Marisol $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Marisol and I live on the Upper West Side in Manhattan and am available in all 5 boroughs. I am 31 years old and have extensive experience with working with children and babysitting. I have worked at a Preschool in Park Slope, Les Petits Bilingues De New York, and babysat for several families in Westchester, NY. I have baby sat for 6 years. I am very creative and believe that playing and engaging with the kids I babysit is very important. I'm not about just putting them in front of a screen and sitting on my phone. I'm big on making sure your kids will have fun and get to bed on time. My brother is on the spectrum so kindness is something I really value and I will be very kind to your kids and encourage them in any way I can. I can cook, clean, and make sure everyone gets to bed at their appropriate bed time. I look forward to working for you and your family:) I also love all animals (I'm randomly allergic to cows..but that shouldn't be a problem in NYC ;) and am great at cleaning.

Katherine $30 per hour for 1 child

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. I am moving to NYC in the fall to begin my master’s in Mental Health Counseling at Fordham University. I have over 6 years of childcare experience, working with children from 2 weeks to 11 years old. I love spending time outdoors, doing crafts, cooking, and finding creative ways to keep kids active and entertained. I’m happy to help with transportation, activities, meals, and more. I’m also comfortable with pets and happy to assist with light housekeeping if needed!

Chaya $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi My name is Maisie, I'm 29 and a culinary school graduate. I hope you can look past my lack of reviews I've yet to book any jobs here, I'd be happy to provide personal references. I have a nephew who's nearly five and a niece who's nearly three. Since becoming an aunt I've spent quite a bit of time providing my sister with the extra help she's needed. Aside from the usual hands on auntie time, I moved in with my sister for the month after my niece was born to help out. Additionally, when she was 9 months old, I spent a week alone with her as I transitioned her from breast feeding to formula. I have experience bathing, feeding, and changing their diapers. I feel comfortable in the kitchen and can help with meals. I'm very health conscious, and can provide nutritious meals. I don't have a car of my own, however, I can drive. I'm also a huge lover of dogs and have some experience with dog sitting/walking. A little fun fact about me, I actually grew up in brooklyn. I was raised to love and appreciate all the beauty and culture this wonderful city has to offer. I'd love to help pass that on to your kids with walks around the city, museum visits, and park days.

Hi! Thank you for taking a look at my profile! I graduated from NYU with my bachelor’s in Biology on the premed track. I now currently work as a research technician at MSK.

I’m also available for tutoring and homework help particularly in the areas of math and science. If you think we’d be a good fit, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Michaela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi- I’m Michaela. I’m 29. I’ve been working with kids since I was 16, and over the years, I’ve had the chance to work with children and teens ages 3 to 19 in all kinds of settings. I’ve worked as a teacher, in early intervention, in elementary schools, and as a school social worker, including with autistic children. No matter the role, my focus has always been on creating a supportive and engaging environment where kids feel safe, understood, and encouraged to grow. Right now, I’m pursuing my Doctorate in Social Work at LIU because I want to deepen my understanding of child and family well-being. I do this work because I love it—helping kids thrive is incredibly important to me, and I bring patience, experience, and a genuine passion for working with children to everything I do.
