A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Leo. I am an openly trans and queer affirming nanny.

I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2017 with a BA in Sociology. I also completed one year of graduate school, with a focus in social work. However, I left to pursue a career in filmmaking. Still, my background is primarily in community building & community care, and heavily influences my approach to childcare.

I have over 10 years of experience with newborns & infants. I also lived with friends who had children and I acted as an additional caregiver-- a very chosen family / community-focused approach. Care responsibilities included: tummy time activities, sleep training, contact naps, potty training, transporting to and from infant swim classes, and administering medication related to asthma (inhalers / chambers). I'm patient, creative, and organized. I love dogs and cats. I have built incredible stamina for listening to Rafi on repeat 🙂

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Brooklyn, NY: Lilyan T.

I’m Lily, 23, and originally from Godley, Texas! I love to read and write, run, and be outside in general! Working with children is important to me because I’ve seen firsthand how much trust families put into their childcare, and it makes me so happy to be the one they can truly count on. I have been a preschool teacher, assistant director, and currently a nanny now. Some of my favorite things are handprint crafts, sensory activities, and making kids laugh!

Shari M. - Seeking Work in Brooklyn

Babysitter Available in Brooklyn, NY: Shari M.

Hi I'm Maya, or Ash depending on the day. I'm genderfluid, I'm 15 and looking to be a babysitter! I love kids, unfortunately I have no babysitting experience. I am neurodivergent and despise the term special needs. I have a 12 year old autistic little brother Robbie. and I love him. I also have 2 little cousins Ellie and Layla (I love them too). You should pick me as a babysitter because I have a unique perspective on things. As I've mentioned before I do not like the term special needs, there's a reason for this. The reason being that its infantalizing to tell someone their needs are special. My needs and the needs of other people who are neurodivergent or neurotypical aren't special they're just needs. And should be treated with the same respect and dignity as any other person. This relates to me being a good babysitter because I see children as not just kids but human beings. This of course does not mean I see them as adults but rather as people who deserve kindness and respect.
