Amina $15 per hour for 1 child

Hiii ✨ My name is Mina, and I’m a 21-year-old caregiver with several years of experience working with children of all ages. I’m a former preschool teacher and currently working toward becoming a Behavior Technician (RBT), where I’m learning new skills to support children’s growth, communication, and overall development. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment while also encouraging learning through everyday activities. Whether it’s helping with routines, engaging in play, or supporting emotional needs, I always aim to make children feel comfortable and cared for. As for my availability, I’m available in the mornings Monday through Friday, and I’m fully available all day on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide reliable, thoughtful care! —>> 🐾 Client & Safety Policy First-Time Walks: For large, shy, reactive, or nervous dogs, a meet-and-greet with the owner present is required before solo walks begin. Leash & Handling Policy: If a dog cannot be safely leashed or shows defensive behavior (growling, snapping, lunging, repeated close-proximity barking), I reserve the right to cancel the session for safety reasons. The full session rate will still apply, as the time slot and travel have been reserved. Health & Behavioral Disclosure: Clients must disclose if a dog is in heat, has a history of leash resistance, or has shown defensive behavior toward new handlers. Undisclosed conditions that prevent safe handling may result in cancellation with full charge. I am fully background-checked, patient, reliable, nurturing, and very accommodating to each family’s needs. I love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children can feel comfortable, supported, and happy. If you live a distance away and need urgent care, I kindly ask that transportation be covered via Lyft or Uber. I do have mild cat allergies, but I don’t mind being around pets — I may just be sneezing a bit! 😅 Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or would like to get to know me better. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and help care for your little ones!

I'm Camila, new to NYC and looking for babysitter opportunities! I'm a caring and experienced babysitter with a strong background working with children of all ages. I've been babysitting for years, including supporting a child with special needs, and I'm comfortable adapting to different needs and personalities. I've also worked as a Spanish teacher for kids, which I love incorporating into fun, engaging activities, and have experience in a daycare setting managing multiple children at once. I love working with children even in my professional career, where I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with child actors, producing, directing, and helping them train their performance. This has strengthened my ability to guide kids with patience, creativity, and structure. I can care for dogs/cats and light housekeeping and organizational tasks and errands. I'm patient, reliable, and truly enjoy creating a safe, positive environment where kids can learn and have fun.

Booked by 1 family in Hackensack, NJ

My name is Brian, and I have a lifelong love for animals—especially dogs. I’ve always believed that great caregiving comes from patience, empathy, and genuine passion for helping others, whether they walk on two legs or four. Experience with Animals: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to older companions who need a gentler touch. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walking routines, grooming, administering medication, and giving plenty of playtime and affection. I also have experience with cats, small animals, and even a few birds.

Jocelyn $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there - My name is Jocelyn and I graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Neurobiology & Behavior and currently work in Pharma Advertising. I was a caretaker for 2 elderly folks thru college and have really been caring for newborns, toddlers, and young kiddos since I was 15, and now looking forward to caring for your loved one(s)! I love staying active, so there’s no doubt I’ll have energy to keep up with energies of all ranges. I’ve cared for kids only a few months old to 11years old (I’m a great tutor/homework helper btw!) and have also cared for elderly folks, managing a range of medical conditions, including Parkinson’s, MS, and Dementia. I’m also rather flexible, if you need help driving the kids around, making meals, or any other general help, consider me your gal! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to lmk. Looking forward to caring for your loved ones!
