Fitri $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi There! I’m Fitri! I’m a warm, reliable, and detail-oriented caregiver with 3+ years of experience caring for toddlers and children through teaching, babysitting, and children’s programs. I’m a mom myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your child and your home. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and enjoy creating a safe, positive environment where children can play, learn, and feel comfortable. I’m experienced with age-appropriate activities, reading, creative play, learning, mealtimes, routines, and helping children develop independence. I especially enjoy caring for toddlers and young children and keeping them engaged throughout the day. I’m also an excellent household helper. I’m highly organized and have a strong eye for detail. I genuinely enjoy cleaning and turning messy spaces into clean, tidy, and organized ones! I can help with children’s laundry, dishes, toy and playroom organization, light cleaning, tidying, groceries, errands, and other household tasks that make busy parents’ lives easier. I hold an MPA from Columbia University’s SIPA and am currently on sabbatical from my government position in Indonesia while living in New York. I speak Indonesian and English fluently and have basic Spanish. Whether you need a trusted date-night sitter, regular childcare, toddler care, or an extra pair of hands around the house, I’d be happy to support your family. I treat every home with care and every child with patience, respect, and genuine attention. Best, Fitri [removed]284 [removed] _____ P.S. I’m open to part-time opportunities during my career transition. You can find my background here:[removed]

Booked by 119 families in Whitestone, NY

Hello! My name is Shay and I am a warm, conscientious, communicative, and emotionally intelligent nanny with a Mary Poppins-esque touch and over 10 years of in-home care experience. I am passionate about child development and dedicated to nurturing kind, curious, and resilient young humans. I am from San Francisco, California, and have been living in New York City for the past 5 years pursuing acting. In that time, I've worked primarily with two families each with three children. I have experience with children experiencing major life transitions (just moving to NYC from another country with another language and learning english for the first time at 3 years old), children with gross motor, fine motor, and speech delays with multiple therapists and S.E.I.T.'s, children with ADD, and newborns joining the family. I am also an educator at Cocoon (Membership-based social clubs welcoming families to learn, play & grow together) and teach music, art, preschool prep, and dance for children ages 6 months to 36 months. It has been my true joy to have as many relationships with families and children as I do. I treasure the moments rolling around on the floor laughing with elementary schoolers, when a 16 month old walks over to me to give a hug for the first time when I come to the door, or when baby wakes up and we have a cuddle before discovering what the rest of the day has in store for us. My strength comes from remembering how my parents treated me with so much love and patience when I was a kid. I have a true interest and curiosity for child development. I have a love for Montessori and fostering independence in children. I bring joy, energy, and a breadth of knowledge from babysitting and nannying for over 10 years with hundreds of families. I am always available for phone or in person interviews. My calendar is almost always up to date. My resume and reference letters are available upon request. I look forward to meeting you and your family! Best, Shay

Booked by 126 families in Whitestone, NY

Hi! I'm Olivia. Thanks for visiting my profile. A little about me: I have 15 years of experience as both a full-time and part-time babysitter. Currently, I work as a full-time Lower School teacher at a private school in NYC, so I can babysit during weekday evenings and weekends. **Note: I live in both NJ and NYC, so I can work in either place.** A brief history: From 2012 to 2017 (before I left NYC temporarily for grad school), I babysat for 10-40 hours each week. From 2[removed], I worked as a substitute elementary/middle teacher while attending grad school. From 2020-2021, I was a full-time teacher at a private school in Florida, where I taught fourth grade reading, writing and science. In late 2021, I returned to NYC and to NYC/NJ babysitting! My experience ranges from newborns to 14-year-olds, with every age in between. I have an M.F.A. in fiction writing, and I especially enjoy sharing my love of books & reading. I also love simply chatting with kids, answering their (hilarious/profound/thought-provoking) questions, and playing their favorite off-screen game. I am skilled in social-emotional learning (SEL) and working with children with ASD (autism spectrum disorder), Levels I, II, and III; OCD; and ADHD. I am also skilled in helping kids cope with anxiety, anxious thinking, or anxiety-related behavior patterns. My hobbies include reading, spending time with my friends, and kayaking. I was born in Manhattan, and I grew up in North and South Florida. Some other helpful info: I am comfortable with pets and light housework/pet care. I’m comfortable babysitting sick children as long as you let me know in advance.
