"Shurla has been with us since our daughter was five months old. It was nerve-wracking to let anyone else take care of her after doing it on our own during COVID, but Shurla knew exactly what she was doing. From tummy time to starting solids to sleep training to potty training, she was our guide and support system; Josephine sailed past her milestones thanks to her. My friends still call me to get Shurla's advice when they have issues with their own kids (or nannies!). As things opened up, Shurla helped us build a whole new network in our neighborhood. Whether she was connecting Jo to her first group of friends by hosting arts and crafts and music days, composing legendary goodie bags for all Jo's birthday parties, or getting to know the regulars at the playground, she's the reason that our COVID baby is comfortable with any and everyone. She's been a friend and a part of our family for the last three years and we're devastated to be moving away from her!"

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Ariana and I’m a nanny/sitter based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I have five years of experience working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. After growing up in an in-home daycare setting where I began working with children, I worked at a bilingual elementary school with pre-schools, before transitioning to becoming a private nanny to some wonderful families.

I enjoy playing outside, arts and crafts, reading and creative play. I’m calm-natured, not easily frazzled, gentle, responsive, child-led, and love helping children learn. I’m experienced and comfortable with attuning to infant cues, providing developmentally appropriate opportunities for play and learning, and establishing firm and loving boundaries.
I’m fully vaccinated and boosted for Covid-19. Please feel free to reach out if I sound like I may be a good fit for your family’s childcare needs. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones.

"If you’re reading this, your family just found the jackpot of all nannies. If you’re reading this, it means that Ariana is still available — and I promise you, she won’t be for long. She has been the nanny of my 2 and 4-year-old kids for the past 1.5 years and has been a tremendous help in keeping them entertained during the weekdays by planning fun, educational games and activities, preparing meals, and taking them on excursions around the city. She’s also always happily willing to help out around the house or run errands when we need her to. She never makes it seem like a chore. Her positive attitude is hard to come by! It’s hard to explain how much my kids love her and how sad we are that we are moving to the west coast. If you choose to hire Ariana, you can be confident that you're getting one of the best babysitters around. You don't have to worry about a babysitter who will just sit and watch TV, Ariana is very engaging with kids and a great addition to any family!"

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Mary, I've been nannying full part/full time since college. I've worked a variety of jobs with children of different ages, but most frequently the age groups of 9 months-4 years. My current job is working with a little girl on the autism spectrum, and she will soon be transitioning into a full day of school as opposed to being at home with a nanny, so I'm looking for something new. I love kids, I've always thought I'd have kids but at this stage in my life I'm less certain; getting to help raising babies and children is a real privilege. I'd love to be of assistance! Let me know if you think I'd be a good fit, and I can send along my resume with references.

A little bit about me

I love being a sitter because caring for others comes naturally to me, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. Spending time with children, helping them feel comfortable, and supporting their daily routines is something I find both meaningful and rewarding. I have hands-on experience babysitting for families in my community, where I’ve been responsible for things like playtime, meals, bedtime routines, and keeping kids entertained in a safe way. I’ve completed a basic safety training course, and I always take my responsibilities seriously. I’m reliable, patient, and able to adapt to each child’s unique needs, which helps me build trust with both kids and parents.
