Josephine $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Josephine. I'm originally from Portland, Oregon, but recently graduated from Boston College in May, and moved to New York City in June! I've been babysitting since middle school and have the most experience caring for toddlers and school-age children, though I'm happy to work with kids of any age. I'm incredibly responsible, organized, and dependable, and I always strive to create a safe and fun environment for the children I care for. In addition to childcare, I'm happy to help around the house with cooking, cleaning, laundry, dog walking, and other household tasks. I also speak French and a little Spanish, and I'm glad to help with homework or provide extra academic support when needed. A little about me: I love spending time outdoors, exploring New York, and visiting art museums. Whether we're doing crafts, playing outside, reading books, or helping with homework, I enjoy finding activities that keep kids engaged and having fun. I'd love the opportunity to meet your family and help however l can!

Yaritza $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Yaritza, and I’m currently a sophomore at NYU. I’ve had hands-on childcare experience since I was 14, caring for my nieces, which helped me develop a genuine love for working with children. I’m comfortable picking children up from daycare or school, assisting with homework, and engaging them in fun and age-appropriate activities. I’m also happy to help with light cleaning and running errands when needed.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Middletown, NJ

Hello! My name is Ava and I have quite a bit of nannying and babysitting experience! I am 22 years old and began seriously nannying when I was 17. However, the real babysitting started when my two little brothers were born and I gained newborn and early childhood experience through them. I have helped numerous families and absolutely love children. I am energetic and uplifting and love to adventure with the children or stick to a successful routine! I live in the East Village area but can commute if needed. I am experienced in all ages, and can do overnight as well!

Ava has beautiful warm energy and a fun spirit that inspired my girls to begin hugging her almost immediately upon meeting and made me feel very comfortable with my choice of her as a sitter. She took them out to dinner and shopping in SoHo and checked in regularly and, most remarkably (given time change since we are traveling), had them asleep by the time we returned from dinner. 💖

Chloe $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Chloe, and I’m an incoming medical student with a passion for working with children. I currently work at a fertility clinic and am looking for part-time opportunities before starting medical school this August. I’m Basic Life Support (BLS) certified and have experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve also been tutoring for many years and am happy to help with homework, studying, and academic support. In addition, I previously worked at a museum of science, where I taught science concepts to children ages 5 and under! I love to cook and am completely comfortable preparing meals, whether it’s simple snacks or full dinners. (Bonus! I played college lacrosse and have coached on the side and if any of your kids are interested in lacrosse, I would be happy to play with them and coach!) I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I always strive to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment for kids. I would love the opportunity to connect and help care for your little ones!
