Hayley posts “day-in-the-life as an NYC nanny” videos several times a week, where she shows her daily routine of picking up Zuri, the child she nannies, from school, spending the afternoon with her and getting her ready for bed. In addition to running errands together and making sure Zuri gets to her appointments on time, Hayley goes out of her way to incorporate Zuri’s favorite activities into the day and make Zuri feel special. Their adorable friendship is clear even through the screen, but be warned: watching these vlogs might make you jealous of Hayley and Zuri’s fabulous life in New York City (I mean, do you see that ice cream cone?).

This creator is both an actor and a babysitter, which is the perfect recipe for hilarious babysitting videos. You can find all of her babysitting videos in her playlist called “Babysitting.” She does impressions of what she calls the typical “laidback and loving Brooklyn family,” poking fun at some of the past experiences she’s had as a babysitter. Her “cool dad” impression obviously doesn’t represent all dads, but many babysitters have come across a dad or two like this in their time.
