Arifah is kind, patient, and incredibly attentive, and she truly connects with the children in her care while always keeping safety and routines a top priority. What stands out most about Arifah is her calm, reassuring presence and her natural ability to read children’s needs. She is dependable, thoughtful, and communicates clearly, which gives parents real peace of mind.

Booked by 2 families in Flushing, NY

Hello, I’m Halema! I’m attending Hofstra University on a Pre-PT track. I’ve been involved in child care throughout my life. I’ve been babysitting for over 5 years and took part in various environments that required me to take care of children. Such environments would be coaching, tutoring, and volunteering at elementary schools. I’m certified in CPR and First Aid. I would describe myself as patient, responsible, and engaging. I’m based in Hempstead during the school year but am from Brooklyn. I can provide references/recommendations of my services. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your family!

“Halema is fantastic! She was warm and upbeat, professional, and went above and beyond what we asked her to do while caring for our three year-old. Our kiddo had a great time with her and she was communicative with photos and updates. I would definitely recommend her to other families looking for a warm and reliable sitter and will book her again! ”

Booked by 1 family in Flushing, NY

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.

“Gigi has been an extraordinary babysitter, very reliable, very flexible, very nice and easy to deal with.”

Booked by 2 families in Flushing, NY

Hello! My name is Megan. I have a Bachelor's in Musical Theatre with a Communication minor. I have a vast experience working with children--I have helped with many theatre camps and productions that cast children and have been in charge of watching/ entertaining/ organizing a large group. I have a more intimate experience nannying my (almost 2!) niece from the time she was about 3 months old. I love being around kids--I love stories and music (hence my major!) and I feel at ease around children and want to make them happier and learn as much as they can!
