Hi! My name is Lakeya. I am currently in school for Early Childhood Education. I am CPR/First Aid Certified. I am also certified as a Newborn Care Specialist. I have my Certificate in Child Development. I strongly believe in open communication in order to avoid any problems & keep things going smoothly. If there is ever any kind of problem, I will feel comfortable to discuss it right away & I would love for the family to do the same. I have a very loving & nurturing character. I have a genuine and absolute love for children. Working with children is one thing that I absolutely love about my life. My main focus are your children. I do housekeeping, prepare meals, do laundry & anything related to taking care of your children. I enjoy being active & imaginative with kids. I love every thing from arts&crafts to dress up to museum trips & playing make believe. I engage with them by taking them to the park, museum, zoo, botanical garden, creating an art project, or reading a colorful book. I understand that each child is different & it is all about finding what works on an individual basis. I love being a part of helping children learn & grow. Interacting with kids in all activities is what I do best. Whether it's work time or play time, I am there & ready to be a part of it. I am fun-loving, reliable, enthusiastic, & compassionate. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family & friends, cooking, and reading. I am available to start immediately. I'm also available to work on the weekends, on-call, date nights, overnight, holidays, and vacations. I am also available on short notice and overtime.

I'm a master's graduate with more than 15 years of childcare experience (including my extensive time caring for my teenage brother and sister since they were infants!). Originally from Phoenix, I've also lived and babysat in Los Angeles, and would love to share my experience with your family here in New York! I'm also happy to assist with household chores, cooking, animal care, and other services along with babysitting.

Hello! I am an artist with my Master's of Fine Arts in Acting from Yale, mother of two school-age children, and I have lived in NYC for four years. I'm happy around shy or high-energy children. I love finding ways to reach them that make them feel accepted and in a trusting environment. I love imaginative play, keeping schedules, and helping with homework. Siblings are great, too! Looking forward to meeting you and your kiddos! I absolutely love working with children! When I lived in Texas, I founded a children's theatre camp in Texas for ages 5-18. I developed curriculum, managed scheduling and instructed every class. I have worked as a nanny for over a decade before having children of my own and now take part-time work. Some of my favorite jobs included two brothers, ages 4 and 11 who enjoyed playing adventure make-believe and basketball, respectively, who I nannied for 3 times a week for about a year before graduating. I also loved my time as a nanny for three brothers, ages 6, 9, and 12 who had packed schedules to keep after school: practicing piano, doing homework and playing soccer outdoors, who I watched for over a year. I will also never forget the family who lived in my building here in new york, whose daughters - ages 4 and newborn I watched at least once a week, sometimes more, sometimes just coming over to play and visit; ballet, painting, storytelling, and going on adventures full of imagination and play were all part of the itinerary - all while keeping to the required schedule for feeding and bedtime, of course. :) Most importantly, I have 3 siblings, including two younger brothers, both of whom I adore. I am older than the youngest by 7 years, so by the time I was 13 I not only began babysitting professionally but also proved both my responsibility and joy to play on a constant basis as I watched over my brothers. I have an 11 year old niece who is the apple of my eye. I was 16 when she was born, and my sister worked full time, so my primary job in high school was to come over after school and take over for my mom and watch my niece for the day, starting when she was a newborn to around 2.5 yrs old at 2-3 times a week for long afternoons until my sister came home. I absolutely loved it!

“Rachel seemed very sweet, caring, and professional. My daughter warmed to her right away! I'd definitely hire her again. ”

Booked by 6 families in Bellerose, NY

Hi! My name is Hanna, and I’ve always had a passion for working with children and I hope to be an elementary school social worker one day. I’m currently a college student studying Forensic Psychology at John Jay College, and I’ve spent the past few years supporting kids in both classroom and program settings. I’ve worked one-on-one with first graders, led small group activities in after-school programs, and even helped coordinate summer activities for children with autism and learning differences. I’m fluent in both English and Spanish, and I bring a lot of patience, energy, and creativity to every job. I’ve also taken care of toddlers in the past and love helping little ones learn, play, and feel safe. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or simply keeping things calm and fun at home, I’m here to support your family however I can!

“Hanna babysat our little one at our Airbnb while we went to a play. Our kiddo had a lot of fun and she sent us regular updates too. My kiddo clearly had a good time and I was happy to have her help! ”

"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!"
