hi! I'm an experienced babysitter, tutor, and pet sitter. I have years of experience working with families in the neighborhood and love hanging out with kids. I really value staying present in the moment with children and make sure to listen to their needs.

Hi! I’m Ava, a Yale grad and former Division I swimmer with a passion for working with kids. I studied English at Yale with a concentration in Writing, and spent a year as a Teacher’s Aide at The Masters School in Dobbs Ferry, where I worked with students across multiple grade levels. I also spent 3 years as a swim instructor at Empire Swim School in Tarrytown, teaching kids of all ages and skill levels to swim, so I’m very comfortable working with children in all kinds of settings. Additionally I have years of experience nannying and babysitting kids of all ages. As a varsity athlete who trained 20+ hours a week, I bring a lot of energy, patience, and structure to everything I do. I’m reliable, responsible, and passionate about being the best role model possible for the kids I work with. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi! I’m a marketing professional, actress, and lifelong creative who genuinely loves spending time with kids. I have a 3-year-old niece and 5-year-old nephew who are two of my favorite people, and I love being part of their adventures—whether that’s playing pretend, creating art projects, reading stories, or spending time outdoors. I’m energetic, imaginative, patient, and responsible, and I enjoy helping children feel safe, confident, and engaged. My background in creative fields has made me a natural storyteller and problem-solver, and I’m comfortable keeping up with active kids while also creating calm, structured routines when needed. Families describe me as warm, dependable, and easy to communicate with. Whether you need occasional date-night coverage, after-school help, or a reliable sitter for regular care, I’d love the opportunity to support your family.
