Hello! My name is Micaela, I'm a 29 old year working in the arts, but am seeking more work in childcare. I’m a graduate from UC Berkeley where I studied English Literature and minored in Journalism. I'm very experienced with babysitting kids ranging from 1-10 years old, and have also worked with many toddlers while working as an assistant preschool teacher and was also a nanny to three kids ages 5-8 in Bed Stuy for two years. I currently reside in Ridgewood, Queens. Please let me know if you're interested and feel free to ask me any questions you might have. Hope to hear from you!
Hi! My name is Lois. I am nanny/babysitter with 10+ years of experience. I have worked with a wide range of families and age ranges from infants to pre-teens. This has equipped me with a quick mind and adaptability for any situation. I love to combine my love of theater and knowledge to create engaging activities for kids that allow them to not only learn but expand their sense of self expression . I have some prior experience working with kids with on the spectrum, and I am CPR and First Aid Certified. Excited to meet you!
“Our family was so lucky to find Lois! During a 6 month project Lois came in and provided my two children (6 and 9) with after school care. Lois is prompt, kind and efficient. She was flexible with my evolving schedule and able to accommodate us during the random days off during the school year. Lois is incredibly fun, energetic and full of fantastic imaginative ideas. Always ready to run in the sunshine with both kids at the park, she was equally adept at making a rainy day fun. She played with both my creative story loving younger child, and could effortlessly flip over to a fun competitive game of pokemon or chess with my older child. There was always music and laughter. They never wanted her to leave.”
Hi, my name is Melissa and I'm currently a student at Hunter College. I'm offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have experience with children of different ages, from toddlers to older kids. I enjoy keeping them engaged through fun activities like arts and crafts, reading, and outdoor play. I'm comfortable with following routines, and making sure kids are safe and happy. I love animals and have experience caring for dogs, I can walk, feed, play, and give them lots of attention. I can also help around the house with light cleaning, laundry, errands, and organization. I'm responsible, dependable, and easy to get along with, and I always try to create a positive and supportive environment wherever I work.
“Melissa was wonderful. My daughter (4) loved playing with her and keeps asking her to come back. Highly recommend!”
I’ve helped raise my younger brother with an 8-year age gap, giving me real-life childcare experience. I’m dependable, calm, organized, and great with routines, homework support, meal prep, and keeping households running smoothly.
Hi! My name is Sam, and I’m 22 years old. I’m currently a college student pursuing a career as a paramedic. I’ve been working as a nanny and babysitter for nearly four years, and I truly love caring for children. I enjoy doing crafts, baking, and going on little adventures that make learning fun and engaging. Creating a safe, positive, and happy environment for kids is very important to me. I’m also a big animal lover and have three pets of my own!
“Sam has worked with our family for several years and has been truly wonderful. She’s helped care for our two children since they were very young and our kids absolutely love her. She is always dependable and such a kind person. Our kids are always out on fun activities around the city with Sam, and they love spending time with her. Even as our kids have grown, she’s still an active part of our lives. We trust her completely and would highly recommend her to any family.”
