A little bit about me— my name is Maddie and I am 24 years old living on the Upper East Side. I am a full-time data analyst for the National Hockey League. I’ve played sports my entire life and continued to play club lacrosse through college. When I’m not working or being active, I absolutely love cooking! I have over 10 years of experience with children of all ages and needs. I have cared for infants, middle schoolers, and volunteered at special needs camps and after school programs. Some of my responsibilities have included: cooking, running errands, house chores, homework, zoo trips, science experiences, and (my personal favorite) pillow forts. Also, I am very pet-friendly (my family just got a puppy named Robin). I’m looking forward to getting to know your family!
High school teacher who previously worked as a life guard and swim teacher to children ages 3-15. I really enjoy connecting with children of all ages, whether it's hearing about the book they love, the new slang they're using or playing a board game with inventive rules.
Hi there! My name is Imani. I’ve worked in childcare for about five years and am currently studying Early Childhood Development to further my expertise. I’m also a summer camp counselor, which has taught me how to keep kids engaged and active. I’m known for my sweet, patient nature and my drive to successfully navigate any challenge that comes my way.
Hello everyone. My name is Camira and I’ve been around babies and animals my whole life. I’ve also worked in both a daycare and elementary school as a teachers aid. I love to connect with children through play, music, and laughter. I also enjoy being able to create safe and loving environments for them as well. I’m also a huge cat lover. I recently rescued two kittens, I’ve fostered two kittens, and grew up with my first cat Lucky. I’d love to add to your village and ease your mind during busy schedules.
Hi! My name is Liam. I'm a 23-year-old student at Columbia University, seeking to offer babysitting services to families. I’m a born and raised New Yorker and love exploring the city in my free time! I love babysitting, and thoroughly enjoy and am very comfortable interacting with children. I can assist in meal-preparation, transportation to and from school and various activities, assistance with homework, and general activities, as well as performing household chores or running errands. I am available early mornings and evenings, and am open to working late hours with room to be flexible. I’m very comfortable with pets! I love dogs and am comfortable working in an animal-friendly environment. I look forward to working with 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!"
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."
