Hello! I'm Marisol and I live on the Upper West Side in Manhattan and am available in all 5 boroughs. I am 31 years old and have extensive experience with working with children and babysitting. I have worked at a Preschool in Park Slope, Les Petits Bilingues De New York, and babysat for several families in Westchester, NY. I have baby sat for 6 years. I am very creative and believe that playing and engaging with the kids I babysit is very important. I'm not about just putting them in front of a screen and sitting on my phone. I'm big on making sure your kids will have fun and get to bed on time. My brother is on the spectrum so kindness is something I really value and I will be very kind to your kids and encourage them in any way I can. I can cook, clean, and make sure everyone gets to bed at their appropriate bed time. I look forward to working for you and your family:) I also love all animals (I'm randomly allergic to cows..but that shouldn't be a problem in NYC ;) and am great at cleaning.
Hi everyone! My name is Kate, and I am seeking a part-time or full-time nanny position. I grew up in Ridgewood, NJ, and I am a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am moving to NYC in the fall to begin my master’s in Mental Health Counseling at Fordham University. I have over 6 years of childcare experience, working with children from 2 weeks to 11 years old. I love spending time outdoors, doing crafts, cooking, and finding creative ways to keep kids active and entertained. I’m happy to help with transportation, activities, meals, and more. I’m also comfortable with pets and happy to assist with light housekeeping if needed!
I am a college student at Fordham University at Lincoln Center majoring in Business and minoring in theater. I am from New Jersey but live in New York during the school year. I have babysat for 8 years with CPR certification. I have been working as a camp counselor for children ages 3-11 for since 2019 to present. I am also a lifeguard since 2023. I love playing with kids and keeping them entertained. I also know New York very well and know my way around safely. I know how to manage accidents and tantrums as well as soothe them when upset. I am also good with young children with special needs if needed.
NYC born and raised (Lower Manhattan), I've been babysitting kids ages 1–12 for years and genuinely love it. Whether it's completing a puzzle on the living room floor, exploring the city together, or picking them up from practice or class, I'm happiest spending time with kids and keeping them engaged. I'm experienced with the full routine from meals, bedtime, baths, the works, and I take full responsibility to make sure everything is taken care of for the child. I have a very flexible schedule over the next few weeks before heading back to college, so I can work around your family's needs.
