Booked by 16 families in Hollis, NY

With over a decade of experience in diverse household settings, I bring a versatile, positive approach to childcare. My background in social work and psychology, combined with extensive hands-on experience, allows me to understand and support all stages of childhood development. I'm passionate about creating nurturing environments that foster children's potential and imagination. In the kitchen, I love involving kids as my little sous chefs, preparing nutritious meals and snacks that cater to all ages and palates. My culinary expertise spans various cuisines, with a special fondness for Japanese, Chinese, Indian, and Middle Eastern flavors. Beyond childcare, I'm a certified doula and completed The Aura Institute's Pregnancy and Birth Practitioner training in 2023. This expertise allows me to support families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, focusing on holistic wellness and empowerment. As a certified yoga teacher, I bring a calm, balanced approach to my work, adapting to each family's unique needs and routines.

Hi families, my name is Hermela. I have over 14 years of part-time babysitting and nannying experience. I am looking for occasional and part-time work. I love working with children and helping them grow and learn. I enjoy working on creative crafts and games with kids. I can help with homework or general tutoring, as I have worked as a tutor in the past as well. I am also comfortable with dogs and cats in the house. In my free time I enjoy going on walks and exploring the city, and doing pottery.

Hi guys, I have my BSN in nursing currently studying for my license. I have babysat for over 7 years personally but worked with kids for 9 years since I worked in summer camps. EXPERIENCES: I have worked in clinical settings with children such as pediatrics and NICU. But I also have experience with children with autism and ADHD for over 4 years. I have also worked with children that have diabetes. I understand that patience, caring and love is key. I want each child to feel safe and have the space to grow. I am CPR certified and have availability throughout the day. I am also willing to do last minute bookings! During the last couple of months we have all needed a break, feel free to message me for a date night or when you need some extra help while working. I love playing board games and building buildings with connective blocks! I currently have experience with a 3 year-old. I am accustom to picking up the child from school and taking her to activities. I love encouraging children to be who they want to be. For instance, if a child wants to be creative or sporty we will either spend the day painting or go an adventure through the park. I have also had experience working with a 5 year old who was very active. I can range with different ages of children because I have experience of working with children in an urban environment. The children were able to explore nature and it’s beauty. I try my best to enforce the safest environment possible with both the child and the parent. I have worked with parents usually for the long term but am looking for occasional gigs. A fun fact about me is that I have played and taught basketball, tennis and was a volunteer soccer assistant with the ages groups of 7-13. I also love to play board games and carry an Uno deck of cards for when I babysit with older kids. Will gladly do phone interviews and in person interviews. I also drive so don’t mind staying out late if you needed extra time! Feel free to message me for same day jobs! Thank you for your time

Booked by 22 families in Hollis, NY

Hello, I'm Gina and I’m so excited to work with you! I’m a graduate of NYU where I received my Masters of Music in Vocal Performance (musical theatre). I’ve received in person guided and hands on training/instruction and certification in both adult and infant First Aid and CPR. I’m the middle child of three children, and one of 22 grandchildren in my family so I am very accustomed to being surrounded by young children running around! My mother has worked as an early childhood educator/administrator my entire life. Many of the tactics she utilized in her classroom were the same ones she used raising my siblings and I. I’ve learned much of what I use in childcare from her, including helping the young ones with their coursework! I worked as a sitter in the Chicagoland area before moving here to NYC for school and am now looking for new families to work with. Hope to connect soon!

Booked by 24 families in Hollis, NY

Hi, my name is Anikka and I have graduated with a Sociology Degree with a minor in Spanish. I have obtained my masters degree in School Counseling to hopefully become a School Counselor. I have been working with children since i was 14 years old and have been continuing to do for the past 12 years. During these past 12 years, I have babysat children ranging from infancy through 11 years of age. In addition, I was a tutor for 5 years where i have helped children with their homework and helping them advance to the next reading level. In the previous summers, i had the chance to work at a summer day camp as the head counselor where I had identify the campers needs and talk to parents on issues that their child may be going through. Lastly, I promote and encourage healthy and safe behaviors to children. I love babysitting because I love making everlasting memories with the children while teaching them new things. In my free time, i like to crochet scarves, write songs, cooking, gardening, drawing, playing video games, just simply being me!
