Marae $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Marae and I love working with kids!! I've been babysitting for about 5 years now and out of all my jobs, it's always been my favorite:) Being the daughter of an elementary school teacher I was raised with a deep appreciation for peace + love, and I love keeping that cycle going! I'm open to all aspects of care-taking for children (including any special needs for neurodivergent children), except driving and changing diapers. I am also open to house-care such as grocery shopping, laundry, tidying up, etc. I am currently in college, so I don't have my degree yet but I'm working on it!

Maria $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maria, I just graduated from AMDA here in New York and I am offering child care services! I have been working with children since I was 13. I have babysat children from the ages of infant to 10 years old since I was 15. I volunteered for three years in an a third grade classroom working with students once a week. I also have music directed elementary school plays, and helped the children with their projects. I love kids. They’re such a joy and I love to be able to work with them. I also love animals and I’m comfortable with working/helping care for them while caring for kids. I am also able to cook and clean. I’m very comfortable in the kitchen and with keeping things tidy.

Michelle $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Michelle Rios, I’m 21 years old and currently a student at Fordham University in New York City. I was born in Boston and raised in Colombia, and I speak both English and Spanish fluently. I have been babysitting since high school and have experience caring for children ranging from infants who require diaper changes and feeding routines to children around 7 years old. I also have experience babysitting for families in NYC with children ages 1–7. In addition to babysitting, I have helped children with reading, writing, and schoolwork through tutoring and daycare-related activities. I genuinely love working with kids and creating a safe, caring, and engaging environment for them. I’m very patient, responsible, organized, and energetic, and I always aim to make children feel comfortable and supported. I also love cooking and baking, and I’m happy to help families however I can. Families would describe me as dependable, warm, and trustworthy, and I always treat every child with care and attention as if they were my own family.

Haneen $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Haneen — a product designer with a background in architecture, and someone who has genuinely always loved being around kids. I grew up looking after younger siblings and cousins, and have helped out friends and family as a babysitter over the years, so I'm comfortable with the rhythms of caring for little ones even if it's not my full-time world. I'm creative by nature and training, and I'd love to bring that into time spent with kids, teaching them to draw, paint, work through a puzzle, or just make something fun with whatever's around. I speak Arabic fluently too, which kids tend to find pretty exciting. I'm available part-time and happy to work with most age groups, I don't have a specialty, but I'm attentive, patient, and good at reading what a kid needs in the moment. One small thing: I'm allergic to cats, so homes with cats aren't a great fit, but dogs are totally fine by me! If you're looking for someone reliable, warm, and a little creative to spend time with your kids, I'd love to connect.
