Find a babysitter in Howard Beach, NY

Hi, I’m Anya! I’m a New York City native offering child care, dog-sitting, and house-sitting services across the city. I know every neighborhood and train line like the back of my hand! I hold a BFA with a minor in Business Marketing and currently work a corporate 9-to-5, but I’ve always loved caring for kids. I babysat throughout college and grew up as the eldest of two younger brothers. I also frequently babysit my 12-year-old niece. I work in digital media, so I know all about the latest kid trends - huge fan of K Pop Demon Hunters! I’m responsible, creative, and patient, and I love keeping kids engaged with fun activities like art projects, games, or chess. I cook healthy meals, speak two languages, and am great with dogs (but allergic to cats). I also played volleyball throughout high school, so I'm familiar with sports and a huge advocate for fitness. Also happy to help with homework! I excelled at math, English, and history. Reliable, nurturing, and upbeat. I live in the city, so open to last-minute babysitting needs!

I have over 8 years of childcare experience across a variety of settings, including nannying, coaching, and working in children’s programming. Most recently, I worked as a Kids Club Attendant at the Four Seasons Orlando, where I design and lead engaging activities and games in a high-energy, luxury environment. I also spent three years working in retail at Walt Disney World, where I focused on creating memorable, engaging experiences for families and children. This strengthened my ability to connect quickly with kids and bring energy and positivity into every interaction. In addition, I have extensive coaching experience with both the Savannah Sharks and Upper Merion Allstars, where I led practices and taught tumbling classes. I also coached a cheer team for children with differing abilities, which was one of the most meaningful parts of my experience. It taught me how to adapt to individual needs, build confidence, and create an inclusive, supportive environment for every child.

Beauty professional and cat mom— I have cared for my own cat and others for the past five years. I am an animal lover and will treat your family as my own!

Hi! I’m Alexis! I’ve been babysitting for years and have worked with kids of all ages, from newborns to teens. I also spent several summers as a camp counselor for ages 2–6, planning activities, keeping everyone safe, and making sure every day was full of fun and laughter. I’m currently a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and CPR/BLS certified, so you can trust that your little ones are in safe hands. I’m also in nursing school, where I’m specializing in women’s health and pediatrics. My goal is to build a career focused on caring for others, and childcare has always been something that feels natural and meaningful to me. I love connecting with kids, whether that means playing outside, doing crafts, helping with homework, or creating cozy routines. I’m patient, responsible, and love bringing a positive, calm energy to every home I work in. A little more about me: I grew up skiing, love being outdoors, hiking, and exploring new places. I truly love being working with families and kids, and I’d be so excited to be a trusted part of yours!
