Find infant babysitters in New York, NY

***JUST RETURNING AFTER SOME TIME OFF. IF I MISSED YOUR MESSAGE, I’LL BE IN TOUCH SOON! Hi! I’m Mel, your child’s future best friend, and I’m here to make your life a little bit easier! ☺️ I’m a warm, proactive, engaging, and highly experienced childcare professional with 15+ years of experience caring for children of all ages, from brand-new babies to teenagers and just about every stage in between. My approach to childcare is rooted in the belief that kids deserve to feel safe, respected, understood, and supported. I love getting to know who each child actually is: their personality, interests, quirks, sense of humor, strengths, and the things that make them light up. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to children, and that’s one of my favorite things about this work. I have a strong background in child development and a particular interest in child psychology, emotional regulation, and helping children build confidence and independence. I also have extensive experience caring for neurodivergent children, including children with ADHD and autism, and I’m comfortable adapting routines, communication, activities, and expectations to meet each child where they are. I’m equally happy getting silly on the floor with little ones, planning adventures and creative activities with bigger kids, helping with homework, navigating a tough emotional moment, or hanging out with a teenager who is far too cool to admit they enjoy having me around. Beyond childcare, I bring a lot to a household. I have a medical background and am CPR/BLS certified, along with extensive experience in household management, home organization, meal planning, and cooking. I’m a confident personal chef, a passionate organizer, and someone who genuinely enjoys bringing a little order to the chaos of busy family life. Whether that means keeping household tasks on track, reorganizing a playroom, prepping meals, tackling an overflowing closet, or simply noticing what needs to be done and taking care of it, I love helping families make their homes and routines run more smoothly. Most importantly, I take the trust families place in me seriously. I want parents to feel completely comfortable knowing their children are safe, cared for, and in capable hands while they’re with me. Every family is different, and I’d love to hear about yours, your children, your routines, and what would make your life run a little more smoothly. It takes a village, and I’d love to be part of yours.

Hello! I'm 36, a flight attendant, and just recently moved here from California. I spent the past 4 years living in LA and worked as a nanny there, and before that I was living in Spain working as an English teacher and nanny. I have been nannying/babysitting since I was 12. I have a lot of experience with children from infants to teens, and I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I’ve worked with children with all abilities. I'm really friendly, interactive and I love kids. I prefer engaging with the children as opposed to letting them sit and watch movies or play video games. I'm responsible, reliable and organized.

I'm Marina, and I'm based in Brooklyn. I currently work part-time as the Development and Partnerships Director for a nonprofit providing education and mental health support to women and girls in Afghanistan, and I have about 20-25 hours a week available for a family in need of extra help. I have 19+ years of experience working with children, from newborns through high school, across nannying, daycare, summer camp, tutoring, and classroom teaching. I've cared for children in one-on-one and group settings, for families in Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and internationally, including families with high-profile backgrounds. Depending on what your family needs, my time could look like after-school pickup and care, homework support, household logistics, scheduling, organizing, errand running, cooking dinner, pet care, or simply being a consistent and trustworthy presence in your children's lives. For tutoring, I specialize in English, writing, and critical thought for all ages, and cover math, science, and social studies through elementary school. I've taught students from preschool through 12th grade and tutored refugee youth in Brooklyn, often without shared language. My teaching style is rooted in observation and adaptability. I learn how each child thinks, what makes them feel safe, and where they need room to grow. My professional background is in educational and curriculum development. I performed on Broadway through my teens, then shifted into nonprofit work and volunteer teaching. I lived and taught at a school in India for close to two years, worked at a summer camp for refugee youth, and have held roles spanning operations, client experience, and learning and development. All of it has made me someone who pays close attention and builds trust with the people I work with. I emphasize technology-free, creative, and confidence-building play. I think carefully about who each child is and what they specifically need, and I bring that same intentionality to everything from an afternoon activity to a homework session. Of course, I still love a fun movie night! :) I've held certifications in Infant and Pediatric First Aid and CPR and am happy to be re-certified. I have a perfect driving record, I'm conversational in Spanish, and I'm an animal lover through and through. References available upon request. I work best with families that lead with compassion, open-mindedness, and joy. If that sounds like your household, I'd love to connect!

Hello Parents! Thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Amanda! I am a part time college student in my third year, studying animal science. As a New York Native I know how to navigate through the MTA system and the neighborhoods of each borough. I am CPR/First Aid Certified. I am currently available for part time work, occasional care, one time jobs, date nights, and holidays. One of my passions is caring for children, and animals. I have over 10 years of babysitter/nanny experience with children of all ages. Although, I’m pursing a degree in animal science, caring for children is something I’ll always continue to do. I love getting to know children, watching them grow, and supporting their important milestones. Along with my childcare experience, I have 9 years of experience working as a pet sitter. My dream is to open a pet care, and babysitting company. Why not both! I have been caring for children since the age of 12. I started babysitting my younger brother at a young age, as I grew older I transitioned into caring for my younger cousins, and working as a babysitter/nanny. In addition, I have experience caring for children with ADHD, ADD, & Anxiety. In the early summer of 2019 I worked for Camp Shiloh as a Camp Counselor in Training. I was a fellow camper myself there for several years, and I currently am a mentor under their youth program Hi-Def. A fun fact about me, I love Harry Potter, and comic books. Some of the fun things I love to do with children are making art, building blocks, engaging in activities around the city, read books, dancing, baking, playing board games, going to parks, sports, playing with toys & more. In my free time I like to swim, skateboard, listen to music, learn new things, write, and ground myself in nature. Children love me as their babysitter because I’m empathetic, open minded, committed, and pretty funny 😊 Booking Policies: - Due to safety reasons, after 10:30 pm I request a Uber/Lyft home - 3 hours minimum booking - In the event you come home early, I still require full payment. - If the job is cancelled within 48 hours, I require 50% of payment as a cancellation fee. Your child’s safety is my upmost importance, and of course having fun. I hope you as well as your loved ones are doing well, and staying safe during this transitional time. I look forward to hearing from you. References can be provided.
