Hi! My name is Laura, I’m 30 years old and recently settled here for a year with my husband. I come from a big family, so I’ve always been surrounded by children and naturally developed a love for caring for them. Over the years, I’ve worked several times as both a nanny and an au pair in Spain and in Canada, gaining valuable experience with children of different ages and family routines.
I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and parents feel at ease. My background has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to balance playtime with structure. I’m also adaptable to each family’s needs and happy to help with daily routines, homework, or simply keeping little ones entertained.
I’d love the opportunity to support your family while I’m here and make your children’s days a little brighter.

Heyy Parents, my name is Khadijatou Baragi and I am 20 years old. I started my babysitting journey in 2021, caring for kids of all ages both in the Bronx and in The Gambia. Over the years, I’ve loved creating a safe, fun, and supportive space where children can learn and grow. From helping with homework and planning creative activities to making meals and keeping up with daily routines, I enjoy being there to make life a little easier for families. This experience has taught me so much about patience, communication, and the joy of seeing kids thrive.
Hi, I am Caroline Offutt, a student at the Spence school.

In the academic realm, my commitment to continuous learning and problem-solving enables me to adapt to various subjects and explain complex concepts in simple terms, making me an ideal tutor for students of all ages. These combined interests not only make me a well-rounded individual but also equip me with the patience, energy, and adaptability necessary to excel in caring for both children and pets, ensuring engaging and enriching experiences for those under my care.
