$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kezi, and I’m a caring, patient, and responsible person who genuinely enjoys being around children. As a mother myself, I understand how important it is for children to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I know how much trust it takes to leave your child in someone else’s care, and I would treat every child with kindness, attention, and respect. I offer attentive childcare, including supervising children, helping with feeding and mealtimes, diaper changes, maintaining routines, engaging children in fun activities, and keeping their spaces tidy. I want parents to feel comfortable knowing their children are in caring and dependable hands. I enjoy helping children learn, explore, and have fun through age-appropriate activities. This can include reading books, singing songs, playing games, doing arts and crafts, taking walks, and encouraging creativity and development.

Lizzie $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lizzie and I have recently moved to New York City and I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 and have experience nannying and caring for children of all ages. One family I’ve worked with has been part of my life for nearly 10 years, giving me the opportunity to care for several of their children from as young as 3 months old. I have also spent time nannying where I have been responsible for cooking meals, helping with homework, driving to and from school/extracurriculars, and assisting with chores. I also have 6 years of experience house and dog sitting, so I’m comfortable caring for pets and keeping a home tidy and organized while you’re away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, and I love cooking, organizing, and helping wherever I can. I’m responsible, dependable, and looking forward to getting to know your family!

Bianca $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated, responsible, and caring person with over 5 years of experience working directly with children of different ages. I enjoy creating a welcoming and fun environment where they can feel safe and stimulated. I am patient and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I have strong references and am available to talk. In addition to childcare, I can also assist with basic household tasks, especially those related to the children, such as meal preparation, tidying up play areas, and helping with their daily routines. In my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to music, spending time outdoors, and being with family and friends. I also appreciate creative activities such as crafts and cooking, which I often incorporate into play and activities with children.
