Hi, My name is Angela and am originally from Wales in Great Britain, UK. I am now a triple citizen (USA, UK, Italy). My vacation to America back in 1981 resulted in acquiring a green card from working as a Governess/Nany for a Dr. and his family in Tenafly, NJ. The children, boy & girl were 7 & 4 years of age when took care of them. I love children and have recently returned to babysitting. My work is video production therefore have a flexible schedule as run my own business. I am divorced and have no children and have 2 nieces in New Jersey and a nephew in Wales. My hobbies are dance, music, photography and yoga, recently completing my teachers training in yoga. Here is a recent testimonial: "Angela has done a wonderful job caring for my daughters, ages 4 and 7. She picks them up from school 3 days per week in two different locations and takes them to after school activities. She has been extremely reliable and easy to communicate with, and is kind and patient with my girls. I always feel confident that they are in good hands. We are so fortunate to have her helping us out with our busy after school schedule! I would highly recommend her to other parents."
“Angela was our regular babysitter for nearly 2 years, from when our son was 2-3 years old until we had our second baby. She did pick up for us 1-2x a week. Angela is a gem of a find in NYC -- extremely reliable, flexible, gentle, gracious and a truly good person. She is like hiring an aunt or extended family member. She will love your children, practice yoga with them, dote on them and be a beautiful presence in your own life. Any family would be lucky to have her as part of their support network!”
Hi I’m Valery 😊 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.*
***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.
“She was truly wonderful with my children! My five and eight year old loved her immediately. She was also very communicative and timely. I trusted her to take excellent care of my little ones-- can't recommend highly enough.”
Hey Yall ! I’m Shola, and I’d love to help out with babysitting! As a college graduate with a background in acting, I bring plenty of creativity and fun to every moment I spend with kids. I’ve worked with children of all ages at both an IBM school and a Montessori school, giving me valuable experience in creating engaging and nurturing environments. I’m available for part-time sitting and date nights! You can check out the reviews on my page to see what others have said about my services. My goal is to make sure your kids feel safe, cared for, and entertained with exciting activities and games.If you’re looking for a reliable and fun sitter, I'm your gal!
“punctual, friendly, took wonderful care of our 8 month old. we will absolutely be calling her again next time we are in NYC”
Hi, I’m Kyundra! I’m 27 and have been working in and out of childcare since 2016. I’ve lived in NYC for the past five years and have loved every minute of getting to know families across the city. Since moving here, I’ve worked in several childcare settings including 4K classrooms with the DOE, after-school programs, and as a trusted babysitter for families with children of all ages. What I love most about working with kids is getting to know their unique personalities and finding ways to connect with each one. Whether it’s through creative play, helping with routines, or supporting learning and independence, I always strive to make children feel seen, supported, and safe. I’m also comfortable around pets (I have a sweet cat named Viola who keeps me company at home!) and I’m open to light household help. While I don’t have a personal car, I do have my license and am happy to travel by public transportation anywhere I’m needed. In my free time, you’ll usually find me hanging out with friends, watching movies, or spending time with Viola. I truly love what I do and would be so excited to get to know you and your family. Please feel free to message me with any questions, I’d love to connect!

"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!"
