Hi! I’m Izzy and I am currently a senior at NYU, originally from Colorado. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I absolutely adore kids and would definitely be a teacher in another life. I use to spend my summers teaching theater camps in my hometown, and was well known in the babysitting community there. I am CPR certified and know how to be fully present with children. I am athletic and love playing outside. I am also a singer and can play musical instruments, which the kids quite enjoy (anything Disney has always been a crowd pleaser!). I love animals and am most comfortable with dogs and cats! I am very tidy and organized, and love to help around the house. I also have a drivers license if needed and can help running errands when necessary. I grew up in a big family, so I learned how to be helpful at a very young age :)
“Izzy has been babysitting for our family several times a week since April and she has been a godsend! While she primarily helps out with my 7 and 9 year old, she has also babysat my 3 year old on many occasions (and my 3 year never likes new people and somehow Izzy found a way to break in)! She is always on time and flexible (one time when my 7 year old was sent home sick, she came last min to help out). My girls absolutely adore her and my husband and I love her positive energy around our children. She is comfortable taking the kids around the city (walking/subways/ubers) and we trust her completely with our children. We honestly feel we hit the jackpot in finding Izzy. She has helped us out during the day and has quickly become our children’s favorite sitter to put them to bed as well. Highly recommend!”

More than happy to help with household tasks and pet sitting as well - I am very comfortable around all pets except snakes.
“Lindsay was great with our two kids. She was friendly, warm, punctual and communicative. We would definitely recommend! Thank you!”

Hi my name is Angela and I am currently a stay at home wife. I am offering childcare in your home and household services. I love being a sitter to children of any age group. I enjoy singing lullabies to newborns as much as counting numbers and things to coloring and reading books with toddlers, the joy I get from reading to children 😊 I have cleaned many homes, from vacuuming to laundry to organizing and also run errands (walking distance) because I don’t drive. Most importantly I am very loving towards children and trustworthy and respectful to the children as well as their parents and household. Thank you, Angela
“We hired Angela to substitute for our regular nanny when she took six weeks leave. Angela stepped in and immediately made our kids feel comfortable and safe. They took to her right away and even after six weeks they are always glad to see her. She has a handle on them at all times - her guidance and nurturing of them has been impeccable. She did art projects with them, played on the floor with them, read with them, and was completely focused on them at all times. We feel so much respect and affection for Angela. We will miss her very much.”

"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!"
