Emma $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Emma and I would love to be a caregiver to your wonderful kiddos! I’m a creative and imaginative personality with the inclination for caring for children. I grew up a dancer and pursuing that professionally now in the city, with the dream of being in the Ensemble of a Broadway show! I love that I can share this art and my profession with children, even teach them a few moves. I have 4+ years babysitting as well as dog sitting and I care dearly for the elderly. I’m open to several different scenarios including school pick up/drop off, after school tutoring, evening date night babysitting and so much more! I hope that I can be a part of the integral part of your children’s lives and make an impact in one way or another!
Aminata $25 per hour for 1 child
I’m a senior at NYU with a strong background in childcare and safety. I’m a certified lifeguard trained in CPR, First Aid, and emergency response, and I bring that same attentiveness and calm presence to caregiving. I’m responsible, patient, and engaging, with experience caring for children and pets. Families appreciate my reliability, clear communication, and punctuality.
Raquel $25 per hour for 1 child
I have always loved working with kids, which inspired me to study and graduate as a psychologist. With over 5 years of experience as an elementary teacher, I have developed strong skills in childcare, education, and creating a nurturing environment. I am passionate about fostering creativity, supporting emotional growth, and ensuring a safe, engaging experience for children of all ages. Additionally, I have a deep love for animals, which further reflects my caring and compassionate nature.

Hello! I am Caroline, a professional dancer and personal trainer in Manhattan. It is my 3rd year in Manhattan and I am looking to nanny occasionally. I have 10 years of experience working with kids in dancer studios and day cares and 1.5 years of nannying in NYC. I love being outside and playing board games. I love pets and helping with events!
Melissa $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I’m Melissa! I am a preschool teacher, and I have two nephews (ages 4 and 5) who keep me on my toes. I love museums, Chuck E. Cheese, or just hanging out doing crafts and reading stories. I’m easygoing and great with routines. I want kids to feel happy and at ease while we hang out.
