Booked by 2 families in Bronx, NY

Hi! I’m a college student in my junior year The New School in NYC studying Culture and Media Studies with a minor in Fashion Communications at Parsons. I’m responsible, friendly, patient, and dependable, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I’m comfortable helping with things like playtime, homework, meals and snacks, bedtime routines, and keeping kids entertained and engaged. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks, errands, pet care, and general tidying when needed. I’m organized, attentive, and easygoing, while still being responsible and able to follow a family’s routines and instructions. I have a busy school and internship schedule during the week, so I’m especially interested in part-time, occasional, date-night, Friday, and weekend opportunities that I can build a consistent relationship with a family through. I’d love to connect with families looking for someone reliable, caring, and flexible to help make their lives a little easier!

“Artemis helped us with a last minute babysitter scramble and was so lovely to have. She was early and eager to know all the details of the girls routine. Our daughters, 10 and 7.5, had a great time with Artemis and are already asking when she will be back. Highly recommend! ”

Hi I'm Einstein, some prefer Frankie but all nicknames are welcome! I have been sitting for 8+ consecutive years CPR + First Aid Certified. I am reliable, responsible, and joy with your little ones. Whatever your needs, I'm here to help! As a volunteer youth counselor and lifelong caregiver, supervisors and parents have always recognized my great communication and innate ability to form a bond with any child. I am from a family of healthcare professionals and growing up I took on the role of caring for my newborn little brother. I've spent years honing my skills as l helped raise my little brother alongside my parents then responsible for babysitting other young relatives as well as the kids of neighboring families and friends known to prioritize their safety, health, and happiness!

“Einstein did a great job and really went above and beyond deep cleaning out apartment! Plus she’s just a joy to be around and I felt so comfortable having her in our home.”

I am a mother of two, wildly energetic toddlers under the age of 5! I have a Masters in Social Work, am passionate about the neurodivergent community and I'm a houseplant enthusiast! My love for pets is unmatched and unbiased (cats + dogs are equally adored). I have experience as a part-time nanny (10+ years) and continue to work with children presently. I welcome the opportunity to support any household needs families may have as well!
