Hello families! My name is Renae. I am 24 years old. Im currently in school for business management but I also work for a community based program that provides activities for children. Ive also been a camp counselor/ group leader for summer camps/ programs. Im mostly around kids ages 5-11, My favorite activities to do with kids are playing games ( UNO, connect four, mancala), doing arts and crafts, and reading. When I'm not working I enjoy making art and spending time with friends and family.
Hi there! I’m excited to share a bit about myself. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, rooted in my upbringing in a large Mexican family. As the oldest cousin on both sides, I've been surrounded by kids my whole life. My mom is one of seven, which means I have 25 cousins on her side alone, plus 8 more on my dad’s side! Growing up in this vibrant family environment instilled in me a deep love for caring for children. From babysitting my younger cousins to organizing fun activities, I’ve learned how to adapt to different personalities and needs. I believe that every child deserves a safe, nurturing, and fun atmosphere, and I strive to create that in every interaction. I’m passionate about fostering creativity, encouraging curiosity, and making lasting memories. I look forward to the opportunity to connect with your family!
Hi! My name is Sophie! Born and raised in Philadelphia and I just graduated from Boston University! I moved to the city to become an actor. I have a passion for youth education and I grew up the oldest of 17 younger cousins and spent my summers as a camp counselor at French Woods and Interlochen Arts Camp. I love babysitting and have been doing it since I was 17!
Hi, I’m Idil! I’m a recent Amherst College graduate and just moved back home to NYC (Bushwick). I’m looking for part time work while I study for the LSAT! I have plenty of babysitting (including multiple kids at once) and pet sitting experience! I love kids of all ages and pets of every kind. I’m always reliable, fun, communicative, and flexible! Happy to help out with errands, meal prep, and chores as needed. I also have a driver’s license, CPR+AED+ First Aid certification, and am extremely familiar with all NYC public transportation. I’m a massive geek at heart with a huge variety of interests and will very easily find something to bond with your kids over!
I have over 5 years of experience in preschool, after school settings with children varying from 2 to 17 years old. In home settings, I have provided childcare for more than 30 families with various needs from the ages of 9 months to 10 years old. Responsibilities included gentle wake ups or lengthy bedtime routines, preparing meals, travels to and from school or extra curricular activities, and more! I am also more than happy to assist with household chores and pet care! I have lived with and cared for both cats and dogs.
“Nadhira is the kind of person kids naturally light up around. She’s been caring for my son since he was three—he’s eleven now—and his reaction to her has never changed. She’s kind, responsible, and genuinely attentive to what a child needs in the moment. Peace of mind matters to me, and I feel completely at ease when Nadhira is caring for my son.”

"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."
