Booked by 8 families in Maspeth, 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’m a happy, loving, fun, and outgoing mom to a curious and energetic 3-year-old boy. I’m also an Early Childhood Education and Special Education major, as well as a paraprofessional with the NYC Department of Education, with hands-on experience working with children in both classroom and childcare settings. Throughout my college program, I complete approximately 120 hours of supervised fieldwork each semester, working with children of different ages in early childhood centers and classrooms. These experiences have helped me learn how to support children’s development while creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, engaged, and cared for. Caring for children has been a part of my life long before college. I grew up in a large family and began helping care for my younger brother when I was 10 years old. As a teenager, I also worked through Summer Youth Employment at his daycare. Throughout adulthood, I’ve continued caring for children in a variety of roles, schedules, and family situations. As both a mom and future early childhood special education teacher, I understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your child. I enjoy playing, talking, reading, exploring, and keeping children engaged while also respecting each family’s routines, expectations, and parenting preferences. I’m currently looking to connect with families who need occasional childcare, including date nights, appointments, events, school/work obligations, or an extra helping hand when needed. I’m always happy to discuss your family’s needs and see how I can help! A quick note: I have allergies to cats, dogs, dust, and certain foods, so I appreciate discussing pets and household considerations beforehand. I look forward to getting to know you and your little one(s)! :)

I'm Marina, and I'm based in Brooklyn. I currently work part-time as the Development and Partnerships Director for a nonprofit providing education and mental health support to women and girls in Afghanistan, and I have about 20-25 hours a week available for a family in need of extra help. I have 19+ years of experience working with children, from newborns through high school, across nannying, daycare, summer camp, tutoring, and classroom teaching. I've cared for children in one-on-one and group settings, for families in Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and internationally, including families with high-profile backgrounds. Depending on what your family needs, my time could look like after-school pickup and care, homework support, household logistics, scheduling, organizing, errand running, cooking dinner, pet care, or simply being a consistent and trustworthy presence in your children's lives. For tutoring, I specialize in English, writing, and critical thought for all ages, and cover math, science, and social studies through elementary school. I've taught students from preschool through 12th grade and tutored refugee youth in Brooklyn, often without shared language. My teaching style is rooted in observation and adaptability. I learn how each child thinks, what makes them feel safe, and where they need room to grow. My professional background is in educational and curriculum development. I performed on Broadway through my teens, then shifted into nonprofit work and volunteer teaching. I lived and taught at a school in India for close to two years, worked at a summer camp for refugee youth, and have held roles spanning operations, client experience, and learning and development. All of it has made me someone who pays close attention and builds trust with the people I work with. I emphasize technology-free, creative, and confidence-building play. I think carefully about who each child is and what they specifically need, and I bring that same intentionality to everything from an afternoon activity to a homework session. Of course, I still love a fun movie night! :) I've held certifications in Infant and Pediatric First Aid and CPR and am happy to be re-certified. I have a perfect driving record, I'm conversational in Spanish, and I'm an animal lover through and through. References available upon request. I work best with families that lead with compassion, open-mindedness, and joy. If that sounds like your household, I'd love to connect!

“Our baby liked her immediately. She listened to us and followed instructions well. She did a great job, will hire again.”

Hi! My name is Lily, I work and live full time in New York, and I went to Virginia Tech for school. I love being a babysitter and I’m trying to find opportunities to continue baby-sitting here. I have been baby-sitting since I was about 14 years old. I’ve sat kids 9-11, and my younger cousins who are 3, 7, 10, and 13. I am a kind, thoughtful and creative person who likes to craft, knit, read and play board games in my free time. I love kids and I am a patient, responsible, and caring individual. I can also work as a household assistant who cleans, runs errands, house sits or pet sits. I grew up with 3 cats and a dog and I just adore pets. I miss my chocolate lab back at my parent’s house. :)
