Hi! I’m Gaby — a caring, patient, and reliable babysitter with many years of hands-on experience. As a mom of a wonderful 23-year-old, I truly understand kids and their needs at every stage.

Hi! I'm Eleanor, and I am so excited to work with your children! I graduated from film school and have plenty of nyc childcare experience! I am CPR and first aid certified.

Hi! I’m Melissa, a 27 year old longtime babysitter, newly back in the U.S. after three years in London. I’ve been babysitting for over 10 years, with experience ranging from toddlers to early teens. I first became the go-to sitter in my neighborhood growing up in Philadelphia, and word quickly spread - my parents’ coworkers started calling on me too! Over the years, I’ve also taken on pet-sitting duties for both dogs and cats, sometimes for a few days and other times for several weeks at a time. I’m responsible, communicative, and deeply respectful of the routines and values that matter to each family. Whether it’s about technology rules, food habits, learning styles, or anything else, I believe it’s important to honor the tone and philosophy of the household I’m stepping into. Outside of babysitting, I’m a young professional who recently moved back from London to pursue a career pivot from a finance job into music (one of my lifelong passions). I am also currently getting ready to move into my first solo apartment (big milestone!), and I’m looking to make some extra income doing something I genuinely love: supporting families and spending time with kids. If you’re looking for someone warm, reliable, and adaptable with a global perspective (and a big appetite for fun!) I’d love to connect.

Hi! My name is Bayla. I offer childcare, pet care, and household services. I love working with kids! For the last year, I have been working for Reading Partners at an elementary school in Brooklyn, providing extra literacy support to students in grades K-5. This summer I am an assistant teacher at Wonderforest Preschool! I have experience with all age groups. I always center patience, enthusiasm, and understanding when working with kids. I love to allow kids to explore their natural curiosity and better understand who they are. I am looking for a role as an after-school nanny this school year, with flexibility in the afternoon hours. I also have pet care experience and can support with household work where necessary. I am happy to support your family in any way that I can!

Hello, my name is Aurora! I have a lot of experience with infants and young children, and am eager to work with your family! For the past two years I've been nannying an infant who is now going off to daycare! In this position I gained experience in guiding an infant through all the major developmental milestones including transitioning from bottle-feeding to solids, creating a sleep schedule, first steps, first words, and all the other fun changes that come in those first couple years. I absolutely love working with this age-range and am pursuing a degree to become a perinatal psychologist so I can eventually work with parents and babies in a mental health setting. Outside of nannying, I just completed a two-year internship at Columbia University where I studied mother-baby psychology and attachment. This greatly informs my work with families and infants! I completed my B.S. in Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of California, Santa Barbara where I also worked as an assistant preschool teacher. In this role I worked in both infant classrooms and 3-to-5 year-old classrooms. I loved building rapport with the children and forming close bonds with the families! Outside of these roles, I also worked at the Brooklyn Autism Center with older children and have experience babysitting 4 to 5 year-olds. I'm happy to talk in-depth about any of these experiences! Outside of work and school, I love spending time outdoors and being creative! As your nanny, I would love to take your kiddos to the park and set up art activities with them! Thank you for your time and I'm excited to meet your family!
