“Amazing job”
Hi! I’m a college student in my junior year The New School in NYC studying Culture and Media Studies with a minor in Fashion Communications at Parsons. I’m responsible, friendly, patient, and dependable, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I’m comfortable helping with things like playtime, homework, meals and snacks, bedtime routines, and keeping kids entertained and engaged. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks, errands, pet care, and general tidying when needed. I’m organized, attentive, and easygoing, while still being responsible and able to follow a family’s routines and instructions. I have a busy school and internship schedule during the week, so I’m especially interested in part-time, occasional, date-night, Friday, and weekend opportunities that I can build a consistent relationship with a family through. I’d love to connect with families looking for someone reliable, caring, and flexible to help make their lives a little easier!
“Artemis did a great job watching my 5 and 4 year old. She communicated well, showed up early and quickly built rapport with the kids. Look forward to working with her again ”

Hi families! My name is Gio, but kids call me Gigi. I have over three years of childcare experience. Recently, I worked with a family in the East Village, caring for two 12-year-old and two 10-year-old girls. I helped with school pick-ups, after-school activities, playdates, homework support, meal preparation, and even stayed late sometimes. I also helped with laundry, errands, and maintaining routines to keep the household running smoothly. Before that, I worked as an au pair in both Connecticut and Italy, caring for young children (around 2 years old) and supporting families with daily routines, outdoor activities, meals, and age-appropriate play. I’m reliable, organized, patient, and enjoy building strong relationships with both children and parents. I believe in creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment while also helping families feel supported. I’m currently a student in New York City and have a flexible schedule. I’m available for after-school care most weekdays, but I can also accommodate longer daytime schedules on certain days each week. I’d be happy to discuss availability and find a schedule that works well for your family.
“Gigi has been an extraordinary babysitter, very reliable, very flexible, very nice and easy to deal with.”
Currently a media professional, I’ve always loved caring for others. I grew up with the mindset that if you take care of your community, your community will take care of you. I worked at my family’s daycare center for 5 years while in high school and some throughout college. While in college a volunteered at an underserved after school program, where I established a library and secured grants to expand the program. Working with families and children, while helping them flourish has always been a passion.
“My dog is really shy and anxious, but bonded really well with Olivia. She sent photos and videos throughout to show me he was having the best time!”

"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."

"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!"
