Hi! I'm Haneen — a product designer with a background in architecture, and someone who has genuinely always loved being around kids. I grew up looking after younger siblings and cousins, and have helped out friends and family as a babysitter over the years, so I'm comfortable with the rhythms of caring for little ones even if it's not my full-time world. I'm creative by nature and training, and I'd love to bring that into time spent with kids, teaching them to draw, paint, work through a puzzle, or just make something fun with whatever's around. I speak Arabic fluently too, which kids tend to find pretty exciting. I'm available part-time and happy to work with most age groups, I don't have a specialty, but I'm attentive, patient, and good at reading what a kid needs in the moment. One small thing: I'm allergic to cats, so homes with cats aren't a great fit, but dogs are totally fine by me! If you're looking for someone reliable, warm, and a little creative to spend time with your kids, I'd love to connect.
Hi, my name is Renée! I have national and international experience in childcare, teaching, and mentoring children to young adults. For each job, I’ve dedicated myself to the child’s well-being. I’m willing to work in any capacity, and I look forward to meeting you :)
Hi! My name is Sarah, I’m an LA-raised NYC dweller and lover of kids. As the oldest of 7 close cousins, I’ve been babysitting pretty much since I could hold a bottle. After moving to New York for school, I majored in Creative Writing and minored in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies. I have babysat for a few families in the city (some for several years) for kids ranging in age from 18 months to 12 years. I’m seasoned in putting restless toddlers to bed, whipping up fun arts and crafts and making excellent after school snacks!
I am an energetic and caring mother of three with extensive experience caring for children from infants to age 12. I am comfortable multitasking, open to nanny shares, and enjoy caring for multiple children. I also have seven years of experience as a lifeguard and children’s swim coach, so water safety is a top priority for me. I have a very flexible schedule, can drive, and am often available for last-minute or evening support. I’d be happy to help your family!
I am a warm, playful caregiver and educator with over six years of experience working with children in schools, programs, and home settings. I currently teach K–12 programs at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and previously coordinated youth development programs with GrowNYC. I also spent a year as a preschool teacher, designing hands-on learning experiences that supported social-emotional growth, early literacy, and curiosity-driven play. In addition to classroom work, I’ve cared for children ages 4–10 as a babysitter and nanny, supporting homework, routines, and creative activities. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, safety-focused, and highly reliable. I love exploring with kids — whether we’re visiting gardens and museums, going on nature walks, cooking together, or diving into art projects. As a part-time artist and great cook, I bring creativity, patience, and joy into every day, helping children feel supported, confident, and eager to learn. I'm allergic to cats but absolutely love dogs and would happily care for your furry friend as well!
