I am a recent college graduate who loves working with children, spending time outdoors, and supporting families in my community! I have been nannying consistently throughout college and beyond, and I genuinely enjoy building relationships with children and helping create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them.

Special Needs Experience: I have extensive experience working with children with special needs and feel very confident supporting children with a variety of abilities and challenges. I have worked as an aquatic therapist and taught swim lessons to children with various disabilities. In high school, I also served as a social coach, helping students with homework, social skills, and job skills.

I gained valuable cleaning and organizational experience while working in a women's locker room at a fitness club, where I was responsible for maintaining a clean and welcoming environment.

Hi! My name is Joy and I’m a college student at NYU studying Economics! I am a non-smoker and CPR, AED, Basic Life Support Certified. I have a little sister who’s 12 and I have taken care of her — driving her to and from lessons, going on walks with her, and generally enjoying time whenever I am home from school. I also have experience with grade school aged children and toddlers. I love being around children and their joyful energy is always amazing. I am a flexible babysitter and will treat all kids with the utmost respect and provide quality care. Over high school summers, I was an outdoor pool lifeguard (International Lifeguard Training Program & American Red Cross trained), and I am comfortable with CPR & AED responsibilities.

I'm Camila, new to NYC and looking for babysitter opportunities! I'm a caring and experienced babysitter with a strong background working with children of all ages. I've been babysitting for years, including supporting a child with special needs, and I'm comfortable adapting to different needs and personalities. I've also worked as a Spanish teacher for kids, which I love incorporating into fun, engaging activities, and have experience in a daycare setting managing multiple children at once. I love working with children even in my professional career, where I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with child actors, producing, directing, and helping them train their performance. This has strengthened my ability to guide kids with patience, creativity, and structure. I can care for dogs/cats and light housekeeping and organizational tasks and errands. I'm patient, reliable, and truly enjoy creating a safe, positive environment where kids can learn and have fun.

Hi, I’m Kate! I am a first-year Masters in Social Work student at NYU living in Brooklyn. I graduated from Vanderbilt in 2021 with a degree in Cognitive Studies and African-American and Diaspora Studies.
