Hi! My name is Lourdes, I am looking for one time + part time babysitting gigs for now - onward. Happy to discuss my available hours! Since September 2021, I have experience with kids from 3 months - 14 years old. I also have extensive experience with pet + house sitting (cats and dogs). For my longest term gig, from December 2021 - February 2023 I was a part-time nanny for a family in the West Village with 3 children (ages 6-12) and supported with tasks such as school pick up, meal prep, bedtime, packing, homework assistance, emotional support, ubering around, light housekeeping, and traveled with them internationally. Whilst working with them, I also was able to develop relationships with other families within their school community, a total of 6 other families who would be able to, and to this day, ask for help when needed. I've been described as fun, creative, crafty, and very quick on my feet, I'm a great multitasker. I've also been described as the family "vibe checker", I'm always looking to brighten up the energy in a room. I am currently in school full time to finish my BA in Film Production and Classical / Latin Studies. I speak fluent Italian and Spanish, and am developing a career as an actor and film producer. I am a big advocate for the arts and would love to share my love for reading / painting / singing with whomever I'm babysitting. Additionally, I am an entrepreneur running my social media marketing agency during the day. I’m also the oldest of four sisters, if that’s any reassurance, and have also done school drop off, pick up, and meal prep with them. I love cooking and am also comfortable tidying up with dishes and meal prep. My Linkedin is the same as my name here. Happy to provide references. Hope to meet you soon!
“Lourdes is everything you could want in a sitter. She’s communicative, flexible and fun. She started babysitting for me when I was a new mom and nervous about leaving my baby with someone who wasn’t a family member and now it’s hard for me to leave my kids with anyone else! We love Lourdes! Highly recommend!”
Hi! My name is Mary Kate! I am a 27 year old nanny and clinical mental health counseling graduate student with 5 years of professional childcare experience. I offer childcare and pet sitting services! I have worked with children ages 6 months- 11 years and multiples. I am able to help with meal prep, errand running, toilet training, homework help, laundry and other light housekeeping. I have 3 years of experience working as a preschool/kindergarten teacher. This has further strengthened my love of children and ability to work with them in a growth oriented way. I hold a college degree in psychology and early childhood education. I am also currently working towards my master’s in mental health counseling. I will bring my knowledge of child development and social emotional learning to my care. I can develop age appropriate activities to help your kiddos become the best versions of themselves! I also have experience with both cat and dog sitting.
Hi - my name is Kristy, and I am a retired-teacher turned lawyer who is offering childcare, pet care, and/or tutoring services I love kids and have a lot of experience babysitting and tutoring. My youngest sister is nine years younger than me, so I started babysitting at 13 years old. I also was a kindergarten teacher for four years before I went to law school. I regularly watch my nephews, godsons, and niece. I also have tutored elementary aged students for over 10 years. In regards to pet care, I am a frenchie mom and love animals. I have watched friends and family members pets while they are out of town. I’m very responsible and caring. I also have a good sense of humor. Looking forward to meeting you.
“I highly recommend Kristy as a babysitter. With extensive experience caring for children of various ages, Kristy has consistently demonstrated a strong ability to engage, entertain, and care for kids in a safe and nurturing environment. Her reliability is exceptional, always showing up on time and prepared. Additionally, Kristy maintains a high level of professionalism, communicating effectively with parents and ensuring all needs are met. Whether it's managing mealtime, helping with homework, or planning fun activities, Kristy approaches every task with enthusiasm and care. You can trust Kristy to provide a positive and dependable babysitting experience for your children. She has experience in the field of education as well as a former kindergarten teacher!”
My name is Emily! I work at an art gallery in Chelsea and am looking to take a part time babysitting gig in the mornings or late afternoons. I've been babysitting since I was 14 and worked as a youth dance teacher for 6 years. I'm comfortable with kids of all ages including infants and have worked with families with as many as 5 kids under 12! My responsibilities have included school drop off/pick up, making meals, helping with homework, and coming up with activities to keep everyone entertained and happy. I love animals of all kind and am happy to assist with any housework.
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!
