Hi, my name is Iris. I have experienced working with kids from age infants to adolescents. I am responsible, puntual, honest, respectful, and hard working person.

Activities that I will do with the kids is read books, play puzzle, bubbles, arts and crafts, singing, dancing with the child, taking he or she to the park.

Hi all! Iam a very empathetic and trustworthy caregiver who is extremely reliable. Iam very respectful and have a heart of gold! Personally, I take a child-centered approach. Although I’m happy to introduce fun activities and make suggestions, I’m even more interested in listening to what children are into and encouraging them to explore. This means that I’m willing to allow them to, for instance, climb on playground equipment that they may not be familiar with, which means I will shadow them to prevent any falls. Most importantly, It is important to me that you as the parent, and I as the caretaker are on the same page about how you want your children to be taken care of. I also assist with H.W, bedtime routine, meal prep, medication administration, hygiene care, all while under DIRECT supervision. For my infants, Iam experienced in warming and unfreezing breast milk, burping, Iam able to tell if a child is hungry or tired, diaper changing and how to properly hold a little one, especially before their neck is strong. One of my FAVORITE moments while babysitting, is when one of my kiddos who is on the spectrum, after YEARS of turning down anything that wasn’t a chicken nugget or pizza, FINALLY took his first few bites of a different food with ME! I can’t explain how extremely happy i felt. After YEARS of patience, understanding, determination and emotional support, we hit a goal TOGETHER! I can go on and on about my rewarding experience as a caretaker, but I’m not sure if I’ll ever stop! I look forward to working with you and your family!

“Chanaiya worked for my family as a babysitter and was always dependable, caring, and professional. She has a warm personality and was wonderful with the children, keeping them safe, engaged, and well cared for. She was punctual, responsible, and communicated well with us at all times. We always felt comfortable leaving our children in her care and appreciated the patience and kindness she showed every day. I highly recommend Chanaiya to any family looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver.”

I speak English and Spanish, I’m responsible, dependable, and caring, and I have excellent and impeccable references from families I’ve worked with.

Booked by 4 families in Ozone Park, NY

Hi there! My name is Lindy and I’m a 26-year-old artist and textile-maker living in Brooklyn. I graduated cum laude from NYU three years ago where I studied mental health with a focus on children and adolescents. I am passionate about early childhood, and this fall, I’ll be back in school working towards my masters degree in art therapy. In the mean time, I’m looking for part-time nanny work and regular babysitting opportunities! :) I adore children and have been babysitting since an early age. In addition, I have experience working as a teacher’s assistant at my local temple, a day care assistant, and as an intern at a children’s arts camp in Brooklyn. In total, I have over 5 years of experience caring for children aged 3 months to 12+. I've spent the past three years since graduating college nannying part-time. One of my previous nanny families described me as “kind, sensitive, attentive, and simply a lovely human being…who has very much become a part of our family.” I am fully vaccinated and boosted as well as CPR and First Aid certified. Let me know if you’d like to speak to my references!

“Lindy helped us out last minute when our full-time caregiver had a family emergency. She was calm, kind and mature and easygoing about our toddler being in a cranky mood. Our 5 year old also had fun playing with her. ”
