Find infant babysitters in East Elmhurst, NY

Hello! My name is Shay and I am a warm, conscientious, communicative, and emotionally intelligent nanny with a Mary Poppins-esque touch and over 10 years of in-home care experience. I am passionate about child development and dedicated to nurturing kind, curious, and resilient young humans. I am from San Francisco, California, and have been living in New York City for the past 5 years pursuing acting. In that time, I've worked primarily with two families each with three children. I have experience with children experiencing major life transitions (just moving to NYC from another country with another language and learning english for the first time at 3 years old), children with gross motor, fine motor, and speech delays with multiple therapists and S.E.I.T.'s, children with ADD, and newborns joining the family. I am also an educator at Cocoon (Membership-based social clubs welcoming families to learn, play & grow together) and teach music, art, preschool prep, and dance for children ages 6 months to 36 months. It has been my true joy to have as many relationships with families and children as I do. I treasure the moments rolling around on the floor laughing with elementary schoolers, when a 16 month old walks over to me to give a hug for the first time when I come to the door, or when baby wakes up and we have a cuddle before discovering what the rest of the day has in store for us. My strength comes from remembering how my parents treated me with so much love and patience when I was a kid. I have a true interest and curiosity for child development. I have a love for Montessori and fostering independence in children. I bring joy, energy, and a breadth of knowledge from babysitting and nannying for over 10 years with hundreds of families. I am always available for phone or in person interviews. My calendar is almost always up to date. My resume and reference letters are available upon request. I look forward to meeting you and your family! Best, Shay

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.

I grew up in a large Haitian family so I've been babysitting for as long as I can remember. When my studies brought me to Hamilton College, I continued to babysit for professors and administrators alike. There I pursued an interdisciplinary major in Genetics & Social Justice with a focus on reproductive health. As part of my major, I got the opportunity to study maternal and child health in the U.S., Vietnam, South Africa, and Argentina. Living and learning in such different environments exposed me to children of all ages and backgrounds and taught me that in the absence of a shared spoken language, games are a universal language that can create a genuine connection with children all over the world. For the past 8 years, I've worked as a private tutor with elementary school-aged children and provided academic support in a variety of subjects. In addition to this, I provide semi-regular and occasional childcare services. If you'd like to book me, send me a message and I'll respond as soon as possible. Policies 1. I require a minimum of 48 hours notice if you’d like to cancel or reschedule a booking. Otherwise, I expect 50% of the payment for the booking. 2. I request a car service home for bookings ending after 8 pm. 3. I am willing to care for sick children as long as they’re not contagious, but please notify me in advance so I can plan accordingly. 4. I expect payment for the full booking even if you return home early. 5. My booking minimum is 3 hours. 6. My pricing for babysitting and private tutoring are distinct. Feel free to inquire, however, if you're interested in my pricing for tutoring services. Best wishes, Joany

Resume Link:[removed] Hi, my name is Lindsey! I love working with children of all ages, especially infants and toddlers! I have an associate degree in early childhood education from Sauk Valley Community College and plan to pursue a bachelor's degree in the future. I have experience as a summer and after-school counselor, working with kids aged K-5th grade, and, most recently, as a full-time assistant daycare teacher in a 15-30 month classroom. I would also occasionally work in the daycare infant room when needed. One of the main reasons I love working with children is their innate love for exploration, creativity, and learning; just like myself! I believe that children need a strong, safe, and trustworthy support system to thrive, and I will provide all of those qualities. I love to sing, dance, read, write, craft, explore new places, and spend time in nature; all of which are traits that I directly apply when working with children. Furthermore, I am deeply passionate about teaching children age-appropriate emotional intelligence and regulation. While working in daycare, I taught my toddlers the names and feelings of different emotions, breathing exercises, how to find a trusted adult in times of emotional distress, how to say to a peer “Stop!” and “I do not like that!”, healthy ways to express anger, frustration, or other “upset” emotions without physically harming oneself or others, and where to find a safe and calm space to “calm their body.” For me, helping a child grow emotionally is incredibly rewarding, and I am ready and willing to nurture this growth with every child I work with. In addition to childcare, I am experienced in caring for dogs, cats, bearded dragons or similar reptiles, hedgehogs, beta fish, and parakeets (my family has had lots of pets over the years!). Additionally, having worked multiple customer service jobs and maintained the cleanliness of a toddler classroom, I am highly experienced in housekeeping services and running errands.

- I have a 4 hour minimum - I ask for a car home after 10pm for safety. Thanks! Hi! I am an actress/singer/photographer/web designer who adores kids! (and pets!) Originally from Kansas City, I have been living in NYC for 18 years. I graduated with a BFA in Musical Theatre from Webster Conservatory of Theatre Arts in St. Louis, MO. Not only do I love spending time with kids - I also love performing for them. I have toured the country performing in the Dr. Seuss musical SEUSSICAL and I have also performed with Disney Cruise Line playing Mary Poppins, Mrs. Potts, The Fairy Godmother and more! I began babysitting when my little brother was born (I was 11) and I have been babysitting ever since! I adore kids and their outlook on life. They bring me so much joy. I have worked with newborns, teens and every age in between. I audition a lot during week days so nights and weekends are best for me. (I do not mind working really late nights!) I look forward to meeting you and your family!
