Hi! I’m Divya, a 26-year-old finance professional living in NYC. I’m available in the evenings and on weekends and I love spending time with kids and helping families out. I’ve been caring for children for many years-from keeping infants and little ones entertained with games and crafts to helping older kids with homework or getting them to activities on time. I’m happy to help with light housework, laundry, or meal prep, and I’m always up for a trip to the park or some fun, active play. Families tell me I’m energetic, caring, and easy to work with. I make it a priority to create a safe, happy, and engaging environment for kids, whether we’re cooking together, doing a puzzle, or winding down with a story. * I am CPR and First Aid certified

Booked by 1 family in Little Ferry, NJ

Hello! A New York resident of 3+ years, I have recently pivoted from working a full time administrative job at a finance firm to doing freelance producing work in the New York theatre scene. I have always loved working with kids and have full confidence in my ability to provide high quality, creative, fun, and safe care for children. I recently renewed my CPR certification (2025) and have cared for children from 15 months to preteens. Happy to do light housework and cooking as well. Please let me know if you have any questions, I'd be happy to chat!

Eliza was a delight. She had a great manner with my 16 month old and was easy to work with.

Hi all! I am Elizabeth Martel, a 23 year old female currently living on the Upper West Side! I am from Dallas, TX and I moved to NYC in May 2025 and have loved every second of it since! I’m a paralegal at a law firm where I spend my days, but in my evenings and on the weekends I love babysitting. When first moving to New York I really wanted to get into babysitting as it was something I enjoyed doing back home and was a good way to dive into my new city. Since then I have grown my babysitting connections and now have over 8 families I consistently babysit for all over the city. I mainly sit for infants/ and new borns, but also have experience with a wide range of ages from newborn - 11 years old. I am CPR certified, comfortable in high stress situations, and good at juggling multiple tasks. The children’s safety is always my top priority. I’m always available to have a meeting before as well!

Elizabeth was so wonderful with our infant! She arrived on time, she was so sweet with him, and we found he was super comfortable with her immediately. 10/10 recommend!
