Hello! My name is Melissa, I'm 21 years old, and I'm a student looking for a part time babysitting job. As a person with a large family, I have been collecting childcare experience from a very early age. The bulk of my professional experience with children comes from teaching roles. I worked at Brooklyn Museum for two years as an art programs educator in both hands on workshop settings and as a formal tour guide in the galleries. Outside of the formal settings, I used to work as a freelance children's party entertainer. I also taught kids 4-6 literacy skills over the summer as a teen. I am available on weekends and some weekdays after 4:30 p.m. Please give me an idea of your family's needs/schedule and I will do my best to accommodate you! My hourly rate is flexible. Contact me with your budget and I will try to work with you.
NYC born and raised (Lower Manhattan), I've been babysitting kids ages 1–12 for years and genuinely love it. Whether it's completing a puzzle on the living room floor, exploring the city together, or picking them up from practice or class, I'm happiest spending time with kids and keeping them engaged. I'm experienced with the full routine from meals, bedtime, baths, the works, and I take full responsibility to make sure everything is taken care of for the child. I have a very flexible schedule over the next few weeks before heading back to college, so I can work around your family's needs.
Hi! I’m an NYU dental student passionate about pediatric dentistry, with valuable experience working closely with children. I’ve worked as a dental assistant in Boston University’s Head Start and Early Head Start programs, where I developed patience, compassion, and strong caregiving skills. I’m CPR certified for infants and adults, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. As a caregiver, I’m nurturing, reliable, and attentive, creating a warm and calm environment where kids feel happy and comfortable. I also enjoy engaging children with creative activities and games that promote learning and fun. Additionally, I have a year of volunteer experience at an animal shelter in Boston, giving me particular expertise in pet care—especially with cats—so I’m happy to help with your furry family members too. I would love to provide loving, responsible babysitting tailored to your family’s needs!
Hi, I'm Julia! I'm originally from Los Angeles and currently a sophomore at Indiana University studying Sport Marketing and Management with a minor in Business. I am highly organized, active, and responsible. During high school, I completed 300 hours of sports medicine volunteering, which instilled in me a strong sense of care, safety, and attention to detail. I offer dedicated child care, basic pet care, and general household assistance, including organizing and running errands. I have one year of formal babysitting experience, primarily working with active toddlers and school-aged children, ensuring they stay engaged and follow their daily routines safely.love keeping kids active! Because of my background playing tennis, I really enjoy getting kids outside for sports, games, and physical activities. I also love helping them with creative projects and reading. As a current college student, I am well-equipped to provide homework help and tutoring across various subjects. I am also great at teaching basic tennis skills to keep kids moving and having fun! While in high school, I completed 300 hours of sports medicine volunteering. This extensive experience gave me a strong foundation in health, safety, and first-aid principles, making me highly attentive to physical well-being. I also am CPR certified. I am an animal lover and am very comfortable interacting with and caring for standard household pets, including most breeds of dogs and cats, as I have dogs of my own. I am happy to handle neighborhood walks, manage feeding schedules, and provide plenty of energetic playtime. I am completely comfortable around large dogs and pets that shed.
Hi! My name is Michelle, and I work remotely as a consultant Monday through Friday. In addition to my professional work, I’m offering reliable child care, senior care, pet care, and household services to families in need of extra help. I’ve been caring for children of all ages since I was 14, and I truly enjoy creating fun, safe, and nurturing environments for them. I also volunteered at a preschool, where I loved helping the kids learn and grow through play and creative activities. Along with childcare, I have experience caring for seniors — especially my grandparents — and understand the importance of patience, kindness, and companionship. I’m responsible, caring, and easy to work with & I take pride in providing the kind of care that you can rely on. I’d be more than happy to chat over the phone or meet in person so you can get to know me better and feel completely comfortable :)
