Greetings Everyone, my name is Sacnitec. I previously attended John Jay College of Criminal Justice. I majored in criminology. I am currently working as a paralegal for the New York City Law Department. I have been working with kids since I was 15 and have loved it ever since. I started off by working as a camp counselor. Over the last few years I have worked as a nanny full-time, part-time and occasionally. I have also worked as an assistant teacher at the Brooklyn Preschool of Science. I love getting crafty and hands on with kids! During my free time I like to workout and play soccer. I love pets. I am both a cat and dog mom! P.S. I will be unavailable to babysit May11- May24.
Hello NYC (and traveling) Families, I have 17+ years of childcare experience, including several years working in NYC charter schools. I am currently attending graduate school full-time. I'm CPR/AED and First Aid certified and up to date on all immunizations. What I love most about childcare is helping children build confidence, develop new skills, and discover their interests. In my free time, I enjoy reading, trying new restaurants, hiking, and traveling. If you have any questions, feel free to message me or schedule a FaceTime. Happy to connect! :)
Hello, parents! My name is Sara. I am a nanny and early childhood educator with nearly 20 years of experience in private childcare. I live near Prospect Park in Brooklyn and work full time with a family on the UWS. I’ve been their nanny for the past 10 years. I studied music therapy at Berklee College of Music with an emphasis on early childhood development and child psychology. While working towards my degree, I taught in the two year old and three year old programs in a local preschool, and served as the music director at a Boston Gymboree. I am a huge believer in child-led play, respectful discipline, and nourishing the imagination. I have availability for babysitting on weekends, late nights, and occasionally when my nanny family travels. I try to keep my calendar up to date to reflect open availability. If you have any questions, please feel free to message!
“Sara was great; she communicated well, solved problems proactively, and had an ease and confidence with our 15-month-old that made for a stress-free night out. Her years of experience are evident. Would definitely rehire.”

"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."
