Tracy-Lee $20 per hour for 1 child
I have been in education for over 10 plus years and currently work at a middle school in Brooklyn. I also manage the after-school program, hence my availability only on weekends and holidays. CPR certified every 2 years, as this is a requirement of Department of Education. Parents, nothing surprises or scares me. I am not afraid of vomit or diarrhea nor a bug if your little one brings me one as a gift. Just dropped my baby off at college, so you can say I am looking for another baby to love and care for.
Gema $30 per hour for 1 child
I have a background in taking care of children, ensuring their safety and happiness. Reliable: You can count on me to be punctual and dependable, so you can enjoy your night out worry-free. Engaging: I love engaging kids in fun activities, games, and crafts that are both entertaining and educational. -CPR/First Aid Certified: Your child’s safety is my top priority.

Hi - My name is Stephanie and I'm currently a senior at NJCU. I am offering child care and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands.
Lillie $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I’m Lillie, a college student here in the city! I am offering many services from pet care and childcare to cleaning and household tasks! I have previously worked multiple customer service jobs which have required communicating with people of all ages. One of these jobs was at a bakery where my responsibilities also included a lot of cleaning and organizing. I have younger cousins and neighbors who I have babysat from time to time, and have spent the past two summers caring for my elderly grandmother. This care (for either/and children and the elderly) has included reading and writing, word and board games, and cooking and cleaning. As far as pets go, I have had dogs, cats, and rabbits my whole life, as well as petsit for friends and family.
Michelle $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi, my name is Michelle, I’m 25 years old, I work from home for a non-profit, and am based in Williamsburg! I love to spend time with children, I babysit for many of my younger cousins who are all elementary school aged! In high school I worked at an after-school program at an elementary school in Maryland where I was responsible for kindergartners and first graders! I helped them with homework, snack time, and took them out to the playground! I also love cats, and have one myself so I would be happy to help out with any cats at home. I am also happy to do any dog walking!
