I have experience taking care of children of different ages, and I truly enjoy spending time with them in a safe, fun, and loving environment. I’m responsible, patient, and creative. I love planning activities like arts and crafts, outdoor play, reading, and helping with homework. I also speak Spanish (native) and English, so I can support bilingual learning if needed.

I’m available on weekends and some evenings. I would love to help your family! Feel free to message me 😊

I have always loved working with kids, which inspired me to study and graduate as a psychologist. With over 5 years of experience as an elementary teacher, I have developed strong skills in childcare, education, and creating a nurturing environment. I am passionate about fostering creativity, supporting emotional growth, and ensuring a safe, engaging experience for children of all ages. Additionally, I have a deep love for animals, which further reflects my caring and compassionate nature.
