Booked by 1 family in Mill Neck, NY

Hi- My name is Mercedes. I have a Master Degree in Early Childhood. As a toddler teacher, I spend my days singing silly songs, reading animated storybooks, building block towers, and turning everyday moments into fun learning adventures. I’m very familiar with routines (and how important they are!), whether it’s snack time, clean-up time, or winding down for bed. My personality is warm, patient, and playful. I’m the kind of caregiver who will happily sit on the floor to play, love story time, and celebrate even the smallest accomplishments. At the same time, I’m calm, dependable, and confident when handling big feelings or tricky moments. I have experience caring for multiple children at once, planning engaging activities, and creating a safe, nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and happy. Most importantly, I treat every child like they are my own.

“Mercedes was great! She was timely and responsive and everything is alive still! Would hire again. ”

Celia $18 per hour for 1 child

I am from Stamford I currently work full time as an accountant. I am very family oriented and love children. I started baby sitting when I was 12, and have babysat both on an “as-needed” basis and full-time. I love all ages, though I have the most experience working with newborn-toddler ages. I love being active, which is my favorite part of nannying/babysitting.

Nicky $35 per hour for 1 child

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!

Jocelyn $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Jocelyn! I’m currently a college student at Baruch College. My services include child care, dog and pet care. My experience with taking care of kids go way back to when I was taking care of younger relatives since I was around 10. I’m currently a chaperone for 2 kids on Saturdays and watching them do their online tutoring. I can practically do everything you need for child care! I mainly do pickup from school to home or to an afterschool activity but no at home sitting. I am also a math tutor so I can do tutoring at the library with your child if needed! As for pet experience, I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of family pets (mostly dogs) and making sure they’re fed on time, walking them, and making sure they’re happy overall!
