Hi! My name is Sophia and I currently work at an advertising agency. I'm the eldest daughter of 5 kids and so taking care of others at all stages of life has been something I've grown up with. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have been babysitting for 12 years and nannied for 1 year and have enjoyed every opportunity I get to care for kids. I have experience with a wide range of age groups from infants to 12+ year olds. Families I have previously cared for say that I am kind, attentive, fun, compassionate, responsible, and always with a smile on my face. My responsibilities have included driving/to and from camps and swim lessons, crafts, and cooking. Some of my other skills include household services like cleaning. I was a paid cleaner for a year and in my personal life take pride in having a clean home. I also offer the services of running errands, laundry, and organizing. I have also had opportunities to care for a variety of pets - everything from dogs to cats to lizards to hamsters and more. My experience in pet sitting has involved walking, feeding, and playing with the animals.
Hello everyone! My name is Erica and I’m currently looking for my next family. I’m currently nanny to two sweet littles.. a just turned three year old boy and his fifteen month old sister. I’ve been a nanny for more than a decade and love it! I’m originally from Guyana and in worked in banking prior to becoming a nanny. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and have done the Cornell neurodivergent child training. I am outside everyday with the little ones.. most days we stay out all day. Or if we’re nearby, make a pit stop at the house and head right back out! Such fun! If you think I could be a great for your family don’t hesitate to reach out! Thank you!
I have been working with kids since I was 14. I have experience as an behavioral therapist with kids on the autism spectrum, as a professional nanny, and also as an intermittent babysitter. I've worked with kids age 0-15! I love kids and will bring a positive attitude and energetic spirit. I am a current Master's student at NYU silver school of social work looking for some part time babysitting opportunities.
I am a dedicated, intentional, fun and gentle personality with a deep love for children and a passion in serving and caring for others. Professionally, I have 5 years experience caring for little to medium humans from ages 1-17 in various roles like a babysitter, after school teacher and summer camp counselor. From homework help to fun engaging activities to genuine joy in care, I'm on it! I am also available for house and pet-sitting!

"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!"
