Hello! I am a NYcertified elementary teacher(Kinder-6th) with 7 years of full-time teaching experience along with 15+ years of babysitting experience. I am currently working on my Masters in Ed. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I enjoy being active and love teaching!
Hi there! I’m a registered nurse, aunt, and a proud dog mom! I began my healthcare career as a CNA in a nursing home while in nursing school, where I learned the importance of patience, compassion, and hands-on care. After becoming an RN, I worked with psychiatric patients and also completed training as a school nurse, giving me valuable experience caring for children and managing their health needs in a supportive & structured setting. Currently, I work at a medical spa, but nurturing others will always be close to my heart. Whether it’s soothing your baby to sleep, sparking imagination through stories, helping with homework, exploring the outdoors, or sharing laughter over something silly. I’m passionate about creating a safe, uplifting space where kids feel loved, confident, and free to grow. I’m also passionate about shaping the future generation and enjoy guiding kids through challenges with patience and empathy. I’d be honored to bring warmth, reliability, and genuine care into your home. 💕
Hi! My name is Giada, and I’m currently a sophomore at CUNY Hunter College studying Social Work. I’m planning to apply to the BSW program, and I’m especially interested in working in mental health and helping others. I’ve always loved babysitting, mostly because I had a babysitter growing up who I really loved and looked forward to spending time with. I’ve been working with children since I was around 14 and have experience caring for toddlers and older children. I’ve also volunteered and worked at a summer camp for young children, which gave me even more experience spending time with and caring for kids. I would describe myself as patient, responsible, and caring. I love being outside with kids when the weather is nice and getting involved in whatever activities they enjoy. I’m also comfortable helping with homework, cooking, and keeping children entertained. Outside of school and babysitting, I enjoy listening to music, reading, and spending time with my friends.
Hi! My name is Eliza and I am currently earning my masters in social work at Columbia University. I graduated from Northeastern with a bachelors in psychology and human services in 2021 and have nearly a decade of babysitting experience. I am energetic, warm, and organized. From homework help, to pick ups and drop offs, to games and art projects, I am up for all the things! I have experience with multiple children at once (up to 8), infants, and children with physical and intellectual disabilities. I can provide references upon request!
I’m a working professional with a full-time role in analytics at a major book publisher, along with a strong background in both childcare and pet care. I grew up with a mom who was an in-home nanny, so caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. From a young age, I was around children of all ages, from newborns through middle school. For the past six years, I also worked as an art teacher before my recent move to the area, primarily working with kids ages 4–11. My experience also includes youth camp counseling, Girl Scouts, and tutoring, giving me a wide range of experience working with children in both educational and recreational settings. I am Adult and Pediatric CPR and First Aid certified through the American Red Cross, and I take safety, responsibility, and creating a comfortable environment for kids very seriously. I also have extensive experience with pets. I grew up with both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, from small terriers to Bernese Mountain Dogs. I’ve provided in-home pet care, dog walking, and pet sitting, and I love getting to know each pet’s individual routine and personality. Overall, I’m dependable, caring, and experienced, and I love being someone families can feel comfortable trusting with their children and pets.
