Hi! My name is Abeer, and I’m currently an Optician student at City Tech. I’m offering reliable and caring childcare services. I’ve been babysitting since middle school and genuinely enjoy spending time with children. As a single mom myself, I understand the joys and challenges that come with caring for kids and keeping them happy, safe, and engaged throughout the day. I enjoy cooking, tutoring, and doing fun arts and crafts activities with children. I also have a valid driver’s license and can assist with transportation if needed. I’d love the opportunity to provide a safe, caring, and enjoyable environment for your little ones! 😊
I’m Fantia Jn Louis I am a caring, patient, and responsible person who enjoys helping others. I have 2 years of experience working with an agency and I hold HHA and PCA certificates. I have experience caring for both children and seniors, helping with daily activities, meals, and maintaining a clean and safe environment. I am reliable, attentive, and still currently working as a caregiver. I enjoy making sure the people I care for feel comfortable, safe, and supported every day.

Greetings Everyone, my name is Sacnitec. I previously attended John Jay College of Criminal Justice. I majored in criminology. I am currently working as a paralegal for the New York City Law Department. I have been working with kids since I was 15 and have loved it ever since. I started off by working as a camp counselor. Over the last few years I have worked as a nanny full-time, part-time and occasionally. I have also worked as an assistant teacher at the Brooklyn Preschool of Science. I love getting crafty and hands on with kids! During my free time I like to workout and play soccer. I love pets. I am both a cat and dog mom! P.S. I will be unavailable to babysit May11- May24.
“Professional, super sweet and overall really a great babysitter !! Highly recommend her. ”
Greetings! Mature, reliable, caring, and attentive Nursing professional available with own transportation. Perfect for Out-of-town Guests! I've been a Pediatric Nurse for over 35 years, in several major NYC children's Hospitals, specializing in Infant/Toddler, NICU, and PICU. My latest degree is PhD-Nursing. I am fingerprinted and background checked because I volunteer with foster children. I'm smoke-free, pet -free (but love pets), perfume-free, and have had my COVID, Tdap, flu & pneumococcal shots, so your child with respiratory sensitivities will be safe with me. Now a Full-Time Tenured Pediatric Nursing professor, I really enjoy being around healthy children, and am also available to sit your ill or medically fragile children. I not only know Pediatric CPR, but have successfully performed it multiple times in the ICU. I have RN and PNP licenses in NY and NJ. Having worked at a major Jewish hospital, I also learned how to keep your household Kosher, if needed. I love babysitting, and have always enjoyed caring for children in their own home. My friends have 10 kids and I'm the only person they will leave them all with - especially for the weekend! And yes - happy to show you an ID, a valid COVID Excelsior Pass, and BLS, First Aid & PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) cards (all valid until July 2023).Your kids are SAFE with me! Education - PhD - Nursing- CUNY Graduate Center, Pediatric NP - Adelphi University, MS Nursing - College of New Rochelle, BS Nursing - University of Connecticut (Go Huskies!!) During the academic year, my primary daytime commitment is to my students, so I am NOT usually available during the day (unless I have specifically applied for your job.)
“Susan helped us with puppy sitting during some of my work travel. She was professional and flexible with scheduling and kind and patient with our brand new pup, who is still very young and needy. We would recommend her to anyone and would definitely use her again.”

"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!"
