looking to sit on some kitties for some scratch ;) I’m well experienced with cats, no experience with children so please do not try to hire me to look after your offspring. Only cats. No dogs, nothing against them, just don’t know where to begin taking care of a domesticated wolf. Cats are fine by me. Open to birds as well
“Perfect service as usual.”
Hi! My name is Sivan, and I'm a recent Hunter College graduate. I have 14 nieces and nephews so I have been caring for children ever since I was young. I worked as a daycare substitute from 2[removed] and as a lifeguard in the summers, and nannied 2021-22. From 2022-2023 I worked full time at a day school before returning to college full-time. I graduate in the spring and am looking for part-time nannying that may potentially become full-time post graduation. Most of my experience is with newborns to age 4, but I have cared for children ages 6-11 in the past. I don't mind light housekeeping, pet care, and cooking, and am able to do school drop-off and pickup. I believe in honesty and communication with both parents and children.
I am one of six and have been babysitting since I could watch my little siblings and cousins. I love kids and am now an aunt to a two-year-old. I spent the past year and a half as a nanny for a one-year-old. I am a graduate of the University of Michigan and am currently based in Clinton Hill. As a nanny, I also help keep the house tidy and help out with errands. I love to create fun games and engaging activities. I have received training in CPR and first aid.
Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’m 30 years old and have been working in special education for nearly 10 years. I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and am a proud San Jose State University alum, go Spartans! Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with children and teens ages 4 through 19. I began my career as an ABA therapist for children with autism, which led me to roles supporting various school districts by coordinating services and assisting students with special needs. My experience spans transitional kindergarten through high school, and in my earlier years, I also worked at summer camps and after-school programs. As the oldest of four siblings, caregiving has always been a natural part of my life. A little about me is I love to travel and explore new cultures! I’m also CPR and First Aid certified and available on evenings and weekends. Feel free to reach out. I’d love to support your family!

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
