Hi there! I am 23 years old living in NYC working in advertising, looking for babysitting opportunities. I have extensive babysitting experience with children whose ages range from infants to teenagers. I am CPR certified and majored in Human Development and Family Science at Syracuse University where I focused on child development and worked at an afterschool program for underprivileged children for the entirety of my senior year. During my time at Syracuse I was also a member of the division 1 women’s lacrosse team. I love to bake, read, run, and I love kids!
Hi, I am Yuka and I’m a dance educator based in NYC. I have over 15 years of experience teaching dance for kids (ages 4-17) I love animals, especially cats!
Hi! My name is Sierra, and I am a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of The Arts Drama program (2024) with experience with caring for children from 1-10 years of age in the past. I’m now a professional actor and filmmaker on top of providing childcare. I have previously worked as a tour guide for my hometown's history museum which worked primarily with school groups. Thus, I have a lot of experience with large groups of elementary aged children. I have also performed children's theatre in the past. I am proud to be from a teaching family—with family members who work in the Department of Education in CA, public school teaching, and are professors at top universities around the world. Similarly, I have provided ACT and SAT English instruction in the past for high school students and scored a 34 in English and a 35 in Reading on the ACT. Including my theatre experience, I also speak Mandarin (intermediate). My hobbies include film photography, cooking (I was an apprentice at a two-star Michelin restaurant), hiking, exploring historical sites, and studying philosophy. I believe in the importance in helping nurture a child's empathy and their skills to later be a fully functioning adult. I believe that it is more important than ever for children to be able to express themselves and have someone to listen to them. I would be happy and honored to be someone who can help your child feel heard. I hope that in turn it would inspire them to be someone who reaches out to others as well.
Hi! My name is Kat! I’m 28 years old and based in Manhattan. I was born and raised in Manhattan and currently live in the financial district. I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology from George Washington University and am a former Division I athlete. These experiences have shaped the way I care for children, with an emphasis on patience, empathy and consistency. I have been nannying throughout my life, with my most recent position lasting four years. I worked part-time, five days a week, with a family of three children ages 6, 8, and 10, and became a steady, trusted presence in their daily lives. From helping with homework and daily routines to offering emotional support and encouragement, I truly enjoyed being part of their growth. The family has since relocated, and I am now excited to find a new family where I can build a similar long-term connection! In addition to childcare, I’m a music producer and songwriter, which allows me to bring creativity, joy, and calm energy into the home. I’m someone who leads with kindness, listens closely, and values creating a safe, supportive, and loving environment where children feel seen and cared for. I am currently open to either a full-time or part-time nanny position and would love the opportunity to become a dependable and caring support for your family.

"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!"
