Find infant babysitters in Bayside, NY

Hi! I'm Olivia. Thanks for visiting my profile. A little about me: I have 15 years of experience as both a full-time and part-time babysitter. Currently, I work as a full-time Lower School teacher at a private school in NYC, so I can babysit during weekday evenings and weekends. **Note: I live in both NJ and NYC, so I can work in either place.** A brief history: From 2012 to 2017 (before I left NYC temporarily for grad school), I babysat for 10-40 hours each week. From 2[removed], I worked as a substitute elementary/middle teacher while attending grad school. From 2020-2021, I was a full-time teacher at a private school in Florida, where I taught fourth grade reading, writing and science. In late 2021, I returned to NYC and to NYC/NJ babysitting! My experience ranges from newborns to 14-year-olds, with every age in between. I have an M.F.A. in fiction writing, and I especially enjoy sharing my love of books & reading. I also love simply chatting with kids, answering their (hilarious/profound/thought-provoking) questions, and playing their favorite off-screen game. I am skilled in social-emotional learning (SEL) and working with children with ASD (autism spectrum disorder), Levels I, II, and III; OCD; and ADHD. I am also skilled in helping kids cope with anxiety, anxious thinking, or anxiety-related behavior patterns. My hobbies include reading, spending time with my friends, and kayaking. I was born in Manhattan, and I grew up in North and South Florida. Some other helpful info: I am comfortable with pets and light housework/pet care. I’m comfortable babysitting sick children as long as you let me know in advance.

Hello Families, My name is Angela, and I am from Colombia. I am a graduate student in Public Health. I have been caring for children for the past 18 years. I am CPR/First Aid certified and possess a California driver's license. I am current on all my vaccines. I am also a certified Postpartum Doula with over 13 years of experience. My philosophy is to support the baby, the mom, and the family in creating a balanced and loving environment. I am highly dedicated to my work and take it seriously. I enjoy activities such as engaging in art projects, visiting parks, museums, and zoos, going for walks, and baking with children. I appreciate parents who provide clear instructions for their children's routines, set boundaries, and communicate effectively. One preference I have is that children usually stay away from screens while with me, except on weekends, although I respect if parents prefer otherwise. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions!
