Hello! I have worked with families with newborns to preteens and as an educator with students from 2nd grade to 12th grade over the past 9 years. I’ve created steam and art programs for all ages, from toddlers to teenagers, that engage a diversity of learners. I’m especially interested in organizing non-screen related activities. Currently I am an artist with flexible hours. I'm available for household services, as well. I love cooking, art and the outdoors! Note: any shift over 8 hours will have an additional overtime fee (multi-day commitments excluded)
Hi, my name is Anikka and I have graduated with a Sociology Degree with a minor in Spanish. I have obtained my masters degree in School Counseling to hopefully become a School Counselor. I have been working with children since i was 14 years old and have been continuing to do for the past 12 years. During these past 12 years, I have babysat children ranging from infancy through 11 years of age. In addition, I was a tutor for 5 years where i have helped children with their homework and helping them advance to the next reading level. In the previous summers, i had the chance to work at a summer day camp as the head counselor where I had identify the campers needs and talk to parents on issues that their child may be going through. Lastly, I promote and encourage healthy and safe behaviors to children. I love babysitting because I love making everlasting memories with the children while teaching them new things. In my free time, i like to crochet scarves, write songs, cooking, gardening, drawing, playing video games, just simply being me!
Hi! My name is Erna and I am currently a nursing student in my fourth year at CUNY Hunter College. I have lived in Brooklyn for my entire life and know the different neighborhoods very well. I have 4 younger siblings, two of them being twins which definitely plays a role in my experience and passion for taking care of children. I enjoy babysitting and being around children, having worked with families of all ages for over 5-6 years since I was 14. I have babysat newborns, toddlers, and older children, and even for families with 2-3 children and pets. I also handles household tasks like cleaning, cooking, pick ups, and errands. I enjoy helping, teaching, and having fun with children. Some things about me is that I am fluent in Serbo-Croatian, I love traveling, trying new foods, I have a cat named Milo, and I like playing sports. I would describe myself as energetic and outgoing.
“Thank you so much Erna. My kiddos adored you. ”
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!

In addition to babysitting, I offer drop-off and pickup services for school and other activities. As your babysitter, you can expect me to be responsible, dependable, patient and kind.

I pride myself on being patient, calm, and creative, always striving to turn each day into a fun-filled learning opportunity. I believe in maintaining open and honest communication with parents, providing regular updates, and following their preferred methods of contact. I respect household rules and take my cues from parents to ensure consistency and alignment with your parenting style.
