Hello, My name is Carly. I am a preschool teacher living in Queens. I have a BFA in Fine Arts from Purchase College and a MSEd in Early Childhood Education from City College. I have about 10 years of experience working with children in a variety of ways including as a camp counselor, teacher, and babysitter. I love working with children and enjoy learning about their interests and gaining an understanding of their perspectives in the world. As a babysitter it is my goal to ensure the children feel secure and cared for, that their individuality is respected, to form a meaningful connection with them, and to be a valuable source of support in their lives as well as to their family.
Hi, I’m Tatyana, a dependable, capable, and thoughtful extra set of hands for families and households throughout New York City. For more than ten years, I’ve worked with children, pets, and busy households in different capacities, learning that no two families operate the same way. My approach is adaptable, intuitive, and grounded in understanding how to support a home without disrupting it. I started babysitting in middle school with my younger cousins and quickly became the neighborhood’s trusted sitter throughout high school. In 2021, I worked as a nanny for three children ages 5, 7, and 9, helping manage the rhythm of daily life through school support, meals, activities, park outings, crafts, games, and homework. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children at once and stepping in wherever needed to keep things running smoothly. In addition to childcare, I offer cat care, dog walking, light senior companionship, and household support including laundry, cooking, errands, organization, and deep cleaning. I understand that the best household support often comes from anticipating needs before they become tasks. Some families prefer structure and routines. Others thrive with flexibility. I adjust accordingly while remaining reliable, calm, and respectful of the systems already in place within your home. I enjoy reading with children, creative projects, board games, outdoor time, and creating an environment where children feel both safe and genuinely cared for. Availability • Evenings and weekends • One-time and occasional support Rates • $28/hour • $175 flat overnight rate I am not currently CPR certified but would be happy to obtain certification if requested. I look forward to connecting and learning how I can best support your family and home!!
I am a college student at Fordham University at Lincoln Center majoring in Business and minoring in theater. I am from New Jersey but live in New York during the school year.

I love playing with kids and keeping them entertained. I also know New York very well and know my way around safely. I know how to manage accidents and tantrums as well as soothe them when upset. I am also good with young children with special needs if needed.
Hi! My name is Sarah, and I'm originally from just outside of Boston. I am starting my Master's in School Counseling at Columbia University this fall to become a licensed elementary school counselor. I've been living in the Morningside Heights area for the past year and a half. I'm looking for a position with flexibility around my class schedule. I've been babysitting, working with, and volunteering with children since I was a teenager. I have experience caring for children of different ages, and I really enjoy getting to know each child's personality and interests. I'd love to find a family I can work with consistently throughout the school year!
Hi! My name is Sophie and I'm a 23 year old Poetry MFA student at Columbia. I adore working with children, and am passionate about the patience, care, and creativity that it takes to give children the love they need! As well as being an experienced babysitter since I was thirteen, I have been a preschool teacher since I was a junior in High school, working at Shirat Hayam preschool of the North Shore from 2[removed] and the Preschool of the Arts Cambridge as a full-time preschool assistant during the summer of 2021 and 2023. There, I worked in the infant classroom as well as substituting for the 4-5 year old class. After graduating from Bennington College in 2023, I also worked as an English teacher in Kazakhstan for seven months, teaching classrooms of teenagers. It's very important to me that I create a safe, open, and fun environment where kids can feel their best to explore and feel grounded. I am skilled at creating projects and games for children, changing diapers, and well-versed in caring for infants. I am CPR certified. Feel free to contact me about references!

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
