Hi everyone! My name is Ella and I am a 22 year old college student in NYC. I am looking for a part-time babysitting/nannying job. I have 4 years of childcare experience and love kids!

Hi, I’m Mary Ellen (M.E. for short). I’m a warm, compassionate, attentive caretaker and graduate student. I’m looking for part-time to full-time opportunities while I complete my degree. I have experience with infants, toddlers, pre-teens, special needs adults, and pets. I currently provide community habilitation services to young women with autism and intellectual disabilities, including remote job coaching, mentorship, and executive functioning support. With years of reporting, interviewing, and managing complex workflows as a journalist, I bring strong communication, patience, and problem-solving skills to caregiving. My background has trained me to stay calm under pressure, listen closely, and respond thoughtfully when supporting my clients. I’m organized, dependable, and skilled at creating structure while encouraging independence and creativity. My experience collaborating with diverse communities has strengthened my ability to connect with individuals from different backgrounds and build trust quickly. Above all, I’m empathetic and committed to fostering a safe, positive environment where each individual feels heard, supported, and engaged.
Media Professional Turned Early Childhood Educator | Thoughtful, Creative, and Engaging Caregiver Hi! I’m Hana—a media professional turned early childhood educator with over five years of childcare experience, from preschools to private families and social services. I’ve always been passionate about uplifting children, creating meaningful learning moments, and fostering a sense of curiosity and confidence in every child I work with. After several years at HBO, I decided to shift gears and step into the classroom. My goal? To gain firsthand experience in child development, bringing what I learn into the future of educational media and technology for good. But at my core, I simply love spending time with kids—encouraging their creativity, answering their big questions, and supporting their unique ways of learning and growing. As a sitter, I bring warmth, patience, and a deep respect for child and family.
Hi, my name is Adriana and I am an elementary school teacher on the Upper East Side. I just finished my 6th year of teaching and I have experience teaching 3rd-5th grade. My experience with working with children ages 4-14 dates back to when I was in high school when I taught dance classes at my dance studio. I also worked as a camp counselor at a 7 week sleep away camp in Maine for three summers during college. I love babysitting and tutoring kids between the ages of 4 and 14.
Hi there, my name is Caitlin! I'm 24 and have been living in the city for the past two years, but am originally from Wisconsin. I went to university for Entertainment and Marketing, and now I work in Film and Television PR during the day, however I am looking to pick up more babysitting gigs as I just love being around kids! Growing up with three younger siblings and 14 younger cousins, I've always been surrounded by kids, so now that I live away from family, I'm missing that burst of joy. I've been a certified babysitting for 12 years (CPR certified, and Red Cross babysitting certified), and worked as a summer nanny for three summers during college. As far as age experience, I'm very comfortable with kiddos of all ages, from infants to teenagers, I love it all! Hanging out and playing with the kids I watch is always a joy, however their safety is always my number one priority! I'm so excited to meet you and am grateful you took the time to read my bio :)

"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!"
