A little bit about me
Hi there! I’m Julie and I would love to help you out with your busy life , while also making sure your kids get the support they deserve! Ive always loved working with children and getting to know they’re unique personalities that are starting to form at this critical age. I have been a caretaker for a 9 year old who had special needs. I’ve also done babysitting for a variety of families since I was 15 . One of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever done was being a leader in a group called “Applause” which was a theatre group filled with children with special needs. This past winter I also helped as a co director for a children’s production of Aladdin. Your kids deserve fun, kindness and care and you deserve respect, open communication , and support. I’d love to be an addition to your family !

Hello! My name is Sarah and I am a graduate student at Yale University. (I am graduating mid-May of this year).
My work experience includes childcare, nannying, and tutoring. I have cared for children of a variety of ages including those with special needs. I love kids and I truly appreciate the privilege of watching your children!
Furthermore, I have a passion for learning, especially theology and philosophy. In my free time I love to sing (I am a classical singer), run, watch movies/tv, and spend time with my friends and family. Cooking and drawing are two other hobbies of mine, so I enjoy cooking for the kids I care for as well as helping them with a new arts and crafts project!
I have a driver's licence, a clean driving record, and I am a non-smoker.

Recent reference
"She babysat for me for 3 years. When I first hired her my first child was only 2 years old. At first I was very awry in hiring her because she was only 15. Hiring her was one of the best decisions I made for me child. She was very respectful and experienced for such a young age. When I had my second child, I started taking both my children to the daycare in which Eleana worked in. Every child there seemed to love her. She is definitely an amazing young lady who has such a great way with children, it was sad for us as a family to let her go but once we move back to New York she will definitely be babysitting for me again!"

A little bit about me
I’ve always been a kid magnet. I can’t tell you how often children of all ages are drawn to me with smiles on their faces, trying to get on my lap. Personally, travel is one of my great passions, but I also enjoy reading, writing short stories, swimming, baseball, live theater and music, and keeping in touch with my friends and family, both near and far. I do not watch TV, so I find no need to have the children I care for watch either. Instead, I love to sing, listen to music, read books, go for walks, and do age/stage appropriate imaginative play with the kids, as well as constantly speaking in English and counting in various languages to aid in language development. I also enjoy cooking, making homemade purees for first foods on up to finger foods and hiding veggies to keep picky toddlers eating healthfully. I love being a career nanny almost as much as I have loved each of the children I have worked with over the years.

A little bit about me
Hello families! My name is Caroline, and I bring both professional training and hands-on experience in childcare. I have a Newborn Care Specialist certification and over two years of experience as an Au Pair, caring for children from newborns to toddlers.
I am a patient, warm, and loving caregiver who truly values not only the physical but also the emotional and mental development of children. My approach goes beyond daily routines-I focus on creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe, understood, and encouraged to grow into thoughtful, curious individuals.
I also enjoy studying child psychology and psychoanalysis, which helps me better understand each child's unique needs and support their development with empathy and respect.
Families often describe me as reliable, attentive, and caring. I would be honored to bring that same energy into your home and support your little one's growth with love and care.
