Hi everyone! My name is Kate, and I am seeking a part-time or full-time nanny position. I grew up in Ridgewood, NJ, and I am a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Julia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Julia! I'm originally from Los Angeles and currently a sophomore at Indiana University studying Sport Marketing and Management with a minor in Business. I am highly organized, active, and responsible. During high school, I completed 300 hours of sports medicine volunteering, which instilled in me a strong sense of care, safety, and attention to detail. I offer dedicated child care, basic pet care, and general household assistance, including organizing and running errands. I have one year of formal babysitting experience, primarily working with active toddlers and school-aged children, ensuring they stay engaged and follow their daily routines safely.love keeping kids active! Because of my background playing tennis, I really enjoy getting kids outside for sports, games, and physical activities. I also love helping them with creative projects and reading. As a current college student, I am well-equipped to provide homework help and tutoring across various subjects. I am also great at teaching basic tennis skills to keep kids moving and having fun! While in high school, I completed 300 hours of sports medicine volunteering. This extensive experience gave me a strong foundation in health, safety, and first-aid principles, making me highly attentive to physical well-being. I also am CPR certified. I am an animal lover and am very comfortable interacting with and caring for standard household pets, including most breeds of dogs and cats, as I have dogs of my own. I am happy to handle neighborhood walks, manage feeding schedules, and provide plenty of energetic playtime. I am completely comfortable around large dogs and pets that shed.

Chloe $19 per hour for 1 child

NYC born and raised (Lower Manhattan), I've been babysitting kids ages 1–12 for years and genuinely love it. Whether it's completing a puzzle on the living room floor, exploring the city together, or picking them up from practice or class, I'm happiest spending time with kids and keeping them engaged. I'm experienced with the full routine from meals, bedtime, baths, the works, and I take full responsibility to make sure everything is taken care of for the child. I have a very flexible schedule over the next few weeks before heading back to college, so I can work around your family's needs.

Isis 1 review
Booked by 1 family in College Point, NY

Hi there! I'm a 40 something-year-old Brooklyn resident, dog owner, and lifelong animal lover looking to care for your pets while you're away. My own rescue dogs have taught me a lot about patience, routine, and reading what an animal needs even when they can't tell you directly — from an anxious wait by the door to a happy tail-wag greeting. I know that handing your pet over to someone else, especially while you're traveling, can bring up a lot of worry: Will they get enough exercise? Will someone notice if something's off? Will I get updates? As a frequent traveler myself, I've been on both sides of that anxiety, and I take it seriously. I'm primarily interested in short-term dog care, with a 2-night minimum preferred — long weekends, extended trips, or overnight stays in your home or mine. I'm comfortable with multiple dogs if they're used to each other, and happy to administer medication as needed. I work with dogs at every life stage. I have hands-on experience with puppies, including the consistency and patience that early training and routine-building require, as well as with senior dogs and end-of-life care, where comfort, gentleness, and close attention to changing needs matter most. Whatever stage your dog is in, I'll approach their care with the same warmth and attentiveness. You can expect me to be reliable, communicative, and genuinely attentive — I'll follow your routines, send photo/text updates, and treat your pet with the same care I'd want for my own. If you're looking for someone calm, experienced, and trustworthy to look after your furry family member, I'd love to help.

“Isis is a reliable, consistent pet sitter. We've loved working with her and hope she is always available for us!!”
