Hello! I am an experienced caregiver with years of experience working with children ages 0-12. I'd love to explore the city and do crafts with your kiddos, as well as help out with reading and homework! I have experience caring for many children, including those with special needs and those who have experienced ACEs. I'd love to contribute to your children's enrichment with fun, sensitivity, and curiosity!
Hi! My name is Leah, and I'm a 24-year-old Brooklyn-based caregiver currently preparing to start law school. I'm seeking part-time childcare work over the summer and would love to support a family during this time. I bring over six years of childcare experience, including working as an overnight camp counselor, supporting children with special needs, and providing tutoring across various subjects. These roles have helped me develop patience, creativity, and strong communication skills, as well as the ability to adapt to each child's unique personality and needs. My schedule is very flexible throughout the summer, and I'm happy to work with families to find a routine that fits best. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with the children I care for and creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment. I look forward to chatting with you and seeing if I would be a great fit for your family's needs!

Hello! My name is Sienna. I’m a recent graduate from the UPenn and am an oncology nurse here in NYC. I work with the adult population in the hospital, but I’ve always loved working with kids. I was a babysitter for 2 years in high school, and I also worked in a children’s hospital throughout my time in undergrad. I’m attentive, detail oriented, patient, and especially love being playful with kids. I'm comfortable with a variety of tasks, from arts and crafts to tutoring to accompanying kids to their extracurriculars. I’m also an avid cook and baker outside of my full time job and would be more than happy to bring those skills to your family as well! On top of that, I am CPR certified and happy to provide care if your child has any medical needs. I am allergic to cats but am happy to work with families with dogs!
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.

"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."
