$25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Tetiana. I have about 4 years of experience working as a nanny and caring for children in a safe, patient, and responsible way. I enjoy helping children with daily routines, playtime, meals, reading, creative activities, and light learning activities. I am calm, attentive, reliable, and organized. Families can count on me to follow instructions, keep children safe, and create a positive and comfortable environment. I have experience with childcare during the day, evenings, and weekends. I am also comfortable helping with light household tasks related to the children, such as preparing simple meals, tidying play areas, and keeping routines on schedule. I truly enjoy working with kids and supporting families when they need extra help.
“Me and my husband extremely happy with the care and dedication our nanny provides. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, always creating a safe and positive environment. Her ability to engage, teach, and support development has made a noticeable difference. We fully trust her and highly recommend her to any family looking for exceptional childcare.”

Booked by 2 families in Amityville, NY
Hello! My name is Jordan. I have a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood and Childhood Education with a concentration in English and a Masters degree in Literacy through Pace University! I have completed hundreds of hours student teaching as well as occasionally substituting when needed. I am originally from Long Island, New York and for the past two winters I have lived in Hawaii then Puerto Rico. I love babysitting and have been doing so since I was 12 years old for family and friends! I have experiences with a large range of ages from both babysitting and teaching. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs. Additionally, I am open to doing some house work. I can cook, clean, and run errands.
“Jordan was so great & our kids loved her. Definitely would recommend”
