I have over 15 years experience formally babysitting a variety of age ranges. In addition, I have been a camp counselor, a tutor, a youth group peer leader, and a resident assistant in the dorms while in college. I also taught English in Thailand and worked with university women in Cambodia. I look forward to getting to know your family! Currently based in New York, NY (video is outdated!)
āTanya is wonderful! She put my 2 year old daughter at ease right away. Highly recommend!ā
I currently work for a family taking care of two young girls. My responsibilities include picking them up from school, preparing them for bed, and cleaning/cooking. I love my job as each day I learn something new and relearn to view the world though a child's point of view. Previously, I worked transporting kids of special needs in the yellow school bus. I as well have experience working as a home attendant with children and senior citizens for four years. I am also a single mom of two daughters. One is a nurse and the other one is studying in college. In addition, I ,myself, am studying in college working to get my GED and associates degree for medical assistant. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, and sewing. I am a friendly and patient person and love taking care of others.
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!
Hi Iām Valery š I am passionate about health, exercise, and aspire to become a doctor! I am the eldest of 5 children, and have been babysitting for over 10 years. My experience ranges from newborns to high school students. I have administered medication, made meals, cleaned homes professionally, and driven children throughout NYC and NJ. I have tutoring experience as well. I am fluent in English and Spanish and am open to teach too! I am responsible, energetic, and punctual. I have my own car and a clean driving record. I look forward to meeting you and your family! *upon booking, you agree to honor the full duration of the booking and compensate me accordingly, regardless of whether your return is earlier or later than initially planned.*
I'm Marina, and I'm based in Brooklyn. I currently work part-time as the Development and Partnerships Director for a nonprofit providing education and mental health support to women and girls in Afghanistan, and I have about 20-25 hours a week available for a family in need of extra help. I have 19+ years of experience working with children, from newborns through high school, across nannying, daycare, summer camp, tutoring, and classroom teaching. I've cared for children in one-on-one and group settings, for families in Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and internationally, including families with high-profile backgrounds. Depending on what your family needs, my time could look like after-school pickup and care, homework support, household logistics, scheduling, organizing, errand running, cooking dinner, pet care, or simply being a consistent and trustworthy presence in your children's lives. For tutoring, I specialize in English, writing, and critical thought for all ages, and cover math, science, and social studies through elementary school. I've taught students from preschool through 12th grade and tutored refugee youth in Brooklyn, often without shared language. My teaching style is rooted in observation and adaptability. I learn how each child thinks, what makes them feel safe, and where they need room to grow. My professional background is in educational and curriculum development. I performed on Broadway through my teens, then shifted into nonprofit work and volunteer teaching. I lived and taught at a school in India for close to two years, worked at a summer camp for refugee youth, and have held roles spanning operations, client experience, and learning and development. All of it has made me someone who pays close attention and builds trust with the people I work with. I emphasize technology-free, creative, and confidence-building play. I think carefully about who each child is and what they specifically need, and I bring that same intentionality to everything from an afternoon activity to a homework session. Of course, I still love a fun movie night! :) I've held certifications in Infant and Pediatric First Aid and CPR and am happy to be re-certified. I have a perfect driving record, I'm conversational in Spanish, and I'm an animal lover through and through. References available upon request. I work best with families that lead with compassion, open-mindedness, and joy. If that sounds like your household, I'd love to connect!
āOur baby liked her immediately. She listened to us and followed instructions well. She did a great job, will hire again.ā

"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!"
