“The lady that makes life fun”- Cecilia, age 9 Hi there, I’m Emily! With 7 years of experience as a nanny, non-profit outdoor educator and summer camp owner- there is no doubt I adore working with kids. I am inspired by the love, curiosity, silliness, and joy they bring to every day, and I certainly aim to do the same. I’m also here to support your whole household, whether that’s light cleaning, meal prep, school transportation, or helping keep schedules organized. I work to create a warm, safe, and fun environment where your child feels supported. Originally from Lake Tahoe, spending time away from screens and immersed in the world is very important to me. I am looking to work with a great family in New York through the end of November, before returning to the mountains to ski! Cpr/ first aid certified. Youth Mental Health First Air Certified.

“Emily babysat for my son 3 days in a row in Tahoe. She’s amazing. She’s professional, fun, patient and an all-around great person. Two of the days she skied with my son. He had a great time. She also drove him and another child (booked her with another family one of the days) and I felt completely comfortable with her taking them. On the last day that she watched him they did all sort of fun projects from building a snow fort to science projects and games. I feel really lucky to have met her. She is great with kids and has terrific work ethic.”

Booked by 3 families in Brooklyn, NY

Hello, I am Jaelyn, a senior in college with extensive experience in childcare. My background includes working in an after-school program in Carroll Gardens, where I interacted with children from pre-K to 5th grade. Additionally, being an aunt of 10 has given me many experience in caring for babies below the age of 5. I’m looking to make some extra money on the side to help pay the bills. Throughout my previous roles, I successfully ensured the safety of the children, managed food safety for those with allergies and dietary restrictions, acted as a mediator to resolve conflicts, organized and led various activities to foster teamwork, facilitated snack time, and supported children in processing their emotions. If you are in search of someone with these skills, I am confident that I am the right fit for the position. Thank you for considering my candidacy!

I'm a 35 year old Australian who has moved to the US with my husband. I have many nieces, nephews and friend's children who I loved to care for back home. I have also been a babysitter/nanny for 4 years in Manhattan and Brooklyn. I am comfortable caring for children of all ages, from infant to pre-teens. I am available all weekdays in the AM at present, as I work with a family I have been with long term in the afternoon. I'm always happy to accommodate your family needs to make life a little easier, including laundry, light housework, etc. I live in Brooklyn but happy to take work in Manhattan also. Look forward to hearing from you and meeting your family. Courtney

“Courtney was fabulous - charming and kind and great fun. Will absolutely work with her again!”

Booked by 1 family in Brooklyn, NY

Hi! My name is Amelia, I’m 22 years old, and was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. I recently graduated from the University of Vermont, where I majored in Studio Art and minored in Art History. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love working with kids and have babysitting experience through the Babysitters Guild, where I worked for three summers in a row, as well as experience working at a sleepaway camp. I enjoy doing arts and crafts, playing games, spending time outside, reading, and creating a fun and comfortable environment for kids. I’m also a huge animal lover and have a cat and dog of my own. I’m happy to help with dog walking, feeding, playtime, fresh water, litter box care, and general pet sitting. I’m comfortable with different animals and always make sure to follow their routines and any specific instructions from their owners. I’m also happy to help around the house with tidying, dishes, laundry, organizing, taking out the trash, and errands. I’m dependable, patient, and communicative, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your kids, pets, and home!

Hi! I’m Aubrey. Nice to meet you! I’ve lived in Brooklyn for over three years now and currently live in Gowanus. Before moving to NYC for my day job, I spent an incredible year and a half as a live-in au pair in London after graduating from college. While an au pair, I looked after two kids—1.5 y/o girl and a 4 y/o boy—which gave me lots of hands-on experience from morning routines, school drop-offs and pick-ups, and outings to parks and museums, to evening babysitting. I loved my time with the kids, and so continuing to babysit alongside my day job here in NYC. Outside of work, I love staying active and spending time outdoors. I ran the NYC Marathon last fall, and when I’m not running around the neighborhood, I love cooking and spending time with friends and family.
