Hi, my name is Adriana and I am an elementary school teacher on the Upper East Side. I just finished my 6th year of teaching and I have experience teaching 3rd-5th grade. My experience with working with children ages 4-14 dates back to when I was in high school when I taught dance classes at my dance studio. I also worked as a camp counselor at a 7 week sleep away camp in Maine for three summers during college. I love babysitting and tutoring kids between the ages of 4 and 14.
looking to sit on some kitties for some scratch ;) I’m well experienced with cats, no experience with children so please do not try to hire me to look after your offspring. Only cats. No dogs, nothing against them, just don’t know where to begin taking care of a domesticated wolf. Cats are fine by me. Open to birds as well
“Perfect service as usual.”
Hi! My name is Sivan, and I'm a recent Hunter College graduate. I have 14 nieces and nephews so I have been caring for children ever since I was young. I worked as a daycare substitute from 2[removed] and as a lifeguard in the summers, and nannied 2021-22. From 2022-2023 I worked full time at a day school before returning to college full-time. I graduate in the spring and am looking for part-time nannying that may potentially become full-time post graduation. Most of my experience is with newborns to age 4, but I have cared for children ages 6-11 in the past. I don't mind light housekeeping, pet care, and cooking, and am able to do school drop-off and pickup. I believe in honesty and communication with both parents and children.

"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
