I am a native New Mexican currently living in the South Bronx. I have a bachelors degree in Anthropology from UNM. I’m a flight attendant for a major airline. I fly part time & currently have both doses of the Pfizer vaccine plus booster ! In lieu of recent events, my usual flying schedule has decreased which has given me the opportunity to stay grounded in the city. I have extended experience babysitting & handling stressful situations. I love animals, art, music and am happy to share my admiration for these hobbies with any child eager to expand their curious minds. I love to hear and learn about any infant care routines that make your baby feel safe and loved. Looking forward to helping out with occasional jobs.

“Showed up on time and was great with the kids! Appreciated the regular updates and communication.”

- 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!

“Mallory was wonderful with our 9 month old son!! She was great at communicating and made my husband and I feel fully at ease being away from him for the night. We highly recommend her!!”

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.

Hi! I'm Moni. I work in a flexible freelance role, and occasionally babysit and help with organizing spaces on the side when I'm free. I've always had a nuturing side from a young age from helping out my family with their kiddos and for many pets. I'm comfortable around all creatures- including farm animals and reptiles:) I have plenty experience caring for newborns to teens, and always encourage exploring their creativity, learning abilities, and talents in whatever it may be. I was a jazz/tap dancer at a younger age so I love dance. Plus hiking and cycling, DIY, gardening, music, cooking, theatre, painting, and organizing spaces. In my free time I volunteer at different organizations for youth and animals, and go to as many museums and road trips as I can. Note: I’m open to lower hourly/flat rate for pet/animal care, and able to help walk/feed/do check-ins/companion time for pets.

I am a 31 year old nanny originally from Colombia and I have over 8 years of experience caring for children. I have lived in the United States for the past 7 years, working as a nanny and improving my English. Taking care of kids is more than a job to me it is a true passion. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and fun environment and bring patience, creativity, kindness, and positive energy into every home. With parents permission, I like to share my culture and teaching basic Spanish to children. I have experience with children from newborns to 13 years old and have worked in both solo and nanny share positions. CPR certified and currently doing a postpartum doula course. Experience Highlights: • Aug 2021 – Apr 2023: Full-time nanny (newborn) • Apr 2023 – Jun 2024: Full-time nanny share ( 6 and 7 months old) • Jul 2024 – Apr 2025: Full-time nanny share ( 6 months old) • Jun 2025 – February 2026: Full-time nanny for twins ( 8 months old) • Apr 2026 – August 2026: Full-time nanny for a 3-year-old
