Hello! My name is Shelley - I’m an experienced sitter/nanny and communications professional with a master’s in creative writing from Oxford. In my free time, I am a singer, performer, and avid fan of classic film. I've been involved in childcare from a very young age, including as a daytime nanny when I was working as an actress full-time, and an evening and weekends babysitter throughout college and beyond. I have experience with all ages, from infants to teens, and I have frequently worked with multiple children. I look forward to meeting you and your family!
“Shelley was great and my 2-year-old son took to her right away! Would definitely hire her again and would recommend!”
Hello families! I am a third grade teacher living in Brooklyn. I have been a full time teacher for ten years and have over fifteen years of experience working with elementary and middle school age children in classroom and home settings. I began working with children when I started babysitting my toddler twin cousins, and have worked in education and childcare for over ten years. I currently teach fourth grade in Brooklyn. I’ve previously taught first grade, third grade, and K-12 art therapy. I am excited to work with all ages of children, and love to engage in their favorite activities with them. Thanks so much for reading, I look forward to working with you! Best, Leanne
“Leanne was professional, reliable, and easy to talk to. She took great care of our daughter while we were visiting family. Would book her again anytime we’re in town!”
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! ”
Hi! My name is Nancy, and hopefully, I'll be your family's next babysitter. I live in Bed-Stuy and first moved to Brooklyn 10+ years ago. But, I was born and raised in Oakland, CA. I have grown up working in childcare environments. My mom is a preschool teacher for the Oakland Unified School District, so I've spent most of my life tagging along and assisting her in every aspect of her job - the curriculum, nutrition, or just fun time. Formerly, I was a full time nanny for a 3 month old til she was 18 months old and started Montessori. I’m particularly experienced with that age of development from bottle feeding, preparing homemade baby food, doing some family assistant, and more I am experienced babysitting for all ages, from newborns to preteens. My skills with children can be catered to your child and adapted to any environment. I have experience with families from the conscious Bay Area lifestyle to the alternatively fast-paced Los Angeles and New York clientele. (I've lived and babysat in all cities) I love children, and they love me. As a caretaker, I don't believe in being absent-minded or distant. Being introduced to new people can be difficult for children. It is best to make the transition easier through hands-on, enriching approaches such as games, creative activities, storytelling, field trips, etc. Plus, it helps that I can be just as silly as any kid! Skills - • College graduate with corporate work history •Can do light housecleaning and cooking - I'm a passionate cook and great with cleaning. •I'm fluent in Vietnamese - written and verbal. •Experienced with severe food allergies. •Very experienced taking on a household manager role and I have over two years of personal assistant experience. • I am experienced in the hospitality industry so that I can maintain a bright, hospitable attitude. I also plan great birthday parties! Examples of activities I would do with your kids: •Cooking - kids love making pizzas, helping me cook, trying new foods •Baking - baking or decorating with kids. Can be GF, Dairy free, refined sugar free •Crafts - puzzles, paintings, drawings, etc •Writing & drawing storybooks •Going to the park •Exploring a museum, exhibit, or children's focussed art/music studio As a professional, experienced, educated, warm, and bubbly babysitter, I would make an excellent choice for your kids! My personality is best expressed in person, so let's schedule an interview! Thanks for considering me!
“Highly recommend Nancy! She was great with our 20-month-old and stepped in with minimal direction, which was exactly what I needed. She's super responsive, showed solid judgment, asked thoughtful questions, and proved to be completely trustworthy while taking great initiative.”
With over a decade of experience in diverse household settings, I bring a versatile, positive approach to childcare. My background in social work and psychology, combined with extensive hands-on experience, allows me to understand and support all stages of childhood development. I'm passionate about creating nurturing environments that foster children's potential and imagination. In the kitchen, I love involving kids as my little sous chefs, preparing nutritious meals and snacks that cater to all ages and palates. My culinary expertise spans various cuisines, with a special fondness for Japanese, Chinese, Indian, and Middle Eastern flavors. Beyond childcare, I'm a certified doula and completed The Aura Institute's Pregnancy and Birth Practitioner training in 2023. This expertise allows me to support families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, focusing on holistic wellness and empowerment. As a certified yoga teacher, I bring a calm, balanced approach to my work, adapting to each family's unique needs and routines.
