Booked by 52 families in Brooklyn, NY

Hi! My name is Nancy, and hopefully, I'll be your family's next babysitter. I live in Bed-Stuy and first moved to Brooklyn 10+ years ago. But, I was born and raised in Oakland, CA. I have grown up working in childcare environments. My mom is a preschool teacher for the Oakland Unified School District, so I've spent most of my life tagging along and assisting her in every aspect of her job - the curriculum, nutrition, or just fun time. Formerly, I was a full time nanny for a 3 month old til she was 18 months old and started Montessori. I’m particularly experienced with that age of development from bottle feeding, preparing homemade baby food, doing some family assistant, and more I am experienced babysitting for all ages, from newborns to preteens. My skills with children can be catered to your child and adapted to any environment. I have experience with families from the conscious Bay Area lifestyle to the alternatively fast-paced Los Angeles and New York clientele. (I've lived and babysat in all cities) I love children, and they love me. As a caretaker, I don't believe in being absent-minded or distant. Being introduced to new people can be difficult for children. It is best to make the transition easier through hands-on, enriching approaches such as games, creative activities, storytelling, field trips, etc. Plus, it helps that I can be just as silly as any kid! Skills - • College graduate with corporate work history •Can do light housecleaning and cooking - I'm a passionate cook and great with cleaning. •I'm fluent in Vietnamese - written and verbal. •Experienced with severe food allergies. •Very experienced taking on a household manager role and I have over two years of personal assistant experience. • I am experienced in the hospitality industry so that I can maintain a bright, hospitable attitude. I also plan great birthday parties! Examples of activities I would do with your kids: •Cooking - kids love making pizzas, helping me cook, trying new foods •Baking - baking or decorating with kids. Can be GF, Dairy free, refined sugar free •Crafts - puzzles, paintings, drawings, etc •Writing & drawing storybooks •Going to the park •Exploring a museum, exhibit, or children's focussed art/music studio As a professional, experienced, educated, warm, and bubbly babysitter, I would make an excellent choice for your kids! My personality is best expressed in person, so let's schedule an interview! Thanks for considering me!

Hi! My name is Nisa. I am currently working as a part time nanny, but I have been a babysitter for over 15 years and I have loved every minute of it. I am a recreational ballet dancer who enjoys puzzles and painting. I am also extremely creative and I love coming up with new and fun adventures for kids to enjoy. I hate for children to be bored, so I like to do arts and crafts projects, read and sing to them, play card and board games, pretend play, bake with them, and go to the park. I even have a recipe for homemade play dough! I have also been an after school teacher for children, grades K-5 and I am currently studying to become a Newborn Care Specialist. I have worked with infants, toddlers, and pre-teens and I love connecting with each child on their level. I am naturally drawn to children which is why I love to spend time with them and be a part of their lives.

Booked by 55 families in Brooklyn, NY

Hello, parents! My name is Sara. I am a nanny and early childhood educator with 20 years of experience in childcare, the past 16 years working as a full-time nanny for private families in NYC. I have worked with ages 2 months through 15 years and have significant experience caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and multiples including twins. I recently finished a 10-year long full-time, full charge nanny position with a wonderful family on the UWS. I’m currently available for occasional babysitting, backup care, and part-time nanny care. I’m located near Prospect Park in Brooklyn and able to travel anywhere in Brooklyn, Manhattan, or Queens. Prior to becoming a career nanny, I studied music therapy at Berklee College of Music with an emphasis on early childhood development and child psychology. While working towards my degree, I taught in the two year old and three year old programs in a local preschool, and served as the music director at a Boston Gymboree. I am a huge believer in child-led play, respectful discipline, and nurturing children’s curiosity and imagination. If you have any questions, please feel free to message!

“Sara made us feel instantly comfortable leaving our baby daughter with a sitter for the first time. She was demonstrably experienced in how to handle a baby wary of strangers and could easily adapt to our family’s routine. She was easy to communicate with and we would be immediately ready to hire her again in the future.”

Luke

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 148 families in Brooklyn, NY

My name is Luke and I'm a graduate of New York University ('16) with a BFA in Drama. Some of my favorite things to do are go to Broadway shows (obviously), playing tennis, writing, and going for a run along the Hudson River while jamming to Taylor Swift. I enjoy all things Harry Potter and will talk with anyone about it for hours. I've been babysitting in various capacities since I was 14. First, it was occasionally babysitting my neighbor's daughters while she cleaned the house or ran to the store. After that, I did some student teaching in first and second grade classrooms for a year, along with babysitting kids who were involved with my high school's musical productions. Just before graduating college in 2016, I transitioned into date night and after-school babysitting in NYC, working for close to 200 different families (so far)! My favorite thing about babysitting is making a connection with the kids I work with. Relationships are very valuable to me, regardless of if it's my family, my friends, or the people I work with. Being able to know that I've made not only a bond with the kids, but a positive impact as well, is the most rewarding part of my job. When it comes to working with kids, I've basically done it all at one time or another. Among my favorite jobs have been being a nanny for a number of incredible families after-school; working at a children's theatre in Manhattan, where I taught musical theatre classes for ages 3-14; and working as a tennis and theatre counselor at an all-girls summer camp in Maine, where I taught girls ages 7-16 and was a bunk counselor for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade. Most recently, I've worked at several day camps in Manhattan - Asphalt Green Summer Day Camp, where I was the On-Site Program Manager for two years, and Steve and Kate's Camp at Kips Bay, where I was the Site Director. I am currently the PS 527 Program Director for the Imogen Foundation, an after-school program focusing on SEL and emotional literacy. I am very skilled in managing large groups of kids. As a camp counselor, you quickly learn to think on your feet because there's nothing more stressful than dealing with 200 incredibly bored kids stuck inside on a rainy day. Through my teaching experience, I've learned quite a bit of classroom management and how to command the attention of a room. Whether I'm working with one kid or several dozen, I have the experience to make the most of any situation. I look forward to hearing from you! :)
