Hi parents! 💕 I’m a calm, reliable NYC-based sitter with a naturally warm presence and a gentle, grounded way with babies, toddlers, school-age kids, preteens, and teens. I’m seeking a part-time, recurring position supporting a family who values consistency, emotional attunement, and thoughtful care.
Why families love working with me:
• Babies and kids feel comfortable with me right away
• Patient, emotionally attuned, and safety-conscious
• Calm energy, homes feel more peaceful, not more chaotic
• Clear, responsive, and dependable communication
• Great at balancing structure and fun during after-school hours
About me:
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance (honors)
• Creative background in music, movement, art, and storytelling
• Years of experience caring for infants, children, teenagers, cats, and dogs
• Non-smoker, non-drinker, clean, and respectful of your home
• Detail-oriented and highly reliable
With babies & kids, I’m great at:
• Infant care, soothing, and feeding routines
• Diaper changes, naps, and gentle sleep transitions
• School pickup and safely getting kids to after-school activities
• Helping with homework and keeping kids on track in a calm, supportive way
• Daily routines and age-appropriate structure
• Reading, imaginative play, and creative activities
• Connecting with school-age kids through conversation, humor, and shared interests
• Supporting sensitive, shy, or high-energy children
• Helping kids feel safe, regulated, and cared for
• Providing children with happy, fun, nourishing, and enriching experiences
Parents often tell me they notice their child feels calmer, happier, and more settled, even the next day, after spending time with me.
Around the house, I’m also very helpful:
• Excellent at tidying, cleaning, and organizing
• Comfortable handling household chores
• Can cook nourishing meals and help with food prep
• Naturally notice what needs to be done and take initiative
• Leave your home feeling calmer, cleaner, and more put-together
📍 Location: Manhattan (open to all of NYC)
🕰 Availability: Flexible for part-time, recurring care
✨ Also available for: date nights, events, and last-minute one-off care when my schedule allows
I’d love to connect with a kind family looking for steady, thoughtful support. Happy to hop on a quick call to see if we’re a good fit 💗
“Having Dani watch Lilah was an absolute joy. My daughter adored her. I'm a single mom with a 10 year old who has to hustle in LA so I really needed an attentive and loving sitter and Dani answered that call. Was great at communication, very warm, patient, and attentive to my little girl.
There was even an occasion that a shoot ran late and I had to have Dani stay after hours and she was so understanding and accommodating. A literal lifesaver. I can tell she loves what she does. I really think Lilah built such an attachment to her!”
