Hi I’m an experienced au pair with a background in caring for children of various ages, including managing daily routines and fostering a safe( one year au pair kids 5,7,12 yo and currently second year 5,6 yo) nurturing environment. During my time as an au pair abroad, I built strong bonds with the children I cared for, supporting their education, hobbies, and emotional growth.

Booked by 1 family in Yorktown Heights, NY

Hi! I have been a babysitter/nanny on the side for years! I come from a large family and plenty of experience, so there’s nothing I haven’t seen! I love playing outside or creating new activities for your kids to enjoy. I am comfortable with pets, doing house chores and anything your child(ren) need always finding ways for them to have fun! I am CPR & First Aid certified with experience with children of all ages!

Alyssa is wonderful! She is communicative, kind, experienced, prompt, and flexible. She was great with our 10 month old daughter and I will definitely book her again :-)

Courtney 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old, caring for families with anywhere from one to four children ranging in age from newborns to 12 years old. I also have a one year old of my own and bring a strong educational background to my childcare experience. I’ve been a teacher for nine years with a focus in special education and have taught Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. I’m very hands-on and love engaging kids in both indoor and outdoor activities, from creative crafts to active play. I’m also happy to help with homework, chores, and daily routines. I can prepare meals, tidy up, and ensure the kids stay on track while having fun. In addition to my love for working with children, I’m an animal lover who grew up with dogs and currently has a chocolate lab.

Absolutely wonderful! Courtney is engaged with my son the whole time she is here!

"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!"
