A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Phylicia!
I’m a dedicated and experienced Nanny with over 2 years of caring for children of all ages — from newborns and infants to toddlers, preschoolers, school-aged kids, and teens. I’ve worked with families of all sizes and dynamics, including caring for newborns and 9-month-old twins, so I’m comfortable juggling multiple little ones at once!

I hold a Bachelor’s degree and bring a reliable, nurturing, and engaging presence into every home. I’m available to start immediately and excited to find a family I can support and grow with long-term.

Looking forward to connecting!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Nia and I’m 25 years old. I’m a University of San Francisco graduate who has years of experience working with kids.

I worked at Kumon Learning Center for 2 years, an after school program called America Reads, and I’ve been a babysitter / nanny for about 7 years now. I’m great at play time AND homework time and love kids so much!

I have 35+ reviews on my UrbanSitter account that are all 5 stars. I’m new to this site but if you reach out we can find a way to get access to those along with other references. Thank you!

A little bit about me

As an NYU archaeology graduate student and educator-in-training, I am passionate about creating age-appropriate activities that nurture children's love of adventure, science, history, and even foreign languages. I have professional experience working with children of all ages and nanny experience with school-aged children.

I am available to start on ~July 15. My availability is flexible, but I will need to work around my class schedule (Monday/Tuesday mornings and Thursday afternoons). Ideally, I would like to work in or near the West Village.

I am happy to send a copy of my Covid vaccine card and childcare resume.

A little bit about me

I am a woman of many values, but my strongest are family, compassion, honesty, trust, humor, service, curiosity, time, optimism, beauty, creativity, authenticity, peace, and growth.
When I do something, I do it fully and completely. I always do my best.
I am incredibly mindful of the words that I speak. I know that my words have the ability to transform the way children feel about themselves, others, and the world. I will always use my power and words in the direction of love.
Especially when confronting destructive outbursts, I create space that encourages them to be entirely honest and recognize what they could have done better for next time - without them labeling themselves as a "bad kid."
I'm an exceedingly easygoing, go-with-the-flow, spontaneous person. I keep my personal space neat, and I am always happy to go the extra mile to do the same with your home because I know how much of a difference a clean space can make in our state of mind.
