Find an emergency babysitter in New York, NY

Hello!! I have 12 years of childcare experience with 4 of those years spent as a full-time nanny and 1 of them as a house/nanny-manager. I have experience with children ages 3 months-13 years. I prioritize safety and love to be a hands on caretaker. My favorite activities with children include reading, arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, teaching dance (I'm a dance teacher!), and encouraging creativity through fun, engaging activities. I also have experience with household management, including running errands, meal prep and cooking, laundry, light housekeeping, dog walking, and home organization. I also have experience with morning roles in getting kids ready for school/daycare in addition to transport before and after school/camps. I am recently Red Cross CPR certified. I currently work at Paul Taylor Dance Company in the education sector. I have a bachelors degree in marketing from the University of Colorado Boulder Leeds School of Business. In my free time, I love to take dance classes, create art, play with my cat, thrift, and spend time exploring the city!

I am currently a rising junior at the University of Southern California and want to go into the public relations field. I started babysitting at the age of 14, and love immersing myself into the imaginations of the children I watch over - whether it’s building train tracks or dreaming of an entire piano concert. I have experience dropping children off at extracurricular activities, playing games and coloring, helping with homework, bedtime routines, cooking, and cleaning kitchens/residual messes. I also spent a semester as a student teacher for a class of 5-year-olds, where I helped teach math and worked one-on-one with students who needed extra attention. In this role, I helped discipline the children while encouraging them to become bright, passionate young learners. In my personal time, I love reading and going for walks around the city, but most especially I love trying new ice cream spots :)

Hi! My name is Maia, and I’m a 25-year-old NYU graduate with a heartfelt commitment to nurturing fun, meaningful learning experiences for children in NYC. For the past two years, I’ve worked as a Public Programs Educator at the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, where I engage school-age children through hands-on, creative, and educational activities. I lead arts and crafts projects, early engineering activities, and movement and music exercises, always encouraging children to explore their creativity, curiosity, and confidence. This experience allows me to adapt to each child’s learning needs and interests in a playful, structured way. I’m warm, patient, energetic, and dependable, and I love finding creative ways to make everyday moments exciting—whether that means doing a craft project, heading outside for an adventure, helping with homework, or simply enjoying a favorite game together. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident in the person caring for their children, and I strive to be someone families can truly rely on. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and make your children feel happy, safe, and supported!

I have worked as a camp counselor and have babysat children ages 4-11 before. I also foster kittens, and have lots of experience with cats. I have owned dogs before as well.

Hi! My name is Olivia and I am currently a first year grad student at NYU.
