I am a Pratt grad student with eight years of experience in nannying. I care for little ones ranging from 2 months old to 12 years old. I am CPR and First Aid for infants and adults. As a nanny, I support the family in tending to the children's basic needs and engage them in activities that promote their physical, emotional, and cognitive development. I like working with kids to alleviate pressures from parents & give them peace of mind as I help their children learn / reach milestones while ensuring they are safe. I'm looking for a job that allows me flexibility. Ideally M-F or date nights. Including a zoom meet & greet between us before I start.
Hello! A New York resident of 3+ years, I have recently pivoted from working a full time administrative job at a finance firm to doing freelance producing work in the New York theatre scene. I have always loved working with kids and have full confidence in my ability to provide high quality, creative, fun, and safe care for children. I recently renewed my CPR certification (2025) and have cared for children from 15 months to preteens. Happy to do light housework and cooking as well. Please let me know if you have any questions, I'd be happy to chat!
“Eliza was a delight. She had a great manner with my 16 month old and was easy to work with.”
My name is Begim I am offering child care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 15 years old. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks.
Hi there! My name is Katrina. I’ve been the go-to babysitter for my family and friends for many years, caring for children from 5 months to 9 years old since I was a teen. Working with kids has always come naturally to me, and I bring patience, structure, and a genuine love for what I do. I’m currently a Paraprofessional with the NYC Board of Education, in the Williamsburg neighborhood, where I work one-on-one with children in special education, including students with ADHD, autism, developmental delays, and speech disorders. I’ve supported preschool, kindergarten, first grade, second grade and Pre-K learners in a public school in Williamsburg. This gives me experience in behavior support, sensory needs, communication strategies, and helping children feel safe and understood. With me, your child will enjoy fun, engaging, and purposeful activities such as: • singing songs and movement games • days of the week & months routines • coloring, crafts, and hands-on activities • counting games and early learning skills • music, dancing, and story time • simple baking or kitchen fun (I’m a baking & pastry graduate!) My approach blends fun with structure, keeping children entertained while following their routines and respecting their individual needs. ✨ Availability: pickup, Summer days, occasional weekends, and DOE days off ✨ I’d love the opportunity to support your family and create a warm, safe, and joyful experience for your child.
“Katrina has been an amazing sitter to our two kids (and dog!) for many years. She's so sweet, very reliable, engaging and fun with the kids. She's thoughtful and comes up with fun activities, the kids love her and we consider her family. She is bright, warm and tidy.”
Hi there - My name is Jocelyn and I graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Neurobiology & Behavior and currently work in Pharma Advertising. I was a caretaker for 2 elderly folks thru college and have really been caring for newborns, toddlers, and young kiddos since I was 15, and now looking forward to caring for your loved one(s)! I love staying active, so there’s no doubt I’ll have energy to keep up with energies of all ranges. I’ve cared for kids only a few months old to 11years old (I’m a great tutor/homework helper btw!) and have also cared for elderly folks, managing a range of medical conditions, including Parkinson’s, MS, and Dementia. I’m also rather flexible, if you need help driving the kids around, making meals, or any other general help, consider me your gal! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to lmk. Looking forward to caring for your loved ones!

"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
