Lavarn R.

Night Nanny

Hi Everyone, my name is Lavarn and I am so excited to meet you! Originally from Guyana, I moved to the United States in 1999 and have called Brooklyn my home since then. I have been taking care of babies for 14 years and officially achieved my Newborn Care Specialist certification and training in infant, toddler, and adult CPR and AED 3 years ago. I have worked for a number of families over the years and am most passionate about working with newborns. I absolutely love this stage as I truly believe I can really help both families (e.g. setting them up for success by helping them get into the right routines of the bat) as well as the newborns (e.g. using techniques to soothe them based on my experience of what has worked best with other babies). Over the years I have become very experienced with different types of needs - everything from colic, preemies, umbilical cord care, circumcision, lactation support, postpartum depression, c-section recovery, sleep training, and obviously the basics (bathing babies, changing diapers, tracking the baby's feeding, diaper changes and sleep patterns etc.). I am always happy to answer any questions and, when in doubt, do my research on anything pertaining to the baby. I look forward to connecting and would love to introduce you to my previous clients so that you can hear from them directly about their great experiences working with me. Thanks for your consideration.

Meg M.

Sitter / Nanny · Night Nanny

I have over 10 years of experience in childcare, having served a wide array of roles with children. I began my journey as a professional figure skating instructor in 2012 where I worked for over 7 years as both a group coach and private trainer. I also served as a mentor for aspiring skaters and an academic tutor for various ages. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science & Arts in Biochemistry and Russian with a Business Foundations Certificate in Spring 2017 from The University of Texas at Austin. I began my venture into nannying in 2015 and have several years of Family Assistant and House Management experience. I've always been passionate about serving as a positive role model and caretaker for children of all ages! I am professional, patient, dependable, and energetic. I possess strong interpersonal skills that help foster well-structured, positive work environment. I strongly believe that effective communication is vital to providing a working unit for both the family and caregiver, which I implement in all of my caretaking roles. While the majority of my experience in childcare has not been with infants, I do provide infant care when sitting for families on an as-needed basis and held a temporary position for a family with for a family with an infant. While with this family, the mother was experiencing postpartum depression and they were having trouble with sleep training the infant and establishing a consistent bedtime routine. I was a live-in nanny for about a month while helping sleep train the infant so that I was able to sleep next to the infant's room and provide any assistance needed throughout the night so that the mother could get some proper rest.

Sara M.

Sitter / Nanny

I have 4 years of experience in babysitting. What makes me a great sitter or nanny is my strong rapport with kids. I naturally connect with them, engaging in play and interaction. I prioritize hands-on activities like arts and crafts and playing while limiting screen time. My patience, caring nature, and attentiveness to a child's needs ensure a nurturing and positive environment.

Hi, I’m Shirley — a gentle night nurse who truly understands how important a good night’s sleep is for parents. With over 10 years of experience as a baby nurse, I’ve supported families through many different newborn situations, including preemies, colic, circumcision aftercare, and latching challenges. I’m also experienced with twin newborns, and I love helping parents feel confident with healthy routines, sleep training, and breastfeeding/nursing support. I’m knowledgeable, calm, and always professional, and I’m honored that many families invite me back again for their second and third baby. Availability: I’m typically available overnight from 8:30pm–7:00am, and I can also do 24-hour care and travel when needed. My hours can be flexible depending on your family’s schedule. I also offer sleep training support for both infants and toddlers. My hourly rate for toddler sleep training is $40/hour.
