Kayla $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sivan, and I'm a recent Hunter College graduate. I have 14 nieces and nephews so I have been caring for children ever since I was young. I worked as a daycare substitute from 2[removed] and as a lifeguard in the summers, and nannied 2021-22. From 2022-2023 I worked full time at a day school before returning to college full-time. I graduate in the spring and am looking for part-time nannying that may potentially become full-time post graduation. Most of my experience is with newborns to age 4, but I have cared for children ages 6-11 in the past. I don't mind light housekeeping, pet care, and cooking, and am able to do school drop-off and pickup. I believe in honesty and communication with both parents and children.

Emily $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in College Point, NY

Hi, I’m Miss. Emily! I’ve always looked for opportunities to work with children and genuinely enjoy being around them. In my full time role as an urban planner, my work is often structured and fast paced, so I really value the opportunity to spend time in a more playful, engaging environment where I can connect with kids and bring a positive, upbeat energy. I have extensive babysitting experience caring for children from newborns to middle schoolers, including school pick ups, coordinating playdates and extracurricular activities, helping with homework, and managing nap and bedtime routines. I’m primarily looking for occasional or part time babysitting opportunities such as date nights, after school care, or weekend help, and I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of ages and responsibilities. I’m someone kids tend to feel comfortable around pretty quickly. I’m naturally warm and attentive, and I enjoy keeping them engaged through outdoor time, crafts, and reading while adjusting my approach based on their personality. I’ve also stayed involved with children through volunteer work such as summer camps, mentoring, and tutoring, and previously worked part time as a Spanish kindergarten teacher, which gave me hands on classroom experience. I value creating a fun, engaging environment where kids feel comfortable, cared for, and free to be themselves!

Jasmine 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Jasmine and I’m offering babysitting services for all ages. I provide the perfect balance of fun, care, and routine. I know how important it is to make sure your kids stick to their routine, and I’ll be able to do that! I’m pretty funny and great at entertaining kids. Kids usually gravitate towards me! My inner child is very much alive so whether they’re going to the park or staying home, I’ll make sure the kids are occupied with games, story time, or homework. I have no problem helping with homework! By the time you get home, the homework will be done and toys will be cleaned up…unless they’re still playing of course. I went to Barnard College where I majored in psychology. I graduated in 2015. During my undergrad I was part of the Barnard Babysitting Agency for at least 3 years (I can't remember if I joined my freshman year or sophomore year). During that time I had several consistent babysitting jobs. I mostly had toddlers, but on occasion I had young children around 8 years old. I also babysat twin teenagers for a short time. I have experience changing diapers, cooking food, heating up food in a household with no microwave, and some housekeeping (dishes, tidying up). I have experience taking kids to afterschool activities like karate, the park, and the children's museum. To show I go the extra mile, I don’t have piano training, but I once helped one of the children I was babysitting practice their piano lessons. On that day he improved and I learned how to play Ol McDonald Had a Farm. In my family, I have a baby cousin who I have babysat since she was just a few months old (she's 13 now!) I’m great with kids and also pets! If you have a cat, dog, snake, bird, hamster, I’m a lover of all animals and I’m not allergic to any!

“Jasmine Ruiz has babysat my 13-year-old daughter, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her! Jasmine is kind, caring, responsible, and very personable. She has a natural ability to connect with teenagers and understands their language, interests, and personalities, which makes such a difference. My daughter feels comfortable, happy, and, most importantly, safe in Jasmine’s care. Jasmine is not someone who simply supervises children; she genuinely engages with them, plays games, interacts, and makes sure they have a great time. She is also a great cook and wonderful with animals, which is an added bonus! One of the qualities I appreciate most about Jasmine is her communication. At the end of each day, she provides thoughtful feedback about how everything went. She is very observant and vigilant, and if she notices any concerns, she makes sure parents are informed. As a mother, having someone who is trustworthy, attentive, nurturing, and genuinely enjoys spending time with children gives me tremendous peace of mind. I highly recommend Jasmine Ruiz to any family looking for a dependable, compassionate, and engaging babysitter. She is truly a gem! ❤️”

Hi, I am Alex and I would love to help take care of your pup. I have always been around dogs my whole life. I understand that every dog is different and I am very patient with them. I currently have a job at night so I would be more than happy to walk your dog during the day or weekend.

Adriana $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Adriana and I am an elementary school teacher on the Upper East Side. I just finished my 6th year of teaching and I have experience teaching 3rd-5th grade. My experience with working with children ages 4-14 dates back to when I was in high school when I taught dance classes at my dance studio. I also worked as a camp counselor at a 7 week sleep away camp in Maine for three summers during college. I love babysitting and tutoring kids between the ages of 4 and 14.
