With over 15+ years of experience in child care, I bring a deep commitment to nurturing and educating children in both home and school environments. I hold a degree in Elementary Education from Saint Peter's University, along with an Early Childhood Teacher Certification from the state of New Jersey. My background includes extensive experience in classroom settings, as well as roles in back-up child care and private nannying. I’m passionate about supporting each child’s development through patience, creativity, and a warm, engaging approach. Whether in a structured learning environment or a more flexible home setting, I strive to create a safe, joyful space where children can thrive. In addition to child care, I also offer dependable pet care and home cleaning services. I'm comfortable with a variety of pets and take pride in providing gentle, reliable care tailored to their needs. When it comes to home cleaning, I focus on creating organized, tidy spaces so families can enjoy a clean and stress-free environment. I’m here to help make daily life a little easier—whether that means caring for your children, pets, or home—with professionalism and heart.
Hey! I’m Emily. I’m a creative an compassionate caregiver, available for once in a while or part-time day or night time babysitting! I also can help with pets (over 8 years of professional petcare experience), homework, pick ups and drop offs (valid driver's license), etc. I’m an actor and a yoga teacher, have experience with sick and elderly care, and I love to read and hang out and play outside!
“We had a last min need for a sitter for our 3yo while visiting NYC. Emily was the first to respond when we posted the job. She reached out that AM proactively to confirm, was responsive (took my call) and arrived on time. My wife met her and said she was very nice/professional. We'll be sure to reach out to Emily again next time we are in NYC.”
Hi- My name is Leslie and I’m currently a part time childcare provider and student at Hunter College. I have been caring for children since I was 12 years old and absolutely love it, I am easy going and energetic. Those early interactions with kids is what led me to my career path of studying Early Childhood Education and becoming a teacher. In past and present years my responsibilities have been everything from playing with kids, making meals/snacks, diaper changing, taking to various activities, reading to them, helping with homework, light tidying up, school pick ups and a host of other duties. I have worked with all ages ranging from newborns to pre teens and can also offer numerous references on site if that is something that would make any family feel more at ease. My experience with the elderly/seniors is associated with the care of both my grandparents. I have assisted with giving medications, helping in daily hygiene care, cleaning and making beds, cooking/food prep, taking to appointments and just generally being a friendly ear and companion to help brave the long hours in the day. I look forward to being of great help to any families that need it.
“Leslie is absolutely wonderful. She has watched our infant son since he was 4 mos old! With my son, Leslie is engaging, kind, energetic and was wonderful at soothing him for nap time. With us, Leslie is dependable, considerate, and an overall joy to be around. Leslie has not only bonded with Lucas but also our small doodle. If you are looking for someone to help out with your infant, Leslie is definitely the one! However, it’s clear she excels at bonding and engaging with children of all ages with her personality and vast educational experience! Thank you so much Leslie!! See you soon :) :)”
Hi, My name is Yulia! I moved to New York in 2020, shortly after graduating from the University of San Francisco with a B.A. in psychology and focus in child development. In high school, I began volunteering with a therapeutic horsemanship for children with cognitive, developmental, and learning disabilities. This is where I developed my passion for caring for children and studying human development. I have over fifteen years of experience, including babysitting for multiple families, nannying, completing my capstone practicum as a pre-school aid, and most recently working as a behavior technician for children on the Autism Spectrum. I currently work at a medical communications agency, and I have found myself with some extra time in the evenings and on the weekends. I find children to be very entertaining and energizing and genuinely enjoy getting to know each of their personalities! I especially love being a part of their learning journey and helping them navigate new challenges in school and in life! I look forward to meeting you and your kidos!
“Yulia was excellent! Right on time and very easy to work with”

"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!"
