About Basil

Experience: 3 yrs

Hi there! My name is Basil, I'm a 22-year-old babysitter. I attended Bard College and just moved to the city after living upstate! I am an artist and a home cook. I love working with elementary aged kids and older. I value providing a creative and supportive environment for kids to thrive in. I prioritize safety and communication above all else. I love planning and providing arts and crafts projects, collaborative storytelling, and baking. I keep things tidy around the house and am screen-free. I offer basic Mandarin tutoring. I am an excellent cook and can cook for your child's needs and preferences. I've worked in professional kitchens so I know how to be clean and fast. I'm experienced in meal prepping and baking as well. I love to introduce kids to age appropriate board games and card games. I'm open to both set routines and flexible schedules.

I’ve known Basil since the day she was born, and it’s been amazing to watch her grow into such a capable and caring person. When she looked after my son during his grade school years, she showed all the qualities you’d ever want in a fantastic nanny. She is incredibly responsible and trustworthy. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my son was in good hands. She’s attentive, dependable, and always puts my son’s safety and well-being first. Plus, her calm and patient vibe really helps children feel comfortable and supported. What truly sets Basil apart is how she connects with kids. She’s wonderfully creative and artistic, and she brought that energy into our home every single day. She spent hours doing arts and crafts with my son, encouraging his imagination. She also brought music into their routine, which was such a fun addition to their time together. You can tell she genuinely loves spending time with children. She doesn’t just supervise; she actively plays, reads, and helps them learn. My son always looked forward to seeing his “big sister.” Whether they were building things, reading stories, or working on a project, she was always fully present and engaged. I also really appreciated how helpful she was around the house. She’s completely comfortable in the kitchen and loves to cook and bake. She often whipped up delicious meals and treats for us—including a French apple tartine that we still talk about years after! I can't recommend Basil highly enough. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her. She brings warmth, imagination, and reliability to everything she does, and she quickly becomes someone both the kids and parents completely trust. If you're looking for someone who will truly enrich your children's daily lives with creativity, kindness, and genuine attention, Basil is an exceptional choice.
