Hi! I’m Breana, I’ve always loved being around kids and helping families. I’m patient, caring, and easygoing, and I try to make every day fun but still structured. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or keeping a good routine, I like to make sure kids feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their parents are away. People usually describe me as reliable, calm under pressure, and great with communication. I take pride in showing up on time and giving my full attention to the kids I’m caring for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your child with someone, and I don’t take that lightly. I’d love to be someone your family can count on, whether it’s for regular help or last-minute care. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

During highschool I was tutor for math and science with over 800 hours of experience; so I can help your child with there studying. I am attending Cornell University for food science and I minoring in nutrition. I also have 4 amazing dogs so don’t worry about your pets around me I am more than happy to take care of them.

Hello, my name is Leesie! I’m currently a student attending St. John’s University pursuing my undergrad in health & human services. After college I plan to work with children with special needs - my inspiration for this is my dear brother Lincoln whom has autism. He’s my super star and I’ve helped my mom raise him up since I was 10 until leaving home to pursue my education. I hope to be able to help families out there that need assistance with their children from a wide range of ages; struggling work and home life which I know can be super stressful. My interests are out door activities, painting, sports and reading. I have no problem with cleaning after kids/ keeping things tidy also helping with homework if needed… however if you require me to cook I am working on my skills but I’d say I have a moderate ability to do so as a young adult and open to learning more through out this experience.
Hello! My name is Shay and I am a warm, conscientious, communicative, and emotionally intelligent nanny with a Mary Poppins-esque touch and over 10 years of in-home care experience. I am passionate about child development and dedicated to nurturing kind, curious, and resilient young humans. I am from San Francisco, California, and have been living in New York City for the past 5 years pursuing acting. In that time, I've worked primarily with two families each with three children. I have experience with children experiencing major life transitions (just moving to NYC from another country with another language and learning english for the first time at 3 years old), children with gross motor, fine motor, and speech delays with multiple therapists and S.E.I.T.'s, children with ADD, and newborns joining the family. I am also an educator at Cocoon (Membership-based social clubs welcoming families to learn, play & grow together) and teach music, art, preschool prep, and dance for children ages 6 months to 36 months. It has been my true joy to have as many relationships with families and children as I do. I treasure the moments rolling around on the floor laughing with elementary schoolers, when a 16 month old walks over to me to give a hug for the first time when I come to the door, or when baby wakes up and we have a cuddle before discovering what the rest of the day has in store for us. My strength comes from remembering how my parents treated me with so much love and patience when I was a kid. I have a true interest and curiosity for child development. I have a love for Montessori and fostering independence in children. I bring joy, energy, and a breadth of knowledge from babysitting and nannying for over 10 years with hundreds of families. I am always available for phone or in person interviews. My calendar is almost always up to date. My resume and reference letters are available upon request. I look forward to meeting you and your family! Best, Shay

Interacting with kids in all activities is what I do best. Whether it's work time or play time, I am there & ready to be a part of it. I am fun-loving, reliable, enthusiastic, & compassionate.
