I’ve helped care for my three nieces my whole life and have babysat for multiple families, both long- and short-term, since I was 14. I’m patient, loving, and compassionate, and I truly enjoy kids’ company. I’m a strong leader who’s fun while keeping your child safe, happy, and supported.
My name is Myleah and I’m a 19 yo sophomore at NYU. I am so excited to work with you and your family! Child care is my passion, so any child in my care will be treated as so. I’ve been babysitting for 3 years and was a camp counselor in 2025. I have experience working with infants-14year olds, so I’m open to all! My favorite activity to do with children is play pretend, crafts, dancing, and singing! I’m also open to sports and cater to children’s special interests. I can help tutor, cook, paint, etc! I am CPR and First Aid Trained, as well as a mandated reporter.
“We have had Myleah in our family a couple times and she’s been an amazing and reliable babysitter for us. My little ones love her. She arrives on time and asks many needed questions to give my kids the best care. She is dependent and trustworthy. In addition, my kids have great time with her and she even helps around the house and helps kids with homework. Overall very great.”
Hi! I moved to New York in February from NC. I have 10 years of childcare experience, ranging from being a camp counselor to being a full time nanny for the past 7 years. I have experience working with infants, toddlers, and elementary school aged children. I enjoy engaging children in developmentally appropriate play, reading books, and taking trips to local parks, libraries, museums, and classes. I am happy to provide you with a list of references upon request. Looking forward to meeting you!
“If you are searching for the absolute best childcare provider in the city, Emma is the one you are looking for. She is a true expert on all things New York and a consummate professional. Let me set the scene for you. It was Erin’s birthday, and I was in the middle of pulling off a massive surprise to celebrate her special day. However, as any parent knows, even the most carefully orchestrated plans can completely unravel in an instant. I desperately needed to finalize the last few critical details of the birthday surprise, and I simply could not do it without immediate, reliable childcare assistance. I sent out a last-minute serving request for help, feeling completely panicked about the situation. Enter Emma. When I say she dropped everything to help our family, I mean it quite literally. She responded instantly to our urgent plea and sprinted to our location to bail me out. She did not just arrive on time; she made it to us even earlier than expected! From the moment she walked through the door, she brought a wave of calm, capable energy that immediately put my stressed mind at ease. I knew right away that my family was in the best possible hands, and I was finally able to step away to perfectly execute the surprise for Erin without a single worry. But Emma did not just sit back and passively watch the children; she actively engaged them and turned an ordinary afternoon into an unforgettable adventure. She took Madison and Michael out into the city, giving them a personalized, expertly guided tour of mid-town Manhattan. Because Emma is a true New York aficionado, she didn't just walk them around the nearest block. She showed them the absolute magic of the city through the eyes of a local expert, navigating the bustling streets with ease and keeping them thoroughly entertained, safe, and incredibly happy the entire time. When I finally reunited with them later that evening, the kids were absolutely glowing with excitement. They could not stop talking about how much fun they had exploring mid-town with her. They explicitly declared that Emma instantly became the best babysitter they have ever had. Their words, not mine! To win over Madison and Michael that quickly and completely is a true testament to Emma's incredible warmth, boundless creativity, and genuine skill with children. We are so immensely grateful for her dedication and her incredibly swift response when we needed her most. She genuinely saved the day! Hire her and you ent regret it!”
Hi! My name is Alexa and I’m a responsible, caring, and reliable babysitter with a genuine love for working with children. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and happy. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on each child’s individual needs. I love engaging children in age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, games, and outdoor play, while always prioritizing their safety and well-being. Families describe me as trustworthy, warm, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and at ease when leaving their children in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your little ones!
Hi! My name is Ariana and I’m a responsible and energetic caregiver with years of hands-on experience working with kids in a variety of settings. I’ve spent summers at a relaxed arts and crafts camp for children ages 7–13, leading creative projects, outdoor games, and group activities. I’ve also coached youth soccer for kids ages 3–12, focusing on teamwork, fun, and skill-building. During high school, I worked as a certified lifeguard for four years, which taught me strong safety awareness and emergency readiness — qualities I bring to every caregiving role. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve regularly cared for younger family members and love connecting with kids through creativity, sports, and play. I’m currently finishing my degree at Barnard College of Columbia University, where I’ve continued to nurture my love for learning and teaching. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or just being a calm and supportive presence, I aim to make kids feel safe, seen, and engaged. Above all, I strive to be as helpful as possible to the families I work with. I’m dependable, patient, and always ready to support in whatever way I can.

"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!"
