Hi there! I’m Madeleine, and I’m attending NYU at the moment. I am a Psychology major, and find working with kids fascinating as you can really see skills and proficiencies develop. I have worked as a babysitter for children from 5-12, and as a summer camp counselor for children from 4-13. I have also worked in temporary childcare for children from 6 months to 12 years. I am a former STEM school student, where I volunteered as a tutor for Math, Science, and SAT prep. I am able to assist with homework or skill building in these areas. I previously sang in a choir for seven years, in multiple vocal parts, and am able to work with learning solfège or sight reading.
Hi, I'm Victoria! I have 8+ years of babysitting and nannying experience in NYC and have recently re-entered the babysitting world after getting my MBA! I work full time in finance but have been missing getting to work with kids. Originally from Upstate NY, I moved to NYC to pursue a BFA in dance and have since transitioned to the business and finance realm. Some background on my experience: I have been babysitting for the past 10 years and I love to work with kids. I have worked with children from ages 2 months to 12 years old. I have also taught creative movement classes and dance to kids of all ages, so I am very accustomed to high energy and can match that of your child. I have also tutored children and worked in classroom settings. I am a very active and enthusiastic person, which I love to share with the kids I work with. I love to babysit because growing up, my babysitters had a positive influence on me and became very important to me, so I want to give others that experience and be a fun, inspiring babysitter and positive role model. I do not treat this job as daily work, I treat each family as my own and make sure the family and children receive the best care possible! Additionally, I have done volunteer work with reading to preschoolers, helping elementary school students after school with tutoring, and volunteering at daycare services for kids. A fun fact about me is that I love art, reading, and pets! I hope to get to know you and your family in the future!
Hello my name is Jaden and I’m NYC based. I have a very flexible schedule and have lots of experience taking care of children. I’ve worked as a camp counselor at a summer camp for kids of all ages, babysat regularly throughout school, and have nanny’d for multiple families now throughout the city. Some of my hobbies include baking, bike riding, watching movies, and reading.
“Jaden is excellent. He was punctual and immediately engaged with the kids. They always enjoy their time with him. ”
Hi, my name is Mashiyat and I have been working with kids since I was 16 and have always enjoyed it. I worked my summers in high school at a science and engineering camp where I was a counselor for ages 5-7. I became early education and care certified in college when I was a teaching assistant for the on campus daycare primarily as an infant/toddler daycare teacher. In addition to providing direct care for the babies in my classroom, I also have experience working with infants as a medical assistant for a pediatrician’s office and worked directly with families at a children’s hospital to enroll them into clinical trials. Although I have mostly worked with infants and toddlers, I also have experience with kids of all age groups from summer camp or other previous babysitting positions.
I am a reliable sitter committed to developing a trustworthy connection with the families I work with! I aim to create a fun environment for the children I care for while also being responsible and safe. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED trained. I am an experienced diaper changer and potty trainer, too! A very kind review left on another platform by a previous family I’ve worked with: "Before moving to New York, Chaslyn was a nanny/ babysitter for our family when my daughter was 3-5 years old. We miss her terribly! She is a phenomenal caregiver and person. She is incredibly responsible and dependable, and is also loving and playful. She was a bright light for us during the midst of the pandemic! My daughter (now almost 7) has such wonderful memories of that time because of Chaslyn. A family that finds her is truly lucky."
