Hi! My name is Olivia and I’m currently a sophomore at Pace University. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love babysitting, and have been doing so since the age of 14. I grew up watching my younger cousin, as well; so I have experience with children in all growth stages, ranging from toddler to preteen. My responsibilities in the past have included, getting to and from school safely, meal prep, crafts and playtime, outdoor activities, baking, and so much more! I have also been working part time in a nursing home, so I am very comfortable with senior care as well! Additionally, I’d love to run any errands you may have, cook, clean, etc. I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I’m also more than willing to watch your furry friends as well.
Hi! My name is Bayla. I offer childcare, pet care, and household services. I love working with kids! For the last year, I have been working for Reading Partners at an elementary school in Brooklyn, providing extra literacy support to students in grades K-5. This summer I am an assistant teacher at Wonderforest Preschool! I have experience with all age groups. I always center patience, enthusiasm, and understanding when working with kids. I love to allow kids to explore their natural curiosity and better understand who they are. I am looking for a role as an after-school nanny this school year, with flexibility in the afternoon hours. I also have pet care experience and can support with household work where necessary. I am happy to support your family in any way that I can!
Hi there, I’m Sanne (pronounced like sauna). I live in the west village of manhattan with my dog Beanie! I was laid off in May and am looking for a part time, date night/afternoons position while I look for another job. I’m great with kids and animals, I grew up playing sports so nothing I love more than playing outside! I’m also a big bookworm and will advocate for the library over the TV any day. I believe kids are smarter than we give them credit for and deserve a gentle, care free life. I also love to clean and have no problem helping keep things tidy. So if you’re looking for an extra set of hands, I’m happy to step in!
I have over 8 years of childcare experience across a variety of settings, including nannying, coaching, and working in children’s programming. Most recently, I worked as a Kids Club Attendant at the Four Seasons Orlando, where I design and lead engaging activities and games in a high-energy, luxury environment. I also spent three years working in retail at Walt Disney World, where I focused on creating memorable, engaging experiences for families and children. This strengthened my ability to connect quickly with kids and bring energy and positivity into every interaction. In addition, I have extensive coaching experience with both the Savannah Sharks and Upper Merion Allstars, where I led practices and taught tumbling classes. I also coached a cheer team for children with differing abilities, which was one of the most meaningful parts of my experience. It taught me how to adapt to individual needs, build confidence, and create an inclusive, supportive environment for every child.
Hi! I have experience babysitting ages 2 months - 10 years old, teaching 2-5th graders in public school, leading parent + child art workshops, and working with neurodivergent teens/young adults. My approach is characterized by patience, curiosity, and compassion. Some example tasks I usually do are meal prep, light housekeeping, school pickups or drop-off, homework help, and activities. I am also Adult and Pediatric AED, CPR, and First Aid certified. Hope to hear from you soon : )

"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!"
