Hi – My name is Madeline and I’m a college graduate currently based in New York. I am offering child care, pet care, and household help. I love working with kids and have experience babysitting infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’m creative, patient, and love doing crafts, reading, and outdoor play. I’m also happy to help with homework or school pickups. I’ve supported busy families with cooking, organizing, errands, and light cleaning. I’m detail-oriented and love bringing calm to a busy home. I’m great with animals and have no allergies, so I'm happy to help with walks, feedings, and playtime.
Hi! I’m Laura, a 35-year-old bilingual (Spanish/English) caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children ages 4 to 13. I hold a degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education, and I’m both CPR and First Aid certified. With a strong background in child development and classroom structure, I create safe, engaging, and age-appropriate experiences — whether it’s helping with homework, organizing creative play, or supporting routines like bedtime or mealtime. I'm patient, responsible, and truly enjoy supporting each child’s unique personality and learning style. I’m available Monday through Friday, mornings to evenings, and also some weekends as needed. I’d be happy to provide references and talk more about how I can support your family. Looking forward to connecting!
Hi! My name is Willow and I am a recent grad from NYU. I have some babysitting experience for other families in high school, but most of my experience is with my younger brother from the ages of 0-4. Responsibilities include running errands, outdoor time, crafting, cooking, cleaning the house, and bedtime. I am flexible, warm and patient. Right now I am working part time at Brooklinen, where much of my focus is on making sure people feel welcome. I love meeting new people, and work great one-on-one. Outside of customer service, my job is to maintain a clean and comfortable space. I am calm, flexible, and comfortable balancing interaction with organizational tasks. I also have dog and cat sitting experience. I have had pets my whole life- I love animals and am very comfortable with their care. I have experience with nannying for senior cats over an extended period, and am comfortable with feeding, changing litter, giving medication and playing. With my own dogs, I am comfortable walking them daily, and taking care of hygiene such as teeth brushing and hair brushing.
Hi! My name is Irine and I'm a graduate student at Pratt Institute. I'm offering child care and tutoring. I've done childcare work, as well as worked with NYC elementary and middle school students, and in creative summer camp settings. My responsibilities have included helping with homework, making snacks, arts and crafts, creating activities and more.
Hello! My name is Ava and I have quite a bit of nannying and babysitting experience! I am 22 years old and began seriously nannying when I was 17. However, the real babysitting started when my two little brothers were born and I gained newborn and early childhood experience through them. I have helped numerous families and absolutely love children. I am energetic and uplifting and love to adventure with the children or stick to a successful routine! I live in the East Village area but can commute if needed. I am experienced in all ages, and can do overnight as well!
“Ava has beautiful warm energy and a fun spirit that inspired my girls to begin hugging her almost immediately upon meeting and made me feel very comfortable with my choice of her as a sitter. She took them out to dinner and shopping in SoHo and checked in regularly and, most remarkably (given time change since we are traveling), had them asleep by the time we returned from dinner. 💖”

"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."
Theresa M., parent
