Hi my name is Savannah and I’m currently attending Medgar Evers College to continue my studies in psychology. I've been working with kids for over 5 years and I truly enjoy babysitting kids of all ages! Over the last few years I've also have been on sittercity and helping my dad with my six young siblings , teaching them and taking care of them and it has been awesome. We go to the park, read, play, take walks and I love to cook. I love being with the kids because they make me extremely happy and I can teach them new positive things while also learning from them. Im looking forward to meeting you and your family!

Hello, parents! My name is Sara. I am a nanny and early childhood educator with 20 years of experience in childcare, the past 16 years working as a full-time nanny for private families in NYC. I have worked with ages 2 months through 15 years and have significant experience caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and multiples including twins. I recently finished a 10-year long full-time, full charge nanny position with a wonderful family on the UWS. I’m currently available for occasional babysitting, backup care, and part-time nanny care. I’m located near Prospect Park in Brooklyn and able to travel anywhere in Brooklyn, Manhattan, or Queens. Prior to becoming a career nanny, I studied music therapy at Berklee College of Music with an emphasis on early childhood development and child psychology. While working towards my degree, I taught in the two year old and three year old programs in a local preschool, and served as the music director at a Boston Gymboree. I am a huge believer in child-led play, respectful discipline, and nurturing children’s curiosity and imagination. If you have any questions, please feel free to message!

“Sara made us feel instantly comfortable leaving our baby daughter with a sitter for the first time. She was demonstrably experienced in how to handle a baby wary of strangers and could easily adapt to our family’s routine. She was easy to communicate with and we would be immediately ready to hire her again in the future.”

I'm a master's graduate with more than 15 years of childcare experience (including my extensive time caring for my teenage brother and sister since they were infants!). Originally from Phoenix, I've also lived and babysat in Los Angeles, and would love to share my experience with your family here in New York! I'm also happy to assist with household chores, cooking, animal care, and other services along with babysitting.
