Fahmidah A.

Sitter / Nanny

Hi! I'm Fahmidah, a caring and committed 19-year-old with meaningful experience working with children. I come from a large family with six siblings and two young nephews, which has shaped my ability to connect with and care for kids of all ages. I previously worked as a group leader in after-school programs, supporting children ages 5 to 13. My role centered on making each child feel heard, valued, and safe while helping them learn, play, and build healthy relationships. I take pride in creating fun, structured environments where children can grow emotionally, socially, and academically. My approach blends joy with responsibility—ensuring that every activity is both engaging and grounded in respect and care. Although I stepped away from my group leader position due to the need for a more flexible schedule, I'm now looking for opportunities where I can continue making a positive difference in children's lives while balancing my availability.

Edward G.

Sitter / Nanny

Hi, I'm Eddie! I've been teaching private and group music and enrichment classes in homes and schools around NYC for over a decade. I was also a camp counselor and have extensive experience taking care of my 2 year old nephew (I am his favorite person). I take a child-led approach to care and enrichment. I meet children (and all humans) where they are, which allows me to provide guidance, structure, and fun in a way that empowers them and fosters confidence, and safe self expression. Honesty and transparency are important to me in my working relationships, and I believe patient, direct, and appropriate communication over difficult circumstances are key when mitigating big emotions. I've been a counselor at day-camps, sleep-away camps, and community centers, and I'm skilled at keeping children safe, engaged, and calm when necessary. Additionally, I've taught music lessons and recording technology to groups and private students with special needs across the spectrum, ADHD, Turrets Syndrome, mental health and other neurodivergence conditions. As a child, I was lucky enough to have had incredible caregivers enrich my life and inspire me. I incorporate this gratitude into my work supporting families and being a source of care and comfort for my clients. Looking forward to meeting you!

Abigail B.

Sitter / Nanny

Growing up I have always had a passion for working and helping children which is why I obtained a Bachelor's degree similar to that. Currently, I work as day care teacher teaching 2 year olds and I can honestly say that I love it despite it not being as easy all the time but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Being and teaching children brings me joy because not only are they adorable but because they are the next generation that'll prosper in making a change for other future kids to come as well. Additionally, being someone that they can cry to, smile with and be upset with is all part of why I enjoy what do all because I love being their companion and vice versa. Although, my experience with children may not be as lengthy, I adore and have a passion for children that and will treat them as if their my own, although, I don’t have any at the moment. Likewise, my end goal is to be a possible role model to and for them aside from their parents and make a difference in the child life.

Lisa R.

Sitter / Nanny

I'm CPR Certified and also a certified new born care specialist. To me working with infants is very interesting and a joy to watch them develop and move to different stages of their life beautifully. They need all the care and attention because it's also their most fragile stage in life as a little human being. I also enjoy helping new parents along that journey because of my experiences I've learnt that they too also needs help. I will always respect their wishes and may suggest ways or techniques to them on how to go about things such as feeding the baby, burping them. Changing their clothes or even carrying them, the simple things that some of them are sometimes a bit scared of letting them know it's ok to make mistakes and it's a learning process for everyone because every child is different. I love and enjoy the outdoors so once they're of age I suggest classes, find kids alike in age so they have playmates and start their creative process. I also do arts and crafts, takes trips to the zoo ,Library or museums anything that keeps their minds stimulated and occupied. I enjoy my times with all kids and my goal is to ensure that they are safe and happy at all time. I'm huge on communication so I will send pictures or videos and also text the parents and let them know of our whereabouts at all times. Note I have a 3.5-hour booking minimum per session.

Megan is creative, caring and has a gentle demeanor that young children adore. Since young, she had been the go-to babysitter for her cousins, eventually working with 6 other families, caring for children from newborn through 10 years of age. Her newborn experience comes from working as a mother's helper, assisting parents with feeding, diaper changing, and light house chores (tidying up and dishes). She has also babysat numerous toddlers through grade schoolers, doing school pick-ups, meal preparation and helping with homework. She loves to cook, and can help parents prepare family meals from scratch. She likes to play and read to her younger charges, and enjoys fun, creative and active projects (day trips, arts and crafts, cooking lessons, game nights, etc.) Never to let a dull moment pass, she once made up a game with her young charges called "steal the bacon" (it involves a football and math). Meagan is also a mother and part-time event planner, and she is working on completing her degree at Five Towns College in Long Island.
