Kamila 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Flushing, NY

Hello everyone! My name is Kamila and I have been living in NYC for a little over 6 years. I moved here after going to music school in Boston. I’m a singing songwriter and work within arts administration/operations. Since moving to the city, I have worked with children ages 3 to 11, and I’ve learned so much. I enjoy fostering a sense of creativity and playfulness in the kids I get to hang with, and I’ve also taught beginner piano lessons for families around NYC and Brooklyn. I also have been petsitting/housesitting for doggies and kitties on the east and west coasts of the US and abroad over the last 3-4 years. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know your family :)

“Without hesitation, if you are looking for someone to care for your child/children…look no further! Kamila’s kindhearted and creative sensibilities allow her to engage with children at their level while still ensuring structure when needed. Our 5 year old son always looked forward to having her care for him. Kamila would respond promptly to my texts/calls while caring for him and would also send pictures of their day together. Kamila was very accommodating in many ways, from last minute care requests, to caring for him in untraditional locations (like in a recreation complex), to even helping support our family while moving. She consistently arrived to work on time and never called out last minute. (In fact, I’m not sure she ever called out!) Even though we only had Kamila with our family for a few months before she moved, she quickly became a delightful addition to our family. She would be the same for you.....enjoy!”

Alexandra $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Alex and I’m currently a college student at the New School. I have been babysitting for the past three years for children around the ages of five to twelve. I also have experience in tutoring children in reading and writing. I’m also an art student so if your child has any interest in art I’d be more than happy to nurture their interest in teaching them and taking them to art museums. I also have experience in caring for cats and reptiles. So if you have either I’d be willing to care for them in anyway they need.

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.

Yaritza $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Yaritza, and I’m currently a sophomore at NYU. I’ve had hands-on childcare experience since I was 14, caring for my nieces, which helped me develop a genuine love for working with children. I’m comfortable picking children up from daycare or school, assisting with homework, and engaging them in fun and age-appropriate activities. I’m also happy to help with light cleaning and running errands when needed.
