Hi! My name is Ashley, and I am a 23-year-old Northwestern University graduate who has extensive experience in child care. As a previous full-time camp coordinator, tutor, children's dance instructor, and theatrical performer for young audiences, I love engaging with children and meeting them where they are at. I am very experienced with NYC public transportation, so I am able to do pick-ups and drop-offs at school, extracurriculars, playdates, etc. I am also super organized and clean, so taking care of household tasks is a plus!
Hi! I’m Emma. I’m currently completing my master’s in social work at Columbia. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 and have experience with children ages 1–11. Through my work and as an older sister, I’ve developed a genuine love for caring for kids. I enjoy spending time outdoors and reading, and I love encouraging the kids I work with to explore those activities too. I’m always happy to help with homework. I’m also comfortable with pets and am happy to help with household responsibilities!
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!
I’m a senior at NYU with a strong background in childcare and safety. I’m a certified lifeguard trained in CPR, First Aid, and emergency response, and I bring that same attentiveness and calm presence to caregiving. I’m responsible, patient, and engaging, with experience caring for children and pets. Families appreciate my reliability, clear communication, and punctuality.
I am an NYC-based teacher, currently teaching 7th grade ELA. Next year, I will be teaching 4th Grade (all subjects). I am NYSED certified in ELA, Theatre, and Elementary Education. In addition to my experience in education, I have worked as a part-time/freelance nanny and child care provider in NYC for over ten years. I have an MA in Educational Theatre from NYU and am certified in CPR, First Aid, and Mental Health First Aid. I have also been fingerprinted/background checked by the NYC Department of Education. I am an animal lover with two cats (my former fosters). I grew up around dogs, cats, goats, and llamas and love all animals. In addition to caring for my own bbz, I have many years experience pet-sitting dogs and cats. I am on summer break and open to occasional work. Looking forward to speaking with you!
