Find a babysitter in Brooklyn, NY

Creative, reliable, patient, and understanding. I have 15+ years experience working with children of all ages. As the oldest of 15 cousins, I began babysitting early and have always loved working with kids. I spent six summers as both a counselor and Arts + Crafts Department Head at an overnight camp in New Hampshire for kids ages 8-18, and earned degrees in Elementary and Special Education from the University of Vermont. I will always treat your little ones with respect and am comfortable navigating big emotions or challenging behaviors with a cool head and a positive outlook. I love finding fun and creative ways to make mundane tasks exciting, and love learning about children's interests and personalities to help them grow into their truest selves. I can support caregiving, learning, extracurriculars, household chores... I'm happy to jump in and help make your day-to-day a little easier! I have some experience with pets (mostly cats + dogs) and while I have less experience with senior care, I am confident that I have the right demeanor and skillset to provide those services if needed. A bit more about me: I enjoy cooking, live music, art, and exploring the city as a recent transplant from Quincy, MA. I spent the past six years working for a 3D Printing startup based in Boston where I lead Workplace Experience and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion efforts. My partner's career has recently brought us to NYC, a move I have been wanting to make for quite some time now. I visited the city frequently before our move and have a large network of friends living here, so while I am a new resident I have spent substantial time here and am comfortable with basic safety and transportation routes. If I seem like a good fit for your family's needs, please reach out to chat!

Hello Dear Families, My name is Elena and I currently work in a Montessori School, before that I worked at an Early Intervention Center helping children with autism. I have been working with children for more than five years ranging from the ages of 3 months to 6 years old. I've also had the pleasure of being a part time nanny for a 2 year old boy for over year, my responsibilities included creating a schedule for the child, helping with meal prep, bathing, light house work, finding things to do in the area for the child, and creating learning activities for the child, and helping with bedtime. I have my CPR/ First Aid, SIDS, and Infant brain development certifications.

Hi! My name is Beck (she/they) and I am sitter/caregiver with 10+ years of experience. I have been a nanny/sitter in the city for over dozens of families for kids ages newborn-13 years old (including experience with twins and triplets!). I am also comfortable being a caregiver for seniors and children/adults with different abilities and special needs as I have cared for both. My prior responsibilities include driving, creative outlets (music and dance as I have a background in those), cooking, house work/cleaning, and running errands. I am also comfortable with any type of pet you may have and offer pet/house sitting as well! I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Hi! My name is Willow and I am a recent grad from NYU. I have some babysitting experience for other families in high school, but most of my experience is with my younger brother from the ages of 0-4. Responsibilities include running errands, outdoor time, crafting, cooking, cleaning the house, and bedtime. I am flexible, warm and patient. Right now I am working part time at Brooklinen, where much of my focus is on making sure people feel welcome. I love meeting new people, and work great one-on-one. Outside of customer service, my job is to maintain a clean and comfortable space. I am calm, flexible, and comfortable balancing interaction with organizational tasks. I also have dog and cat sitting experience. I have had pets my whole life- I love animals and am very comfortable with their care. I have experience with nannying for senior cats over an extended period, and am comfortable with feeding, changing litter, giving medication and playing. With my own dogs, I am comfortable walking them daily, and taking care of hygiene such as teeth brushing and hair brushing.

*Not interested in rude and disrespectful parents. I am looking to assist a lovely family with child care (ages 2-12). This includes pick up/drop off, housekeeping, organizing, scheduling, food preparation, feeding, bathing, tutoring, etc. The most fascinating thing I find with child care is the chance to re-see and relearn the world through children's point of view and experience. A well-educated and cultured individual, who previously worked in corporate, I am finding new fulfillment being around children. I am active in my daily life, so I can keep up with activities. My personality is patient, caring and empathetic, with honesty and a sense of humor. I value safety, respect and being a positive role model. I enjoy working with children, even in my previous corporate jobs. In addition to being a certified yoga instructor, I also have experience in school volunteering and tutoring. I look forward to meeting and getting to know your family. Thank you. *Pet care experience - previously had 5 cats and 4 dogs.
