Hi! I'm a nurse who's currently looking for intermittent baby-sitting for date nights, errands, emergencies, etc. I've been a NICU nurse for 4 years and prior to that was a full time nanny for 5 years. I also babysat throughout most of middle school, high school, and parts of college. Most of my recent experience is from newborn to three years of age, but I do have experience with older children as well. I love infants and toddlers because they have such wonder and awe for the world around them and it's a special experience to watch and engage with their development and growth. I'm gentle, engaging, empathetic, and sympathetic in my care and avoid screen time when with the children. I love taking children to parks, museums, play dates, etc., but also just as happy to play games and read stories at home. I won't be able to have regularly scheduled gigs as my work schedule changes week by week, but would love to find a family or families to develop a longer term baby-sitting relationship with, as I feel continuity is better for both the children and the carers. I am also BLS and NRP certified. Thanks!
I started babysitting at 14 and have worked in childcare since then. I worked at a summer camp for five years, and have also have been a full time swim instructor for children ages 2-12. I have done private lessons and continued babysitting throughout. I love working with kids and enjoy watching them learn with a smile on their face!
Hi! My name is Josephine. I'm originally from Portland, Oregon, but recently graduated from Boston College in May, and moved to New York City in June! I've been babysitting since middle school and have the most experience caring for toddlers and school-age children, though I'm happy to work with kids of any age. I'm incredibly responsible, organized, and dependable, and I always strive to create a safe and fun environment for the children I care for. In addition to childcare, I'm happy to help around the house with cooking, cleaning, laundry, dog walking, and other household tasks. I also speak French and a little Spanish, and I'm glad to help with homework or provide extra academic support when needed. A little about me: I love spending time outdoors, exploring New York, and visiting art museums. Whether we're doing crafts, playing outside, reading books, or helping with homework, I enjoy finding activities that keep kids engaged and having fun. I'd love the opportunity to meet your family and help however l can!
Hi there! I’m excited to share a bit about myself. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, rooted in my upbringing in a large Mexican family. As the oldest cousin on both sides, I've been surrounded by kids my whole life. My mom is one of seven, which means I have 25 cousins on her side alone, plus 8 more on my dad’s side! Growing up in this vibrant family environment instilled in me a deep love for caring for children. From babysitting my younger cousins to organizing fun activities, I’ve learned how to adapt to different personalities and needs. I believe that every child deserves a safe, nurturing, and fun atmosphere, and I strive to create that in every interaction. I’m passionate about fostering creativity, encouraging curiosity, and making lasting memories. I look forward to the opportunity to connect with your family!

"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."
Lila P., parent

"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!"
