Hi! My name is Lois. I am nanny/babysitter with 10+ years of experience. I have worked with a wide range of families and age ranges from infants to pre-teens. This has equipped me with a quick mind and adaptability for any situation. I love to combine my love of theater and knowledge to create engaging activities for kids that allow them to not only learn but expand their sense of self expression . I have some prior experience working with kids with on the spectrum, and I am CPR and First Aid Certified. Excited to meet you!
“Our family was so lucky to find Lois! During a 6 month project Lois came in and provided my two children (6 and 9) with after school care. Lois is prompt, kind and efficient. She was flexible with my evolving schedule and able to accommodate us during the random days off during the school year. Lois is incredibly fun, energetic and full of fantastic imaginative ideas. Always ready to run in the sunshine with both kids at the park, she was equally adept at making a rainy day fun. She played with both my creative story loving younger child, and could effortlessly flip over to a fun competitive game of pokemon or chess with my older child. There was always music and laughter. They never wanted her to leave.”

Hi, my name is Mashiyat and I have been working with kids since I was 16 and have always enjoyed it. I worked my summers in high school at a science and engineering camp where I was a counselor for ages 5-7. I became early education and care certified in college when I was a teaching assistant for the on campus daycare primarily as an infant/toddler daycare teacher. In addition to providing direct care for the babies in my classroom, I also have experience working with infants as a medical assistant for a pediatrician’s office and worked directly with families at a children’s hospital to enroll them into clinical trials. Although I have mostly worked with infants and toddlers, I also have experience with kids of all age groups from summer camp or other previous babysitting positions.
Hi, I’m Kyundra! I’m 27 and have been working in and out of childcare since 2016. I’ve lived in NYC for the past five years and have loved every minute of getting to know families across the city. Since moving here, I’ve worked in several childcare settings including 4K classrooms with the DOE, after-school programs, and as a trusted babysitter for families with children of all ages. What I love most about working with kids is getting to know their unique personalities and finding ways to connect with each one. Whether it’s through creative play, helping with routines, or supporting learning and independence, I always strive to make children feel seen, supported, and safe. I’m also comfortable around pets (I have a sweet cat named Viola who keeps me company at home!) and I’m open to light household help. While I don’t have a personal car, I do have my license and am happy to travel by public transportation anywhere I’m needed. In my free time, you’ll usually find me hanging out with friends, watching movies, or spending time with Viola. I truly love what I do and would be so excited to get to know you and your family. Please feel free to message me with any questions, I’d love to connect!

"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!"
