I’m happy to help with childcare, school pick-up/drop-off, activities, errands, light tidying, meal prep, or whatever extra support your family may need.

Booked by 1 family in Whitestone, NY

I am a recent college graduate who loves working with children, spending time outdoors, and supporting families in my community! I have been nannying consistently throughout college and beyond, and I genuinely enjoy building relationships with children and helping create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them. I have experience caring for children of various ages, tutoring, and helping with homework. I am happy to provide academic support as needed, and I am almost fluent in Spanish! Special Needs Experience: I have extensive experience working with children with special needs and feel very confident supporting children with a variety of abilities and challenges. I have worked as an aquatic therapist and taught swim lessons to children with various disabilities. In high school, I also served as a social coach, helping students with homework, social skills, and job skills. During college, I volunteered with a program serving children experiencing homelessness through an after-school program, where I helped with homework, served dinner, and organized fun activities. Swimming & Safety: I have five years of lifeguarding experience, hold a CPR certification, and have taught swim lessons to children ranging from one to eighteen years old. I am passionate about water safety and feel comfortable working with children of different ages and skill levels. Pet Care: I have loved dogs my entire life and volunteered at a dog shelter for many years. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, including both timid and energetic dogs. I am also comfortable caring for cats and providing overnight pet sitting. Household Help & Cleaning: I am happy to help with household chores and cleaning as needed. I gained valuable cleaning and organizational experience while working in a women's locker room at a fitness club, where I was responsible for maintaining a clean and welcoming environment. I also worked at Starbucks, where I enjoyed customer support tasks such as cleaning tables, washing dishes, and restocking supplies. I am comfortable taking on a variety of household tasks when provided with the appropriate supplies and instructions. Overall, I am a caring, dependable, and adaptable person who loves helping families wherever I can. I would love the opportunity to support your family, whether that means caring for your children, helping with homework, assisting around the house, or looking after your pets!

Sierra $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sierra, and I am a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of The Arts Drama program (2024) with experience with caring for children from 1-10 years of age in the past. I’m now a professional actor and filmmaker on top of providing childcare. I have previously worked as a tour guide for my hometown's history museum which worked primarily with school groups. Thus, I have a lot of experience with large groups of elementary aged children. I have also performed children's theatre in the past. I am proud to be from a teaching family—with family members who work in the Department of Education in CA, public school teaching, and are professors at top universities around the world. Similarly, I have provided ACT and SAT English instruction in the past for high school students and scored a 34 in English and a 35 in Reading on the ACT. Including my theatre experience, I also speak Mandarin (intermediate). My hobbies include film photography, cooking (I was an apprentice at a two-star Michelin restaurant), hiking, exploring historical sites, and studying philosophy. I believe in the importance in helping nurture a child's empathy and their skills to later be a fully functioning adult. I believe that it is more important than ever for children to be able to express themselves and have someone to listen to them. I would be happy and honored to be someone who can help your child feel heard. I hope that in turn it would inspire them to be someone who reaches out to others as well.

Tracy $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Tracy , and I have my Associate’s degree in Liberal Arts. I’m offering child care and household services and plan to continue my education to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Education. I have three years of experience as a nanny and plenty of babysitting experience caring for children of different ages. My duties included school drop-offs and pick-ups, baths, meal prep, laundry, and fun outings to the park and other activities. Through caring for my younger siblings, I developed a strong passion for working with children. I especially love caring for babies and toddlers—it’s so rewarding to be part of their early growth and learning. I’ve worked as a Summer Youth Counselor and currently work as a Preschool Teacher Assistant. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and love planning creative activities like baking, drawing, and crafts. I’m caring, reliable, and dedicated to creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for every child.
