Caring for and supporting children throughout their development is something I truly enjoy. I have five years of experience working with children from newborns to 11 years old, always bringing patience, creativity, and a positive attitude to every moment we share. I have a university education and feel comfortable caring for up to two children at a time. I enjoy keeping parents informed with daily reports on their children's activities and progress. I also know how to enforce household rules with a firm yet loving and respectful approach. I enjoy playing outdoors, sharing board games, and educational activities. Additionally, as a Spanish speaker, I can introduce children to a new language in a natural and fun way, broadening their cultural and communication horizons. I am excited for the opportunity to contribute my experience, dedication, and joy to caring for your family.
Hi! My name is Sofia, and I recently graduated from Syracuse University with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition Science and Biology. I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Human Nutrition at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, with plans to attend medical school in the next two years. I have a strong passion for women’s health and preventative medicine, and I truly enjoy caring for and supporting others. Beyond academics, I’ve grown up in a large family surrounded by children, which made babysitting second nature to me. I have years of babysitting experience throughout high school and college, and nothing brings me more joy than spending time with kids and supporting them through their most important developmental years. I am CPR certified, trained in emergency healthcare, and fluent in Spanish as a dual citizen of Spain. In my free time, I love dancing, taking long walks, spending time outdoors, traveling, and exploring new restaurants and coffee shops. I look forward to bringing energy, responsibility, and warmth to the families I work with!

I am a second-year student at the Fashion Institute of Technology, offering dedicated childcare, pet sitting, and household management services. My background comes from years of hands-on experience caring for local families, looking after young children, and managing pet-friendly homes with cats and dogs. I hold a formal babysitting certification and excel at establishing trust, safety, and joy with kids. As a caregiver, I combine a patient, energetic personality with strong organizational skills. I act as an encouraging role model, an attentive companion to pets, and a reliable manager for busy households. My services cover structured daily routines for kids, alongside dedicated feeding, walking, and care for domestic animals. Additionally, I excel at household assistance, keeping living spaces spotlessly clean, organized, and clutter-free. My blend of warmth, responsibility, and detail-oriented efficiency makes me a well-rounded, dependable helper for any family.
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!
