Hi there! I graduated from Tufts University with a major in Political Science and have worked in foreign policy on Capitol Hill for several years before moving into contract specialization here in NYC. I spent four summers as a preschool teacher working with children ages 1 to 5 and spent two years working with fourth graders, in addition to regular babysitting, and I absolutely love working with kids! I also have a year's experience as a full-time professional nanny for a single family with a toddler. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions about availability or would like to learn more about me as a babysitter. I am also happy to provide additional references upon request from my full-time childcare jobs, if you would like them in addition to my reviews listed here on the website. I look forward to hearing from you!

I have worked as Friday night or Saturday night, weekend sitter, overnight, weeknights or on call sitter for some great families and looking for extra babysitting hours, short notice or part time position.

My duties where but not limited to; making sure that the kids are bathed, ready for bed, read them stories, play board games, taking them to after school activities,provide safety, sleep training, prepare kids meals, feeding and other child related duties including some light housekeeping, dog walking, running errands and working extra hours when required.

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. I started babysitting in 2012, when I was a freshman at NYU. I'm now 34 and work as a writer/editor in the insurance industry. I’m available on the weekends (Friday night through Monday night) for babysitting. From 2011 to 2017 (before I left NYC temporarily for grad school), I babysat for 10-40 hours each week. My experience ranges from newborns to 14-year-olds, with every age in between. I especially enjoy sharing my love of books & reading. I love chatting with kids, answering their (hilarious/profound/thought-provoking) questions, and playing their favorite off-screen game. I was born in Manhattan, and I grew up in North and South Florida. Outside babysitting, I worked as a substitute teacher while attending grad school. From 2[removed], I was a full-time teacher at a private school in Florida, where I taught fourth grade reading, writing and science. I am skilled in social-emotional learning (SEL) and working with children with ASD (autism spectrum disorder), Levels I, I, 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 also have an M.F.A. in fiction writing, and I love talking to both kids and adults about books and writing! Some other helpful info: I am comfortable with pets and light housework/pet care. I am not comfortable babysitting children who are not feeling well/sick/contagious. Please let me know ahead of time if this becomes the case!
“Olivia was awesome. She jumped in with short notice and did an amazing job with our son. Appreciate you and would highly recommend. Thanks again! ”
Hello! My name is Shelley - I’m an experienced sitter/nanny and communications professional with a master’s in creative writing from Oxford. In my free time, I am a singer, performer, and avid fan of classic film. I've been involved in childcare from a very young age, including as a daytime nanny when I was working as an actress full-time, and an evening and weekends babysitter throughout college and beyond. I have experience with all ages, from infants to teens, and I have frequently worked with multiple children. I look forward to meeting you and your family!
Hello! I’m a 29 year old student double majoring in Social Sciences at Columbia University. I’m originally from San Diego, CA & the Tijuana, BC area in Mexico. I’m CPR and First Aid Certified, speak English, Spanish, & conversational French. I’ve been caring for children over 10 years! I’m the best at pretend play, board games, crafts, singing and dancing with the kiddos. I clean up after all our activities which I strive to make engaging, educational, and fun; no matter the age group! I’ve cared for multiple (10+) children at a time, special needs children, have assisted at events, cared for sick children, children with allergies, and have also worked in a daycare setting environment. The ages of the children I’ve cared for range from 4 weeks - 16 years old. I have plenty references I’d be delighted to provide, including my latest long term position in the city. I can pick up/drop off and drive around your children, have a valid drivers license and clean driving record, can tutor or help with homework. I truly love spending time with children and enjoy their company, I value the flexibility of my profession and difference from a 9-5 job. I’m really excited to find a family that will be the best fit for me and hope to soon be the best fit for someone else! My goal is to provide the best service possible without a transactional experience. Thank you so much for taking the time to review my profile!
