Hello there, I am a licensed occupational therapist with over 10 years experience working with children and older adults. I have previously worked in a daycare for four years and have worked privately with two children. I also work as a night nanny supporting moms to take care of their newborns. I love working with children and am very attentive to their needs.
Hello! My name is Maya. I have 12 years of paid experience, and am CPR certified. I am fully vaccinated and have received both my Bachelor’s and Master's degree. I work full time but have flexibility during the week and weekends! I have experience with all ages, including infants, and multiple kids. I can prepare simple meals, tidy up, and open to discuss other tasks. I am a friendly, attentive, kind, caring, and experienced babysitter and would love to help your family! Thanks!
Hello! My name is Micaela, I'm a 29 old year working in the arts, but am seeking more work in childcare. I’m a graduate from UC Berkeley where I studied English Literature and minored in Journalism. I'm very experienced with babysitting kids ranging from 1-10 years old, and have also worked with many toddlers while working as an assistant preschool teacher and was also a nanny to three kids ages 5-8 in Bed Stuy for two years. I currently reside in Ridgewood, Queens. Please let me know if you're interested and feel free to ask me any questions you might have. Hope to hear from you!
Hi guys, I have my BSN in nursing currently studying for my license. I have babysat for over 7 years personally but worked with kids for 9 years since I worked in summer camps. EXPERIENCES: I have worked in clinical settings with children such as pediatrics and NICU. But I also have experience with children with autism and ADHD for over 4 years. I have also worked with children that have diabetes. I understand that patience, caring and love is key. I want each child to feel safe and have the space to grow. I am CPR certified and have availability throughout the day. I am also willing to do last minute bookings! During the last couple of months we have all needed a break, feel free to message me for a date night or when you need some extra help while working. I love playing board games and building buildings with connective blocks! I currently have experience with a 3 year-old. I am accustom to picking up the child from school and taking her to activities. I love encouraging children to be who they want to be. For instance, if a child wants to be creative or sporty we will either spend the day painting or go an adventure through the park. I have also had experience working with a 5 year old who was very active. I can range with different ages of children because I have experience of working with children in an urban environment. The children were able to explore nature and it’s beauty. I try my best to enforce the safest environment possible with both the child and the parent. I have worked with parents usually for the long term but am looking for occasional gigs. A fun fact about me is that I have played and taught basketball, tennis and was a volunteer soccer assistant with the ages groups of 7-13. I also love to play board games and carry an Uno deck of cards for when I babysit with older kids. Will gladly do phone interviews and in person interviews. I also drive so don’t mind staying out late if you needed extra time! Feel free to message me for same day jobs! Thank you for your time
Hi families, My name is Sophia, I am a 25-year-old experienced nanny with a bachelor's degree in International Business. I am offering child care, pet care, senior care, and household services. During my time in college, I discovered I am a people person and love to be around kids. This made me volunteer as a teacher and start my journey working as a nanny even though I have accumulated some experience since I was even younger. I have always cared for children of all ages, from newborns to school-age kids. I am CPR certified with years of experience as a nanny. You can trust that your kids are going to be in good hands. I am very responsible, I always show up on time, and I have special care for kids. I hope I can be considered, and we can have a conversation. I would love to hear from you soon. Best regards, Sophia
“Sophia was great with our 3 year old daughter and very punctual and responsive! ”

"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!"
