Booked by 1 family in New Rochelle, NY

Hello! My name is Lilly! I have my Bachelors in Early Childhood and Childhood Education and am currently pursuing my Masters in Childhood Special Education. I also have experience from working as an assistant at an Child Care Center with children ranging from 5-12 years old and diaper changing from my younger cousins. I have a passion for working with children, want to help them learn new things, and can implement age- appropriate activities. I am very patient, punctual, compassionate, attentive, responsible, and prioritize safety and comfort. I enjoy reading, arts & crafts, and games! I am available for child care services & light household services. ****I would like to find jobs that are in the NYC area as I do not have a car and rely on public transportation. ***** I grew up with a chihuahua and currently have 2 cats. I am comfortable with both dogs and cats and can assist with feeding and playtime if needed. If you have any questions, please reach out. I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you!

“Lilly was extremely professional and reliable. My 11 year old son warmed up to her, so did our two small dogs! She was very diligent. She made sure to listen to our expectations and delivered perfect care. I would recommend her services. ”

Hi! I’m Chris, a Cornell University graduate and Youth Engagement Specialist with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teens.

I specialize in evening, weekend, and date-night childcare, and I enjoy creating a calm, safe, and engaging environment for children while parents are out. I’m dependable, easygoing, and comfortable with bedtime routines, meals, playtime, and light household support as needed. I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family.

Shajna 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in New Rochelle, NY

Hi my name is Shajna and I am a stay at home mother. I have three children of my own so I have a lot of experience!! I can work with toddlers and infants. I can work around the house, feeding and putting them to sleep and taking them to school. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands.

“Shajna responded to an unusual request for a targeted intensive two weeks with our nine month old while I traveled on business. We are so lucky she did! Shajna was a marvelous nanny: professional, engaged, warm, responsible, and a joy to be around. She expertly learned our daughter's rhythms and got her to sleep faster than we imagined possible. She is an abundantly generous, unobtrusive and friendly presence to boot. We cannot recommend her highly enough!”

Booked by 3 families in New Rochelle, NY

Hi my name is Angela and I am currently a stay at home wife. I am offering childcare in your home and household services. I love being a sitter to children of any age group. I enjoy singing lullabies to newborns as much as counting numbers and things to coloring and reading books with toddlers, the joy I get from reading to children 😊 I have cleaned many homes, from vacuuming to laundry to organizing and also run errands (walking distance) because I don’t drive. Most importantly I am very loving towards children and trustworthy and respectful to the children as well as their parents and household. Thank you, Angela

“We hired Angela to substitute for our regular nanny when she took six weeks leave. Angela stepped in and immediately made our kids feel comfortable and safe. They took to her right away and even after six weeks they are always glad to see her. She has a handle on them at all times - her guidance and nurturing of them has been impeccable. She did art projects with them, played on the floor with them, read with them, and was completely focused on them at all times. We feel so much respect and affection for Angela. We will miss her very much.”

Booked by 1 family in New Rochelle, NY

Hello! I'm a writing professor at CUNY during the academic year, available over the summer to take thoughtful and attentive care of your children. I love working with kids for the same reasons I love teaching writing: creating a compassionate and structured environment for young people to follow their interests and curiosities with joy. I approach caregiving with energy and humor, and outside of work, I love cooking new recipes, exercising, and taking improv comedy classes.
