Anisha Z.

Sitter / Nanny

I am an incoming graduate student at New York University, where I will be obtaining a Master’s in Social Work. Prior to this new chapter in my life, I attended Virginia Commonwealth University where I received a B.S. in Health, Physical Education, and Exercise Science. For some parts of my undergraduate years, I would babysit after classes and here and there on the weekends for extended family members, friends, and more. My last two years of undergraduate, I started tutoring not only at the university level but also elementary to high school level as well. Once I graduated from VCU, I started working at a behavioral health clinic, where I learned the importance of expressive/exploration groups. I believe through simple expressive activities such as art, dance, or even music can truly benefit a child’s growth and development. It teaches them to be creative and think outside the box. As someone who used to take Southeast Asian dance classes every weekend from elementary school to high school, I credit a lot of who I am today to dancing. While babysitting, I enjoy doing arts and craft projects, reading books together, singing and dancing. I speak conversational Bengali, as well. I have worked with children with mild autism. I am available on the weekends, and only for Thursday mornings.

Carol S.

Sitter / Nanny

Carol has been taking care of kids since she was a kid herself in Connecticut. She loves to nurture, protect, teach and create. She brings joy, laughter, and fun, and often becomes good friends with the children. Children are very important to Carol. Her many films for PBS have always contained a strong educational component, and one of her most rewarding projects was working at Bank St. College for five years on an award-winning science and math series for 4th-6th graders. Most of Carol's babysitting experience is with grade-schoolers, providing help with pick-ups, homework, and meal prep. She creates safe and happy spaces for children. She is responsible, smart, energetic, honest, kind and fun. Carol graduated with a B.A. from Sarah Lawrence College.

Jeanine D.

Sitter / Nanny

Hi, my name is Jeanine Darby & it is a pleasure to tell you a little bit about myself. I am only 21 years old but i have years of experience with working with newborns & kids as old as 15. I’ve also had some experience with mentoring & tutoring my peers throughout college. My experience with all age groups would definitely tell you that i could excel wherever you need me & that I’m also extremely patient. I enjoy helping others & learning new things that the kids may be interested in. Some of my favorite activities to do with children are arts & crafts, bake, sing, dance, take walks, & assist them with homework. Fun fact about myself, I absolutely love math. In my first year of college I was the only person to score nothing but 90’s & higher on my Calculus assignments. I absolutely love helping children find the same interest I have with math. With infants, i have experience changing diapers, preparing formula/bottles, bathing, rocking them to sleep, & also just having fun with them. I find it most exciting to read & sing to babies. I’ll do anything just to brighten a child’s day.

Samantha S.

Sitter / Nanny

I have over 10 years of experience babysitting kids from infants up to adolescents. I was a lifeguard in high school and was the go-to swim coach and babysitter for families in my neighborhood. In addition to coaching, I organized field trips, playdates and led sports and activities - I was essentially a private camp counselor every summer! I have also tutored all subjects in the elementary levels and history up to university level. I have a degrees in museum arts and modern history, so I am pretty fun in museums! I like to spark children's curiosity in the world around them and then help them explore ways to find answers to their questions. I speak conversational French. For bookings outside of NYC, additional fees for tolls may apply.

Ana Sofia H.

Sitter / Nanny

I am a student at Barnard college of Columbia University in Morningside Heights, Manhattan. I grew up in Chelsea and the Upper West side of Manhattan! I am undecided for major but thinking about the realm of Human rights, public policy and art history. I have had experience with being a mother's helper since I was around 10 years old, and began getting real babysitting jobs when I was 14. I mostly took care of neighbors' kids, from ages 2 to 8. I absolutely love getting to know kids of all ages, and supporting their energy with playing outside, art, games, and other activities! I enjoy helping kids with their homework as well. As for light housework, I often help family members with house organization, dorm mates, etc. I have always been one to keep my space clean/organized and like doing the same for others.
