Hi! I’m Gabrielle. I’m an intern and recent graduate who just moved to NYC. I have experience with special needs children, and am comfortable with children over age 4. I’m down for homework help, arts and crafts, cooking, and anything the kids need! I’m also comfortable and have experience sitting for dogs and cats, including big dogs. I’m also comfortable helping out with errands, laundry, and organizing. I look forward to talking with you!
I’m a senior at NYU with a strong background in childcare and safety. I’m a certified lifeguard trained in CPR, First Aid, and emergency response, and I bring that same attentiveness and calm presence to caregiving. I’m responsible, patient, and engaging, with experience caring for children and pets. Families appreciate my reliability, clear communication, and punctuality.
Hi! My name is Ashley, and I am a 23-year-old Northwestern University graduate who has extensive experience in child care. As a previous full-time camp coordinator, tutor, children's dance instructor, and theatrical performer for young audiences, I love engaging with children and meeting them where they are at. I am very experienced with NYC public transportation, so I am able to do pick-ups and drop-offs at school, extracurriculars, playdates, etc. I am also super organized and clean, so taking care of household tasks is a plus!
Hi, my name is Marae and I love working with kids!! I've been babysitting for about 5 years now and out of all my jobs, it's always been my favorite:) Being the daughter of an elementary school teacher I was raised with a deep appreciation for peace + love, and I love keeping that cycle going! I'm open to all aspects of care-taking for children (including any special needs for neurodivergent children), except driving and changing diapers. I am also open to house-care such as grocery shopping, laundry, tidying up, etc. I am currently in college, so I don't have my degree yet but I'm working on it!
Originally from Buffalo, NY, I moved to Manhattan in 2024 to continue my education. I’m 25 years old and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a focus on Childhood Development from Nazareth College. After graduating in 2022, I spent two years working in a psychiatric facility supporting children with mental health needs, working with kids as young as 5 and up to 17 years old. Caring for children has always been something I genuinely love. During my earlier years in school, I also nannied for several families, gaining hands-on experience with infants as young as 2 months old as well as families with multiple children. These experiences have helped me develop patience, empathy, and a strong understanding of children at different developmental stages. In my free time, I love staying active and engaged with kids by playing soccer, exploring parks, and visiting museums. I’m also a big dog lover and am very comfortable around pets. I’m passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel supported and cared for.

"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
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
