Hi! I'm Rachel, and I absolutely love being a babysitter and caretaker! There's something so rewarding about working with kids, and I've been lucky enough to have some amazing experiences along the way. I've worked at a pediatric occupational therapy clinic where I learned how to help children reach their full potential while making sure they have fun in the process. I've also coached gymnastics, where I got to watch kids grow, challenge themselves, and celebrate their successes. Whether it's playing games, teaching new skills, or just being there to lend a hand, I'm passionate about helping kids feel safe, happy, and supported. I'm all about having fun, staying positive, and making sure every moment is filled with joy! I'd describe my personality as fun, creative, and friendly I like working with kids because they are curious, creative and are witnessing the world for the first time. Being able to be to help foster their creative spirit and witness their development is rewarding. I’ve been a nanny here in New York for a little over a year now and worked with a variety of children ages 4mo-12 years. Also available for: - house assistant work/ errands / home projects - pet sitting and walking - House Sitting
“Our son, 9, had so much fun with Rachel. She was punctual, communicative, and considerate.”
Hello families! My name is Renae. I am 24 years old. Im currently in school for business management but I also work for a community based program that provides activities for children. Ive also been a camp counselor/ group leader for summer camps/ programs. Im mostly around kids ages 5-11, My favorite activities to do with kids are playing games ( UNO, connect four, mancala), doing arts and crafts, and reading. When I'm not working I enjoy making art and spending time with friends and family.
Hello! My name is Sienna. I’m a recent graduate from the UPenn and am an oncology nurse here in NYC. I work with the adult population in the hospital, but I’ve always loved working with kids. I was a babysitter for 2 years in high school, and I also worked in a children’s hospital throughout my time in undergrad. I’m attentive, detail oriented, patient, and especially love being playful with kids. I'm comfortable with a variety of tasks, from arts and crafts to tutoring to accompanying kids to their extracurriculars. I’m also an avid cook and baker outside of my full time job and would be more than happy to bring those skills to your family as well! On top of that, I am CPR certified and happy to provide care if your child has any medical needs. I am allergic to cats but am happy to work with families with dogs!
(New profile - waiting on reviews - can provide references) Hello! My name is Caroline, and I'm a writer originally from Dallas, Texas now living in the North Williamsburg/South Greenpoint area. I recently graduated from NYU and have a flexible work schedule, so I’m available for occasional or regular babysitting! I grew up as the 2nd oldest child (firstborn daughter) in a LARGE, multi-home blended family with animals constantly around, so I've been looking after other kids (and pets) since I was a kid myself :) I absolutely love working with kids because every day brings something new and rewarding—whether it’s seeing a child achieve a milestone or simply sharing a laugh. I have 8 years of regular caregiving experience for other families in both Texas and New York City. I've worked with children from infancy to high school age, including children with special needs/disabilities. I'm well-versed in sibling dynamics and open to providing hands-on care for 2-3 children at a time -- potentially more depending on the ages of the children and/or in nanny-share situations. I started babysitting at 14 during my high school years, which I spent serving my community as a peer mentor and "PAL" (peers in assistance, leadership, & service) for children who had ongoing personal hardships, suffered recent traumatic events, and/or were new to the school. I started working with kids of varied cognitive disabilities in grade school as apart of a volunteer special education program, so I am comfortable working with children who have differentiating physical and/or mental functionalities. I believe that play is one of the best ways for kids to learn and grow, so I love creating fun, imaginative activities that engage kids while helping them develop new skills. I'm happy to help with homework (bonus: I'm trilingual) in any subject, to the best of my ability. I’m not a "passive" sitter - I love to keep kids engaged, and am committed to facilitating and maintaining their routines. I'm a big believer in bedtime stories, positivity, and patience. Other bonuses: I've cared for sick or wounded animals at home and volunteering at an animal sanctuary, and worked as a petsitter/dog-walker 10-15 hrs/wk while in college. Every child and home is unique. I want to be as attuned to their/your needs and preferences as possible, so please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to schedule a call or meeting.
“Super warm, instantly connected with the boys, flexible when we unexpectedly needed her much longer, and kept us updated!! Thank you so much! Can’t wait to have her back!”
Hi, I’m Melissa! I am a preschool teacher, and I have two nephews (ages 4 and 5) who keep me on my toes. I love museums, Chuck E. Cheese, or just hanging out doing crafts and reading stories. I’m easygoing and great with routines. I want kids to feel happy and at ease while we hang out.
