Booked by 8 families in Jackson Heights, NY

Hi, I’m Lucia! Brooklyn has been my home for over a decade, though I’m originally from California. As the eldest of three and the first grandchild among 30 cousins, I’ve been caring for children of all ages for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of looking after wonderful kids, ages 1.5–16, and many families have told me I became their child’s favorite sitter—the highest compliment I could hope for! I love getting to know each child’s unique personality and tailoring activities to what excites them most—whether that’s baking cookies, arts & crafts, reading stories, or spending time outdoors. My focus is always to keep little ones safe, happy, and engaged. Families describe me as punctual, kind, patient, fun, and fully present. Please feel free to check my references—they’re filled with kind words from families I’ve had the privilege to work with. I would be honored to care for your child and create a nurturing, playful space where they can thrive. I look forward to connecting! Warmly, Lucia

Lucia was awesome! Super sweet and punctual. We will hire her again!

Hello! Thanks for visiting my profile. I am new to the NYC area and at this time am only available for occasional weekends or weekday evenings. I have caregiving experience with ages 1-7 as well as many years of teaching & sports coaching experience with elementary and middle school aged students. When guiding children, I am genuine, kind, and patient. I study Montessori methods and my style is gentle yet firm. I enjoy being around kids of all ages as well as dogs and cats, and am comfortable caring for pets. I also enjoy tidying and organizing.

Hi! I just moved to NYC from California. My name is Haley and I am a 26 years old with bachelor degree in psychology and a minor in Education from UCSC. I have over 9 years of babysitting experience with kids of all ages. I also have a elementary school teaching credential. I have worked at summer camps and after school programs as well.

Haley has such a nice demeanor and I felt very at ease when she was with my 2 and 4 year old for the evening. Would definitely recommend.

Booked by 5 families in Jackson Heights, NY

Hi! I’m Tanha, and have been babysitting for most of my life. I grew up as one of the oldest, with tons of littles around at any given time, I still have little cousins under 5 years old to watch. I also have little nephews that I absolutely adore. Holding a college degree, I'm experienced in caring for children aged 0-11, and comfortable with up to three children at a time. I'm patient, creative, and always approachable. I enjoy engaging children with board games, puzzles, and educational activities, and reading together. I prioritize open communication with you, using your preferred method to discuss your child's day. I'm also comfortable following your household rules. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a safe and enriching environment where your children can thrive, and I look forward to the possibility of becoming a part of your family's support system. I love cats and dogs and am comfortable being around them, I have 2 of my own sweet kitties. I am also very clean and tend to tidy up when I have downtime

Tanha was a great fit for us! She and my daughter hit it off instantly. She was pleasant and attentive to my daughter and helped her with her bedtime routine. They bonded over their love of animals. Would def book her for childcare help again.
