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!

Hi. My name is Lathisha and I'm from Brooklyn, New York. I have worked with kids since I was 16 and have since worked as an after school teacher, teachers assistant as well as a head teacher. I’ve idone baby sitting as well. In June of 2025 i obtained my associate degree in Early childhood education. I love working with kids because of how rewarding it is- they teach me as much as I teach them! I also a mother to two beautiful baby girls and I understand how exciting it is to watch children learn and grow from both the parent and sitter perspectives! For any reason a booking gets cancelled or you come home early I still charge for the entire time. I also require cab fare back home once a booking ends after 11:00pm.

Hi guys, I have my BSN in nursing currently studying for my license. I have babysat for over 7 years personally but worked with kids for 9 years since I worked in summer camps. EXPERIENCES: I have worked in clinical settings with children such as pediatrics and NICU. But I also have experience with children with autism and ADHD for over 4 years. I have also worked with children that have diabetes. I understand that patience, caring and love is key. I want each child to feel safe and have the space to grow. I am CPR certified and have availability throughout the day. I am also willing to do last minute bookings! During the last couple of months we have all needed a break, feel free to message me for a date night or when you need some extra help while working. I love playing board games and building buildings with connective blocks! I currently have experience with a 3 year-old. I am accustom to picking up the child from school and taking her to activities. I love encouraging children to be who they want to be. For instance, if a child wants to be creative or sporty we will either spend the day painting or go an adventure through the park. I have also had experience working with a 5 year old who was very active. I can range with different ages of children because I have experience of working with children in an urban environment. The children were able to explore nature and it’s beauty. I try my best to enforce the safest environment possible with both the child and the parent. I have worked with parents usually for the long term but am looking for occasional gigs. A fun fact about me is that I have played and taught basketball, tennis and was a volunteer soccer assistant with the ages groups of 7-13. I also love to play board games and carry an Uno deck of cards for when I babysit with older kids. Will gladly do phone interviews and in person interviews. I also drive so don’t mind staying out late if you needed extra time! Feel free to message me for same day jobs! Thank you for your time
