Taylor $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Taylor, I’m 21 years old, going into my 4th year at Parsons School of Design, living in the East Village. Growing up in California I babysat for several families with children of different age ranges. I developed a love for children and being able to help families! I’m always happy to be an extra set of hands around the house and help families wherever needed. Addition to babysitting, my first job was a gymnastics coach for kids of all ages. In my free time I enjoy reading, working out, and going on long walks to enjoy the city!

Booked by 1 family in College Point, NY

Hi there! I'm a senior in the Childhood Education program at Hunter College. I'm compassionate, patient, curious, and playful. I have extensive experience caring for children ages 2 to 11. Additionally, I have cared for newborns, infants, and children with special needs. I'm passionate about providing a safe and nurturing environment that fosters positive development for children. I also love learning about children's interests and engaging in play with them. Looking forward to connecting with you and your family!

“Julia did an incredible job. She is attentive and communicative. She demonstrated her experience caring for one of my cats who is sick. I recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter, especially longterm. ”

I’ve helped care for my three nieces my whole life and have babysat for multiple families, both long- and short-term, since I was 14. I’m patient, loving, and compassionate, and I truly enjoy kids’ company. I’m a strong leader who’s fun while keeping your child safe, happy, and supported.

Samaira $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a Pratt grad student with eight years of experience in nannying. I care for little ones ranging from 2 months old to 12 years old. I am CPR and First Aid for infants and adults. As a nanny, I support the family in tending to the children's basic needs and engage them in activities that promote their physical, emotional, and cognitive development. I like working with kids to alleviate pressures from parents & give them peace of mind as I help their children learn / reach milestones while ensuring they are safe. I'm looking for a job that allows me flexibility. Ideally M-F or date nights. Including a zoom meet & greet between us before I start.

Kat $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kat! I’m 28 years old and based in Manhattan. I was born and raised in Manhattan and currently live in the financial district. I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology from George Washington University and am a former Division I athlete. These experiences have shaped the way I care for children, with an emphasis on patience, empathy and consistency. I have been nannying throughout my life, with my most recent position lasting four years. I worked part-time, five days a week, with a family of three children ages 6, 8, and 10, and became a steady, trusted presence in their daily lives. From helping with homework and daily routines to offering emotional support and encouragement, I truly enjoyed being part of their growth. The family has since relocated, and I am now excited to find a new family where I can build a similar long-term connection! In addition to childcare, I’m a music producer and songwriter, which allows me to bring creativity, joy, and calm energy into the home. I’m someone who leads with kindness, listens closely, and values creating a safe, supportive, and loving environment where children feel seen and cared for. I am currently open to either a full-time or part-time nanny position and would love the opportunity to become a dependable and caring support for your family.
