Hello! My name is Nicky, and I am a junior in college currently available for part-time childcare. I have been babysitting for several years, primarily working with children between the ages of infant to 13. I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable. Along with childcare, I am happy to help with household responsibilities such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, and academic support. Outside of school and babysitting, I am a college student-athlete, so I love staying active and getting outside. I enjoy encouraging kids to put down the screens, get some fresh air, and have fun through outdoor activities, games, and playtime. I also have a strong passion for the arts. I enjoy theater, dance, literature, drawing, knitting, crocheting, and other creative activities. I love incorporating these interests into childcare through crafts, creative projects, reading, and imaginative play. Music is another big part of my life. I have experience with piano, percussion, guitar, and vocals, and I also offer one-on-one music lessons for children who are interested in learning an instrument or developing their vocal skills. Overall, I love working with children and creating activities that match their interests and personalities. I would be happy to help your family with childcare, homework, household tasks, creative activities, and keeping your children active and engaged!
Hi! My name is Tetiana. I have about 4 years of experience working as a nanny and caring for children in a safe, patient, and responsible way. I enjoy helping children with daily routines, playtime, meals, reading, creative activities, and light learning activities. I am calm, attentive, reliable, and organized. Families can count on me to follow instructions, keep children safe, and create a positive and comfortable environment. I have experience with childcare during the day, evenings, and weekends. I am also comfortable helping with light household tasks related to the children, such as preparing simple meals, tidying play areas, and keeping routines on schedule. I truly enjoy working with kids and supporting families when they need extra help.
“Me and my husband extremely happy with the care and dedication our nanny provides. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, always creating a safe and positive environment. Her ability to engage, teach, and support development has made a noticeable difference. We fully trust her and highly recommend her to any family looking for exceptional childcare.”
Hi, I’m Nerlande and I’m currently working as a DIRECT SUPPORT PROFESSIONAL and I’ve been taking care of young adults/ seniors for years now. I really enjoy working with them because it’s important to me to know how life is unpredictable and challenging for some of us. My responsibilities include driving to/from school, run errands, etc…
My name is Emma and I am a passionate, experienced teacher and educator with a goal to make a difference for the families I work with. I have over 18 years of childcare experience and have worked in Spain, France and Switzerland in addition to the US as a nanny and babysitter as well as private tutor for children ages 5 months-18. I was born in the United States (Connecticut) and have worked in the public and private school system in the northeastern United States, California, Hawaii and France and Switzerland. I taught preschool and elementary school for over 11 years, after graduating from Smith College. In addition, I recently began teaching high school French, ELL and Spanish. I am currently a high school French teacher at an international school in Thornwood New York. My overall childcare experience began in 2007, when I started working as a nanny in CT; from there, I continued throughout my teaching career to do childcare work. I hold a B.A. in French and Education from Smith College (Northampton, MA, USA, May 2007) and a Masters degree in Educational Sciences from University of Geneva ( Geneva, Switzerland, June, 2023). The summer of 2023, I worked as a live-in Aupair for a family in Sant Cugat, Catalonia, Spain, and learned basic Spanish during this time. I believe in diversity, inclusion and that all children thrive in a stimulating environment that meets their individual needs in a creative way. I really love the work I do with young children. (I am passionate about working with all ages, but particularly enjoy working with babies). I'm reliable, energetic and professional. Whether as a short-term solution or long-term support, I look forward to creating a supportive, loving and authentic relationship with families. I am currently looking for a part-time babysitting/nannying job this summer (2025)
Hi, I’m Dominion, and I’m a biology graduate from the college of mount Saint Vincent, NY. I used to work as a microbiologist and now preparing for my masters program. I offer reliable child care, and household services. I have a passion for babysitting and have been caring for children—from newborns to preteens, including all my little cousins during summer vacations. My experience includes school pickups, engaging activities like crafts, tutoring, and even managing dance lessons. In addition to babysitting, I could provide household support, including cleaning, and running errands. I have experience caring for my grandparents, so I'm comfortable with senior care, whether it’s preparing meals, or helping with daily tasks. My hobbies include listening to music, YouTube, shopping, working in a laboratory and reading leisurely. Looking forward to meeting you!
“When my mother-in-law was unexpectedly unavailable, I reached out to Dominion and she saved the day! She arrived on time and instantly connected with my 6-month-old, which is no easy feat considering that I work from home and my daughter is super attached to me. I was instantly comforted by my daughter's smile when Dominion reached for her and by Dominion's innate ability to soothe her when she did get a bit fussy later in the day. She understood my daughter's cues, and we had a chance to laugh about them together after I had finished a few meetings. She also treated my home with great respect and showed a genuine interest in getting to know my family. I know I will continuously reach out to her when needed. Thank you, Dominion!”
