Ciao, Salut! My Name is Blü. I am from the San Francisco Bay Area, but now live here in NYC! I am a BFA graduate from The New School; where I majored in Drama, with minors in screenwriting and French Studies. I have been working in child care for 12 years. Caring for kids from 3mo-14 yrs old. I am fluent in Italian, conversationally fluent in French and Spanish. I can cook almost anything! I am also CPR and First Aid certified for all ages. My past as an athlete and artist means that your kiddo/s will always have something fun and creative to do when under my care! I prioritize integrating skill development, and academic practices into every game, or project! I can help with all needs throughout the day from sleep training, to planning activities, to meal prep and even cleaning.

Chanaiya 4 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi all! Iam a very empathetic and trustworthy caregiver who is extremely reliable. Iam very respectful and have a heart of gold! Personally, I take a child-centered approach. Although I’m happy to introduce fun activities and make suggestions, I’m even more interested in listening to what children are into and encouraging them to explore. This means that I’m willing to allow them to, for instance, climb on playground equipment that they may not be familiar with, which means I will shadow them to prevent any falls. Most importantly, It is important to me that you as the parent, and I as the caretaker are on the same page about how you want your children to be taken care of. I also assist with H.W, bedtime routine, meal prep, medication administration, hygiene care, all while under DIRECT supervision. For my infants, Iam experienced in warming and unfreezing breast milk, burping, Iam able to tell if a child is hungry or tired, diaper changing and how to properly hold a little one, especially before their neck is strong. One of my FAVORITE moments while babysitting, is when one of my kiddos who is on the spectrum, after YEARS of turning down anything that wasn’t a chicken nugget or pizza, FINALLY took his first few bites of a different food with ME! I can’t explain how extremely happy i felt. After YEARS of patience, understanding, determination and emotional support, we hit a goal TOGETHER! I can go on and on about my rewarding experience as a caretaker, but I’m not sure if I’ll ever stop! I look forward to working with you and your family!

“Chanaiya worked for my family as a babysitter and was always dependable, caring, and professional. She has a warm personality and was wonderful with the children, keeping them safe, engaged, and well cared for. She was punctual, responsible, and communicated well with us at all times. We always felt comfortable leaving our children in her care and appreciated the patience and kindness she showed every day. I highly recommend Chanaiya to any family looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver.”

$27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 5 families in Bronx, NY

Hi! My name is Jasmin, and I am a responsible and caring babysitter with 14 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to preteens. I am passionate about providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your little ones. I believe in engaging children in creative activities such as arts and crafts, outdoor play, and educational games. I am also comfortable helping with homework, meal preparation, and light household duties as needed. I am not CPR and First Aid certified, but I am willing to get certified. I understand the importance of clear communication, so I make it a priority to work closely with parents to meet the unique needs of their families. I expect payment for the full time of the original booking. If a booking is cancelled within 24 hours of the start time, the full rate will still be due. Cancellations made within 48 hours of the start time will require a 50% payment, as it can be difficult to secure alternative work on short notice. I look forward to meeting you and your children!

“Jasmin came early and was very nice, attentive and responsible. My daughters said they liked her and looked forward to seeing her again. I definitely recommend her. Jasmin did a wonderful job. She texted me updates as needed and was able to keep my girls engaged during a long day together. She is reliable, professional and fun; An absolute pleasure to work with.”

Shajna 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Bronx, NY

Hi my name is Shajna and I am a stay at home mother. I have three children of my own so I have a lot of experience!! I can work with toddlers and infants. I can work around the house, feeding and putting them to sleep and taking them to school. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands.

“Shajna responded to an unusual request for a targeted intensive two weeks with our nine month old while I traveled on business. We are so lucky she did! Shajna was a marvelous nanny: professional, engaged, warm, responsible, and a joy to be around. She expertly learned our daughter's rhythms and got her to sleep faster than we imagined possible. She is an abundantly generous, unobtrusive and friendly presence to boot. We cannot recommend her highly enough!”

Renee 1 review
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Renee and I am an 18 year old senior graduating 2026. I offer child care, pet care, and a bit of household services. Since as young as I can remember I have been babysitting for family members and close family friends; ranging from infants to toddlers and kids (8months - 10yo) My responsibilities include baths, entertainment, snacks, and just ensuring their well being. I worked for a summer school/camp for over 2 summers with elementary school students where I had to transport them from place to place, help with tutoring and work, and making sure they had a fun time up at site or at the school facilities. For household services I am able to run errands and do some cleaning. I have a love for pets as I have a cat myself and am comfortable with pet sitting friendly animals!! With that being said, I may not have a lot to show on my profile but I can assure you I take my jobs seriously and ensure safety. I’m always available to answer questions as well just reach out.

“Renee is a very hard working girl that does what she can to her best abilities, very much on her own pace and time. She's very good at crafts for entertainment that keeps people busy at times. She was really into baking as a kid and is trying to get into cooking as of recently. She is almost always available after school hours (2:30) or when no events are happening as she is a senior in high school. She has been babysitting for relatives/family since a younger age up until highschool. She babysat all 3 of her nephews/niece since they were babies. She loves taking care of kids and being around them. For 2 summers she worked at a summer camp as a counselor for elementary school kids and is planning on going back this summer as well. On top of that she recently adopted a cat who has been attached to her since we took her home and takes care of sher like her own child. Renee is very good with pets as long as they are docile and friendly. Though she doesn't have a car, transportation would be the main topic but given the time she always tries to be timely and prepared with her jobs.”
