A little bit about me

Hello! I’m Cat - I’m a fun, engaging, and screen-free nanny with 15+ years of experience—including babysitting, dance teaching, and summer camp counselor-ing (lol!) at an all girl’s sleep away camp (Camp Seafarer)! I studied Education and I’m currently a preschool dance teacher and nanny to two precious little girls (5 and 2). I have experience with ALL ages (infants to 8th graders!) and I’m CPR, AED, and Lifeguard certified.

I love to keep kids engaged through movement, creativity, and imaginative play—think silly skits, swimming, dancing around the living room, and nature adventures instead of tv time. I'm very passionate about reading and starting a love of learning at a young age. I'm also happy to help with meal prep, light housework (dishes, laundry, etc.), I have experience administering medication (ONLY when advised by mom/dad of course), and I’m very comfortable with pets. I'm based on the Upper West Side and would love a family that values play, learning, kindness, and fun!

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love anything creative and active—dancing, singing, putting on little skits, and playing pretend are my favorites! I also enjoy reading books together, doing crafts, and spending time outside at the park or going on little nature "adventures." I always aim to make screen-free time fun and full of creativity, whether we’re making up silly games or having a dance party in the living room!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel happy and excited to learn through play! Every child deserves someone who is dependable, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about their growth and imagination. To me, that means getting on their level, being silly with them, staying AWAY from screens/tv, and making each day feel special—whether we're singing, dancing, exploring outside, or just reading at home :)

Emani D. - Seeking Work in New York

Babysitter Available in New York, NY: Emani D.

Hello! I’m Emani, I’m 25, and I’ve been caring for others my whole life, babysitting neighbors and family kids since I was just 8 years old, that care followed me into my adult years, where I worked as a CNA, and now a Home health aide. So when I say I am no stranger to taking care of alll kinds of people (big and small) lol, I mean it! In my spare time I love to listen to music, watch movies, find unique fun places to eat, and learn and research new things. I am very patient, honest, resilient and empathetic and most of all I was a kid not too long ago lol so I understand how to keep children engaged and entertained and when to help them wind down when it’s time, I understand that their minds are constantly going and retaining new information so these things are very important. If your looking for a caregiver that actually CARES look no further!
