Hi there! My name is Lindy and I’m a 26-year-old artist and textile-maker living in Brooklyn. I graduated cum laude from NYU three years ago where I studied mental health with a focus on children and adolescents. I am passionate about early childhood, and this fall, I’ll be back in school working towards my masters degree in art therapy. In the mean time, I’m looking for part-time nanny work and regular babysitting opportunities! :) I adore children and have been babysitting since an early age. In addition, I have experience working as a teacher’s assistant at my local temple, a day care assistant, and as an intern at a children’s arts camp in Brooklyn. In total, I have over 5 years of experience caring for children aged 3 months to 12+. I've spent the past three years since graduating college nannying part-time. One of my previous nanny families described me as “kind, sensitive, attentive, and simply a lovely human being…who has very much become a part of our family.” I am fully vaccinated and boosted as well as CPR and First Aid certified. Let me know if you’d like to speak to my references!
“Lindy helped us out last minute when our full-time caregiver had a family emergency. She was calm, kind and mature and easygoing about our toddler being in a cranky mood. Our 5 year old also had fun playing with her. ”

Hi Families! I'm Ella, I'm 22 years old, and a recent graduate from the University of Connecticut. I moved to NYC from Charlotte, NC this past August to pursue my career in publishing at Penguin Random House. I used to be a swim coach working with lots of children ranging from ages 3-17 for a summer swim team! I also have plenty of experience providing private and group swim lessons. I have babysat for multiple families and am comfortable running errands, pet sitting/ dog walking, prepping meals, pickups and drop offs and helping with homework for afterschool! I used to be an English major and now work all the time with books and would love to share my love for reading with your kids! I also am very comfortable with dogs and cats! I have two cats and grea up with dogs. I am very responsible and a hard worker. New York is very difficult to afford, I want to babysit or petsit for an additional income. Because I work a 9-5, my hours are limited, but if you have any consistent or inconsistent babysitting needs that aligns with this, please let me know!
Hello! My name is Davidsa. I’m a caring, responsible, and organized person who enjoys helping families with child care, pet care, and household needs. I have several years of experience working with children, managing homes, and caring for pets of all kinds. I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and well-organized environment where everyone feels comfortable and supported. I offer a combination of child care, pet care, and household services, depending on your family’s needs. I can provide flexible scheduling for regular help or occasional assistance. I love reading stories, doing crafts, playing board games, outdoor activities like going to the park or beach, cooking simple recipes together, and helping with creative or learning projects. I can help with tutoring and homework, especially in reading, writing, and science. I also enjoy cooking healthy meals and snacks for kids. I love creative activities such as painting, dancing, and storytelling, which make playtime both fun and educational. I am CPR/First Aid certified. I also have a strong understanding of child safety and development.
“Davidsa was truly an incredible nanny to our daughter and became such an important part of our family. She is loving, reliable, patient, responsible, and genuinely treats the children she cares for as her own. She was always taking our daughter on adventures, finding activities for them to do, and helping her learn and explore the world around her. She is bilingual in English and Spanish, incredibly intelligent and capable, and one of those rare caregivers who never needs to be micromanaged. She just knows what needs to be done and does it. I trusted her completely with my daughter, which is the highest compliment I could possibly give someone. We only had to part ways because our family moved out of state, and saying goodbye to her was genuinely one of the hardest parts of leaving New York. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have Davidsa caring for their children. We love her and recommend her wholeheartedly.”
Hi, I’m Dominion, and I’m a biology graduate from the college of mount Saint Vincent, NY. I used to work as a microbiologist and now preparing for my masters program. I offer reliable child care, and household services. I have a passion for babysitting and have been caring for children—from newborns to preteens, including all my little cousins during summer vacations. My experience includes school pickups, engaging activities like crafts, tutoring, and even managing dance lessons. In addition to babysitting, I could provide household support, including cleaning, and running errands. I have experience caring for my grandparents, so I'm comfortable with senior care, whether it’s preparing meals, or helping with daily tasks. My hobbies include listening to music, YouTube, shopping, working in a laboratory and reading leisurely. Looking forward to meeting you!
“When my mother-in-law was unexpectedly unavailable, I reached out to Dominion and she saved the day! She arrived on time and instantly connected with my 6-month-old, which is no easy feat considering that I work from home and my daughter is super attached to me. I was instantly comforted by my daughter's smile when Dominion reached for her and by Dominion's innate ability to soothe her when she did get a bit fussy later in the day. She understood my daughter's cues, and we had a chance to laugh about them together after I had finished a few meetings. She also treated my home with great respect and showed a genuine interest in getting to know my family. I know I will continuously reach out to her when needed. Thank you, Dominion!”
