Hello! My name is Ava and I have quite a bit of nannying and babysitting experience! I am 22 years old and began seriously nannying when I was 17. However, the real babysitting started when my two little brothers were born and I gained newborn and early childhood experience through them. I have helped numerous families and absolutely love children. I am energetic and uplifting and love to adventure with the children or stick to a successful routine! I live in the East Village area but can commute if needed. I am experienced in all ages, and can do overnight as well!
“Ava has beautiful warm energy and a fun spirit that inspired my girls to begin hugging her almost immediately upon meeting and made me feel very comfortable with my choice of her as a sitter. She took them out to dinner and shopping in SoHo and checked in regularly and, most remarkably (given time change since we are traveling), had them asleep by the time we returned from dinner. 💖”
Hello , I bring a unique blend of patience, creativity, and professional childcare expertise. I have worked with children of all ages for over 8 years . I have held a sitter job for the last 5 years for children under the age of 3. I have worked substitute teacher in the NYC DOE and behavior technician, I founded Learning Ladder Innovations, a tutoring service that supports children with language development, academic enrichment, and confidence-building. I am CPR/First Aid certified and offer a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment that supports children’s emotional, social, and academic growth. I am also a mom myself , so I know the feeling of having someone safe and nurturing!!
Hi, I'm Bruna! I’ve worked with kids of all ages. I’ve been a summer camp counselor, subbed in schools (elementary, middle, even hs) and was a daycare/pre-school TA. I speak Portuguese and conversational Spanish if you’re interested in language exposure.
Hello! My name is Maggie, and I am a new resident of NYC, moving from DC! I am a professional dancer, arts administrator, and teaching artist who is passionate about using dance and movement to heal, empower, and connect individuals & communities. I have been working with children of all ages & abilities in an educational capacity for almost 10 years now, mainly through dance education, after school programs, and academic enrichment. I have been teaching dance to children in various spaces and capacities (dance studio, community centers, elementary and middle schools, theaters, etc.) since I was 16 years old. In DC, I worked as an Aftercare Lead Artist, creating and facilitating academic and arts enrichment curriculum for children K-3. Additionally, I worked as a Lead Artist for Dance Exchange, teaching creative dance to intergenerational groups of people, including youths and their parents, grandparents, etc. I have plenty of experience working with older adults through creative aging programs. I am a certified Behavior Health Technician and have worked with children on the Autism spectrum, teaching academic and life skills, as well as creating engaging experiences for them to connect and express through dance! I have worked for years as a Lifeguard & Swim Instructor, so I have lots of experience when it comes to the safety and well-being of children of all ages. Finally, I have worked various jobs specifically in childcare and babysitting, mainly for family, friends, colleagues, and individuals in the dance community. I absolutely adore and respect children and consider myself an engaging, active, fun, personable, empathetic, calm, kind, and joyous person and caregiver. I very much believe in following the lead of the child - their interests, their passions, their curiosities. Child-led play and experiential learning show up in how I work with children in any and all capacities, including caregiving. We can read, work on homework, do arts and crafts, sing and dance, play outside, whatever the child would like to do and however I can help them grow, big or small! I am completely up-to-date on all vaccinations, including COVID-19 (boosters included). I am a native English speaker and can speak basic conversational Spanish. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions, and I look forward to hearing from you soon and meeting you and your wonderful kiddos!
Experienced and enthusiastic babysitter based in New York with a strong background working with children in different settings. I’ve been a cheerleading coach, worked in sports programs for kids, and I’ve also been a children’s party entertainer, leading group games, fun activities, dance moments, and making balloon figures that always make kids smile. I’m a patient, warm, and caring person who truly enjoys making children feel happy, safe, and understood. I love creating activities that include dancing, arts and crafts, creative play, and little learning moments. I’m also happy to help with homework and keep routines calm and organized. I easily adapt to each family’s rules, and I always communicate with kindness and respect. I’m comfortable caring for children ages 4+, and I’m bilingual in English and Spanish. I’m available for occasional babysitting, date nights, last-minute help, and afternoon or evening shifts. I am very aware that childhood is the most important stage of a person’s life, and I am happy to contribute positively to it. I would love to support your family and your children’s growth with care, respect, and joy.

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."

"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!"
