Jakai C.

Sitter / Nanny

I have experience with babies to teenagers. I’m very outgoing and charismatic so I’ve been told kids love me. From starting up games or just watching tv I’ll make babysitting the best experience for them. I was a math tutor and psychology tutor in college part time for extra credit and I was an intern and my main responsibility was to watch over kids engage them in sports and extra curricular activities. Also helped ages ranging from pre-K-12th grade with their homework.

Christine G.

Sitter / Nanny

Hi I'm Christine! I am a reliable, mature nanny with years of experience after having raised my own children and transitioning to childcare 3 years ago after a career in sales. I love kids and have been caring for newborns, infants and children for over 15 years helping them to explore the world around them and have worked as a live in/live out nanny for 2 families for the last two years as well as numerous babysitting jobs with a nanny agency in Summerlin, Nevada. I have recently relocated to New York City. Former families describe me as fun and attentive. I'm originally from Charleston, S.C. and have kept my kind southern charm. I lived in France for many years where I raised my son and learned to speak French. I traveled the world extensively through my previous career and have been exposed to people from many backgrounds so I'm comfortable with anyone from all walks of life I'm looking forward to helping parents with any childcare or babysitting needs.
