A little bit about me

I was born and raised in Toronto, Canada, and I have been living in New York for about 3 years now! I'm a musical theatre graduate from The American Musical and Dramatic Academy, and I'm currently studying at Peridance. I'm a bit of theatre nerd, enjoy hiking, reading, knitting, playing board games, and working on puzzles.

I have experience with caring for kids ages 8 to 12. I am available for after-school pickup and homework help if needed. I am fully vaccinated, very active, and a non-smoker. I’m comfortable with any pets as well!

I'm open to meeting for coffee or setting up a call so you can get to know me a little better :)

About Me

Hi! My name is Chris, and I’m excited about the opportunity to work as a nanny. While I don’t have formal nanny experience yet, I bring a deep passion for working with children and creating engaging, creative environments for them to grow and thrive.

I have a background in Theater Arts, which means I love incorporating music, dance, storytelling, and imaginative play into everyday activities. I believe these kinds of experiences are not only fun but also help children build confidence and creativity. In my free time, I enjoy painting, singing, spending time at the beach, gardening, and going on walks—activities I’d love to share with the children I care for.

I'm reliable, warm, and enthusiastic, and I’m eager to create a safe and joyful environment where kids feel supported and inspired. I’m also a fast learner and always open to feedback, especially as I grow in this role.

Thank you for considering me—I’d love to bring my energy and creativity to your family

A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Clare!
I absolutely adore kids…truly I do! Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, cleaning up, taking them out, or tucking them in, I got it covered!

Next to caring for children, my passions lie in the arts. I received my associate's degree in Occupational Studies from The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York. I enjoy writing, singing, and basically any activity that allows me to have a creative outlet-one of the main reasons I've always loved being a nanny. I have worked with different families, in different countries, all who have different approaches in regards to their child's care; I am very adaptable and care deeply for the families I work with. I'm an all-in type of nanny, so whatever that means for you in regard to what you're seeking for support, I look forward to hearing from you and about your family :)

Warmest Regards,
Clare

A little bit about me

I became a caregiver because I always loved kids. I believe that every child can teach someone something. I love how they are opened minded, and I love the imagination they posses. I use to work for at a young age. Then when I got a little older I went to help out at a high school. After that I started in the food business but I have to say it's not for me. I miss helping my little ones with their homework and just asking them how was their day.

I currently work for the (DOE) Department Of Education. My job title is a paraprofessional. I've been working for the DOE for 5 years now.

A little bit about me

Hello everyone,

My name is Jojo, and I’m an actor/artist based in NYC.

I am currently seeking new job opportunities here in the city and am open to a variety of roles. I’ve worked in hospitals as a hearing technician for newborns, served and hosted in restaurants, performed in musicals across the country, and most recently, I was a regular on a television show for a few years. I pride myself on my adaptability and ability to thrive in different environments.

At the moment, I’m babysitting during the week for a lovely family, but the position doesn’t fully meet my financial needs, so I’m exploring additional work opportunities—including babysitting whether part-time or full time. I’m based in the upper west side.

I’d love to hear from you!

Thank you so much for your time and support.

Warmly,
Jojo
