Find a babysitter in Brooklyn, NY

Currently a media professional, I’ve always loved caring for others. I grew up with the mindset that if you take care of your community, your community will take care of you. I worked at my family’s daycare center for 5 years while in high school and some throughout college. While in college a volunteered at an underserved after school program, where I established a library and secured grants to expand the program. Working with families and children, while helping them flourish has always been a passion.

I'm a warm, loving, energetic and young at heart childcare professional, and passionate about giving high-quality care. Besides free play, I create activities that are both fun and educational, and incorporate music and art into a child’s day. I cultivate a safe, warm, and comfortable environment in which children can learn, develop, and express themselves while also nurturing social skills. I’m experienced at establishing routines and setting rules and boundaries in a gentle manner, always using positive language. Before I became a childcare professional, I first had two children of my own, a girl and a boy, two years apart. Raising them has been my biggest endeavor and accomplishment so far. They are now in college. It was the passion of raising my own two children, and my desire to understand how I could best support them on their way to become well-rounded and successful adults, which inspired me to to study and earn a B.A. in Early Childhood Education and turn this passion into my profession.  During my 10yrs of working with children ranging in age from newborn to 9yrs old, I was as a nanny of an infant with a sibling, a group teacher of 25 kids, a care teacher for a pod of 4, including twins, and a co-teacher for 6 kids, 18mo-5yrs. These varied experiences with children, both in private homes and teaching in more formal preschool settings, as well as parenting, has equipped me with a unique blend of insights and skills, ideal for nurturing and educating children.  I particularly enjoy working with babies, toddlers and preschoolers, and have proven many times, that I am able to take care of multiple children at a time, whether they are twins, or siblings different ages. Additionally, I would like to stress, that I am not only fluent in English, but German and French as well, should you wish to expose your children to other languages.  Besides childcare I am happy to help with kid's laundry, keeping their rooms organized and clean, doing light housekeeping, cooking and baking, both healthy, child-friendly, and if desired vegetarian. In my private time I enjoy cooking nutritious and delicious recipes, including various dips, spreads and sugar-free treats, always adding to my little recipe repertoire for children. I also like to stay physically active with riding bike, pilates, swimming and dancing. I'm looking for additional babysitting 10am-3pm weekdays and weekday evenings from 7pm/7:15 on, with occasional weekends.

Hi! My name is Amelia, I’m 22 years old, and was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. I recently graduated from the University of Vermont, where I majored in Studio Art and minored in Art History. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love working with kids and have babysitting experience through the Babysitters Guild, where I worked for three summers in a row, as well as experience working at a sleepaway camp. I enjoy doing arts and crafts, playing games, spending time outside, reading, and creating a fun and comfortable environment for kids. I’m also a huge animal lover and have a cat and dog of my own. I’m happy to help with dog walking, feeding, playtime, fresh water, litter box care, and general pet sitting. I’m comfortable with different animals and always make sure to follow their routines and any specific instructions from their owners. I’m also happy to help around the house with tidying, dishes, laundry, organizing, taking out the trash, and errands. I’m dependable, patient, and communicative, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your kids, pets, and home!

Hi families! My name is Gio, but kids call me Gigi. I have over three years of childcare experience. Recently, I worked with a family in the East Village, caring for two 12-year-old and two 10-year-old girls. I helped with school pick-ups, after-school activities, playdates, homework support, meal preparation, and even stayed late sometimes. I also helped with laundry, errands, and maintaining routines to keep the household running smoothly. Before that, I worked as an au pair in both Connecticut and Italy, caring for young children (around 2 years old) and supporting families with daily routines, outdoor activities, meals, and age-appropriate play. I’m reliable, organized, patient, and enjoy building strong relationships with both children and parents. I believe in creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment while also helping families feel supported. I’m currently a student in New York City and have a flexible schedule. I’m available for after-school care most weekdays, but I can also accommodate longer daytime schedules on certain days each week. I’d be happy to discuss availability and find a schedule that works well for your family.

Hi! I am 21 years old and attend Oberlin College in Ohio where I'm studying psychology. I grew up in Brooklyn Heights and have lived here my whole life, so I am comfortable with public transportation, going to park, and other fun attractions for kids.When home on breaks, I live with my two parents, older brother, younger sister and dog. I have experience sitting for kids ages 1-9; this includes playing with them and getting them dinner together, bathing them and putting them in pjs, and reading books to put them to sleep. Sometimes I would bring my dog because one girl loved to play with him. I am allergic to dogs and cats, but I am able to work with families who have dogs that do not shed. In my free time I love to bake, paint, sew, play frisbee, and take my dog to the park. While my certification has lapsed, I have taken courses in CPR and first aid.
