Andria $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I have over 5 years of paid experience in babysitting. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Speech Therapy and am currently working on my Master’s degree. I’ve always loved working with children from a young age and would volunteer at daycares which is when my interest first began. Growing up in a big family, and becoming an aunt at an early age I’ve always been surrounded by young children and the love of working and caring with children only continued to grow. Which led me to pursue a career in speech therapy, where I could continue to foster and help children grow. I know sign language in addition to English, and could help with all homework types. I’ve worked with children with varying developmental needs, such as children on the spectrum, children with learning disabilities or those with speech delays. I am great with play time, crafts, and overall entertaining the children in things they might enjoy. I’m happy to answer any questions and see if I’m the right fit for your family!

Ava $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Ava, a Yale grad and former Division I swimmer with a passion for working with kids. I studied English at Yale with a concentration in Writing, and spent a year as a Teacher’s Aide at The Masters School in Dobbs Ferry, where I worked with students across multiple grade levels. I also spent 3 years as a swim instructor at Empire Swim School in Tarrytown, teaching kids of all ages and skill levels to swim, so I’m very comfortable working with children in all kinds of settings. Additionally I have years of experience nannying and babysitting kids of all ages. As a varsity athlete who trained 20+ hours a week, I bring a lot of energy, patience, and structure to everything I do. I’m reliable, responsible, and passionate about being the best role model possible for the kids I work with. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

priya $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m a registered nurse, aunt, and a proud dog mom! I began my healthcare career as a CNA in a nursing home while in nursing school, where I learned the importance of patience, compassion, and hands-on care. After becoming an RN, I worked with psychiatric patients and also completed training as a school nurse, giving me valuable experience caring for children and managing their health needs in a supportive & structured setting. Currently, I work at a medical spa, but nurturing others will always be close to my heart. Whether it’s soothing your baby to sleep, sparking imagination through stories, helping with homework, exploring the outdoors, or sharing laughter over something silly. I’m passionate about creating a safe, uplifting space where kids feel loved, confident, and free to grow. I’m also passionate about shaping the future generation and enjoy guiding kids through challenges with patience and empathy. I’d be honored to bring warmth, reliability, and genuine care into your home. 💕

Alli $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a marketing professional, actress, and lifelong creative who genuinely loves spending time with kids. I have a 3-year-old niece and 5-year-old nephew who are two of my favorite people, and I love being part of their adventures—whether that’s playing pretend, creating art projects, reading stories, or spending time outdoors. I’m energetic, imaginative, patient, and responsible, and I enjoy helping children feel safe, confident, and engaged. My background in creative fields has made me a natural storyteller and problem-solver, and I’m comfortable keeping up with active kids while also creating calm, structured routines when needed. Families describe me as warm, dependable, and easy to communicate with. Whether you need occasional date-night coverage, after-school help, or a reliable sitter for regular care, I’d love the opportunity to support your family.
