Sofia $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sofia, and I recently graduated from Syracuse University with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition Science and Biology. I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Human Nutrition at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, with plans to attend medical school in the next two years. I have a strong passion for women’s health and preventative medicine, and I truly enjoy caring for and supporting others. Beyond academics, I’ve grown up in a large family surrounded by children, which made babysitting second nature to me. I have years of babysitting experience throughout high school and college, and nothing brings me more joy than spending time with kids and supporting them through their most important developmental years. I am CPR certified, trained in emergency healthcare, and fluent in Spanish as a dual citizen of Spain. In my free time, I love dancing, taking long walks, spending time outdoors, traveling, and exploring new restaurants and coffee shops. I look forward to bringing energy, responsibility, and warmth to the families I work with!

Courtney 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old, caring for families with anywhere from one to four children ranging in age from newborns to 12 years old. I also have a one year old of my own and bring a strong educational background to my childcare experience. I’ve been a teacher for nine years with a focus in special education and have taught Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. I’m very hands-on and love engaging kids in both indoor and outdoor activities, from creative crafts to active play. I’m also happy to help with homework, chores, and daily routines. I can prepare meals, tidy up, and ensure the kids stay on track while having fun. In addition to my love for working with children, I’m an animal lover who grew up with dogs and currently has a chocolate lab.

Absolutely wonderful! Courtney is engaged with my son the whole time she is here!
