Dependable and dedicated caregiver with over 13+ years of childcare experience supporting families with infants through pre-teens. I provide after-school, evening, and weekend care for households with up to five children. Known for being reliable, calm, and adaptable, I bring a strong understanding of child development and age-appropriate engagement. I prioritize creating a safe, structured, and nurturing environment where children are encouraged to think creatively, develop independence, and practice respect for themselves and others. I communicate clearly with parents, maintain consistency in routines, and approach caregiving with professionalism, patience, and care. My résumé and letters of recommendation are available upon request. I welcome the opportunity to connect and further discuss how my experience and approach can support your family’s needs.

Farah was fantastic! She watched our kids during a date night while we were visiting New York, and she was exactly what we hoped for. She was warm, dependable, and easy to communicate with. We came home to happy, sleeping kids and had complete peace of mind while we were out. We’d happily book Farah again the next time we’re in New York.

Booked by 7 families in Ridgefield, NJ

Hi! My name is Tess and I am a student at Fordham University. I am offering babysitting, pet care and household chore services. I have been a babysitter since I was twelve, starting as a mother's helper and onwards from there. My responsibilities included driving to and from school, helping with homework, sports and activites, putting the kiddos to bed, and overall general home care. I have worked with ages 1-14, as a babysitter, camp counselor and nanny. As a sociology major, I hope to start a career in early education! I am happy to help with any animals, as a cat and dog lover myself. I'm currently working with a range of ages, from 1-14 but am happy to help with younger or older.

We are so happy we found Tess, she inspired confidence from our first interview. I was nervous about finding a sitter for my 10 month old but now I look forward to her playtime with Tess while I’m in class. She’s been super punctual, flexible, and professional- best of all she seems to click with our baby, who is always happy at pick up time!

Hello- My name is Absa and I am currently a graduate student at New York University. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I first began babysitting professionally at the age of 14 for a few families in my neighborhood but since that have developed a lot of experience working in the California Bay Area, Washington, D.C., and NYC areas. I have cared for infants, toddlers, and kids; my responsibilities including crafts, tutoring, even teaching beginner/intermediate level gymnastics. I am comfortable with household services and cooking as well if necessary. I have worked with families with pets in the past, and am happy to again.

Absa was such a great baby sitter! She was friendly, punctual, communicative, and played really well with my 2 year old. Will hire again :)

**To keep all of the kids I work with healthy, I mask at school, in crowded public spaces, and while babysitting.** I am a Covid-conscious learning specialist available in Manhattan on nights and weekends. I have been babysitting for 15+ years for children of all ages, and in my day job, I work with 4th-12th graders. I've also taught elementary ESL, MS and HS literature and health, and K-2 drama. I’ve worked for a pediatrician’s office and an infant/toddler nursery as well as been a nanny, a camp counselor, and a drama teacher—when it comes to kids, you name it, and I’ve done it!

Wonderful experience with sitter being reliable, communicative and professional.
