Find a wedding babysitter in Brooklyn, NY

Hello, parents! My name is Sara. I am a nanny and early childhood educator with 20 years of experience in childcare, the past 16 years nannying in NYC for private families. I live near Prospect Park in Brooklyn. I studied music therapy at Berklee College of Music with an emphasis on early childhood development and child psychology. While working towards my degree, I taught in the two year old and three year old programs in a local preschool, and served as the music director at a Boston Gymboree. I am a huge believer in child-led play, respectful discipline, and nourishing the imagination. I have availability for babysitting on weekends, late nights, and occasionally when my nanny family travels. I try to keep my calendar up to date to reflect open availability. If you have any questions, please feel free to message!

***JUST RETURNING AFTER SOME TIME OFF. IF I MISSED YOUR MESSAGE, I’LL BE IN TOUCH SOON! Hi! I’m Mel, your child’s future best friend, and I’m here to make your life a little bit easier! ☺️ I’m a warm, proactive, engaging, and highly experienced childcare professional with 15+ years of experience caring for children of all ages, from brand-new babies to teenagers and just about every stage in between. My approach to childcare is rooted in the belief that kids deserve to feel safe, respected, understood, and supported. I love getting to know who each child actually is: their personality, interests, quirks, sense of humor, strengths, and the things that make them light up. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to children, and that’s one of my favorite things about this work. I have a strong background in child development and a particular interest in child psychology, emotional regulation, and helping children build confidence and independence. I also have extensive experience caring for neurodivergent children, including children with ADHD and autism, and I’m comfortable adapting routines, communication, activities, and expectations to meet each child where they are. I’m equally happy getting silly on the floor with little ones, planning adventures and creative activities with bigger kids, helping with homework, navigating a tough emotional moment, or hanging out with a teenager who is far too cool to admit they enjoy having me around. Beyond childcare, I bring a lot to a household. I have a medical background and am CPR/BLS certified, along with extensive experience in household management, home organization, meal planning, and cooking. I’m a confident personal chef, a passionate organizer, and someone who genuinely enjoys bringing a little order to the chaos of busy family life. Whether that means keeping household tasks on track, reorganizing a playroom, prepping meals, tackling an overflowing closet, or simply noticing what needs to be done and taking care of it, I love helping families make their homes and routines run more smoothly. Most importantly, I take the trust families place in me seriously. I want parents to feel completely comfortable knowing their children are safe, cared for, and in capable hands while they’re with me. Every family is different, and I’d love to hear about yours, your children, your routines, and what would make your life run a little more smoothly. It takes a village, and I’d love to be part of yours.

Hi! My name is Nancy, and hopefully, I'll be your family's next babysitter. I live in Bed-Stuy and first moved to Brooklyn 10+ years ago. But, I was born and raised in Oakland, CA. I have grown up working in childcare environments. My mom is a preschool teacher for the Oakland Unified School District, so I've spent most of my life tagging along and assisting her in every aspect of her job - the curriculum, nutrition, or just fun time. Formerly, I was a full time nanny for a 3 month old til she was 18 months old and started Montessori. I’m particularly experienced with that age of development from bottle feeding, preparing homemade baby food, doing some family assistant, and more I am experienced babysitting for all ages, from newborns to preteens. My skills with children can be catered to your child and adapted to any environment. I have experience with families from the conscious Bay Area lifestyle to the alternatively fast-paced Los Angeles and New York clientele. (I've lived and babysat in all cities) I love children, and they love me. As a caretaker, I don't believe in being absent-minded or distant. Being introduced to new people can be difficult for children. It is best to make the transition easier through hands-on, enriching approaches such as games, creative activities, storytelling, field trips, etc. Plus, it helps that I can be just as silly as any kid! Skills - • College graduate with corporate work history •Can do light housecleaning and cooking - I'm a passionate cook and great with cleaning. •I'm fluent in Vietnamese - written and verbal. •Experienced with severe food allergies. •Very experienced taking on a household manager role and I have over two years of personal assistant experience. • I am experienced in the hospitality industry so that I can maintain a bright, hospitable attitude. I also plan great birthday parties! Examples of activities I would do with your kids: •Cooking - kids love making pizzas, helping me cook, trying new foods •Baking - baking or decorating with kids. Can be GF, Dairy free, refined sugar free •Crafts - puzzles, paintings, drawings, etc •Writing & drawing storybooks •Going to the park •Exploring a museum, exhibit, or children's focussed art/music studio As a professional, experienced, educated, warm, and bubbly babysitter, I would make an excellent choice for your kids! My personality is best expressed in person, so let's schedule an interview! Thanks for considering me!

I'm a NYC native that has lived and worked as a nanny in both NYC and LA. I graduated from NYU with a BA in Creative Writing and minored in Early Childhood Education - which has benefited me greatly in my time spent with kids! I am from a large family and grew up around a bunch of kids. I've been babysitting for ten years, have been a full time nanny for 5, and have also taught as a children's music teacher, and summer camp swim instructor. I pride myself on being responsible, outgoing, and honest. A hectic household has always been familiar to me; and is sometimes where I feel most comfortable! I'm a runner, a writer, and live a really healthy and active lifestyle. As a nanny, I always try to lead with kindness and curiosity. I really believe in following the interests of the kids and allowing them to have safe and creative spaces to explore childhood and the various emotions that come with that. I'm just as comfortable taking a 3 year old to a museum as I am playing soccer or freeze-tag in the park -- and always try to find fun in the dull moments! I'm currently looking for full time positions. *I charge for full time booked if cancelled within 12 hours

With over a decade of experience in diverse household settings, I bring a versatile, positive approach to childcare. My background in social work and psychology, combined with extensive hands-on experience, allows me to understand and support all stages of childhood development. I'm passionate about creating nurturing environments that foster children's potential and imagination. In the kitchen, I love involving kids as my little sous chefs, preparing nutritious meals and snacks that cater to all ages and palates. My culinary expertise spans various cuisines, with a special fondness for Japanese, Chinese, Indian, and Middle Eastern flavors. Beyond childcare, I'm a certified doula and completed The Aura Institute's Pregnancy and Birth Practitioner training in 2023. This expertise allows me to support families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, focusing on holistic wellness and empowerment. As a certified yoga teacher, I bring a calm, balanced approach to my work, adapting to each family's unique needs and routines.
