Hello, my name is Iva; I am a 25-year-old NYU student (History/Econ Major), born in Zagreb, Croatia, and my favorite color is blue. I have been babysitting for the past three years, not including taking care of my sister, who is 10 years my junior. I have extensive experience with boys and girls ages 4 and up, and am competent with after school pickups and transport to activities, homework help, cooking, light housekeeping, and house sitting. Areas of homework help I am most comfortable with are History and English. I am currently looking for part-time, after-school work; I am flexible with travel, hourly rates, and date-night babysitting.
“Very friendly, kids liked her, will definitely have her back!”
I’m an experienced caretaker and housekeeper with a strong background in caring for children and adults both on and off the spectrum ( including diabetes, autism, and ADHD) Currently working as enrichment teacher at bilingual French speaking daycare center part-time. (2:45pm till 6pm weekdays) I’m CPR/First Aid certified and background checked (through the daycare system and urbansitter ). *Can provide proof of authenticity* Also enrolled to school for Early Childhood Education Bachelors birth-2nd grade starting in the fall. In addition to childcare, I offer house care cleaning services. I have a knack for cleaning and organizing from a young age and take great pride in doing every job—big or small—with care, efficiency, and attention to detail. I consider myself a patient, loving, and precise caregiver/housekeeper. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the services I offer, please feel free to reach out. I’d love to connect and set up an interview! Have a blessed one everyone.
**fully vaccinated, immune as of March 20** Hey, everyone, Andrew here. As we enter the new normal, I'd love to discuss your specific childcare needs. In addition to my usual balance of comedy and care, I'm invested in the crucially important health of your family. An actor by trade, I'm also looking at a summer and fall without work or auditions, so I have more availability than usual. Don't hesitate to reach out. I have 6 years of NYC babysitting experience, and I live off the ABCD at 145th. Express trains for the win! I am background-checked and trained in CPR and First Aid, and you can get a great sense of my work from the reviews here on my profile. I'm an actor by trade and lover of yoga, animals, plants, and I'll always pay extra for guac. My goal is to have a positive impact on a family's day--and maybe a child's outlook--and I love to encourage creativity and cooperation in kids of all ages. I'm sensitive to sibling dynamics thanks to my two siblings (also searchable on here--Laura and Tommy), and I'm engaging, patient, and eager to get out to a playground, park, or library. Please note that I also request 36 hours' notice of a cancellation or shortening of a booking. After the 36 hours, I request payment in full for--at minimum--the hours originally booked. Thanks very much for your understanding! For bookings ending 10pm or later, I request a car home or money to book a car myself--since the trains get so strange late at night. Thanks immensely for considering me--I look forward to hearing from you!
“Andrew was so good with my (sometimes fussy) 5-month old! Andrew helped out for a week and was a lifesaver. He has great energy, is comfortable with infants and is a joy to be around. Highly recommend Andrew!”
Hello, I am Jeanette! I tend to be a very active, adventurous, engaged, always on the go person. I have over 4 years of experience and hopefully more to come. I am currently studying to get my degree in early childhood education and possibly my masters afterwards. I have worked in a daycare that consist of children between the ages of 3-12. I assisted the teachers prepare for activities, cleaning, setting up their lunches and helped the older kids with their homework. I left for a bit to focus on my studies and returned to work a couple of months later. In the new place I was teaching children between the ages of 1-3. I was in charge of setting up the activities for each week. Helped them improve their fine motor skills and made sure they were reaching their milestones when they should. I communicated with the parents one on one and kept them updated on the school app. Where I informed them of everything from what they ate, what projects we were doing, when they slept and sent them adorable pictures of their children throughout the day! I left due to personal reasons which they understood. I hope to be able to work with a family that is very understanding and kind.
Hi I’m Valery 😊 I am passionate about health, exercise, and aspire to become a doctor! I am the eldest of 5 children, and have been babysitting for over 10 years. My experience ranges from newborns to high school students. I have administered medication, made meals, cleaned homes professionally, and driven children throughout NYC and NJ. I have tutoring experience as well. I am fluent in English and Spanish and am open to teach too! I am responsible, energetic, and punctual. I have my own car and a clean driving record. I look forward to meeting you and your family! *upon booking, you agree to honor the full duration of the booking and compensate me accordingly, regardless of whether your return is earlier or later than initially planned.*

"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."
Theresa M., parent
