Bianca $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated, responsible, and caring person with over 5 years of experience working directly with children of different ages. I enjoy creating a welcoming and fun environment where they can feel safe and stimulated. I am patient and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I have strong references and am available to talk. In addition to childcare, I can also assist with basic household tasks, especially those related to the children, such as meal preparation, tidying up play areas, and helping with their daily routines. In my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to music, spending time outdoors, and being with family and friends. I also appreciate creative activities such as crafts and cooking, which I often incorporate into play and activities with children.

Carly $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Carly. I am a preschool teacher living in Queens. I have a BFA in Fine Arts from Purchase College and a MSEd in Early Childhood Education from City College. I have about 10 years of experience working with children in a variety of ways including as a camp counselor, teacher, and babysitter. I love working with children and enjoy learning about their interests and gaining an understanding of their perspectives in the world. As a babysitter it is my goal to ensure the children feel secure and cared for, that their individuality is respected, to form a meaningful connection with them, and to be a valuable source of support in their lives as well as to their family.

Valentina $29 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families! I’m valentina, a warm, reliable and experienced childcare provider with over 6 years of experience. I’ve worked as an au pair, babysitter and youth programs team leader. I genuinely enjoy being part of children’s everyday life. I’m happy and comfortable helping with anything from newborn care- feeding, diaper changing, naps and routines- to school pick ups, homework help and keeping kids entertained throughout the day. I am bilingual in Spanish and English, and hold an Associate degree in Behavioral Sciences, with a particular interest in child development and communications. I am currently based in NYC and looking for a part-time or occasional position with a family who is interested in a dependable, caring and easy to communicate with caregiver. I’d love to connect, learn about your family and see if we’re a good fit!
