Phoebe $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Middle Village, NY

Hello! My name is Phoebe, and I'm currently based in Manhattan. Prior to moving to NYC, I lived in Colorado, where I studied Sociology at CU Boulder. I love working with kids, and have experiences nannying with all ages. I've worked as a camp counselor for many years, so I'm pretty handy when it comes to outdoor games and activities! I also love to cook, and love getting kids involved in cooking, crafts, and other fun activities. I am happy to help with Travel, Housekeeping, and Cooking!

Olivia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia and I am currently a first year grad student at NYU. I have been a montessori preschool and kindergarten teacher for the past 5 years as well as a babysitter and nanny for much longer. In addition to that experience I have also been director of a summer camp for the past 4 years. I have worked with children ages 1 year to 12 years and love working with multiples (I currently work with three siblings). I can cook, clean, assist with homework, navigate travel to other activities, and I love playing games and doing crafts! I am very comfortable helping with animals and doing household chores and errands.

Susanna $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I have been babysitting for about 9 years now and have experience with kids of many ages. I am currently a college student and have recently worked as a swim instructor, so I’m very comfortable caring for children in a way that is safe, fun, and engaging. I can help with homework, prepare meals, and keep kids entertained with games and activities. I’m responsible, patient, and reliable and I always try my absolute best to create a positive environment for both kids and parents.

Fei fei $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m a responsible, organized, and dependable professional based in the West Village. I work full-time in corporate operations during the week and am specifically looking for weekend opportunities to help local families with childcare, pet care, and household support. I’ve also been a Wag! dog walker and pet caregiver since 2019, giving me several years of experience caring for pets of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I enjoy working with families because it gives me a chance to step away from my typical workweek, do something more hands-on, and spend my time helping others in a way that feels rewarding. I studied psychology and graphic design, and I especially enjoy creative activities, staying active, and spending time with kids. I’m primarily available Saturdays and Sundays and would love to find a family I can help regularly or occasionally. I’m reliable, communicative, organized, and happy to help make your weekends a little easier.

Katelin $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kate, and I’m a certified educator with a strong background in Montessori education, early childhood and elementary education, special education, general education, and family support. I hold dual certification in Early Childhood Education and Childhood Education, with training and experience supporting children across both general and special education settings. My background includes working in Montessori school environments, supporting student programming, partnering closely with families, and serving as a trusted point of communication between parents, children, teachers, and school leadership. What makes me stand out is the combination of warmth, structure, and professionalism I bring into a home. I understand child development, routines, emotional regulation, independence-building, and the importance of meeting each child where they are. I’m calm, patient, highly organized, and intentional about creating an environment where children feel safe, respected, and engaged. I also love language learning and cultural curiosity. I have studied Spanish, Italian, Chinese, and music, and I enjoy incorporating songs, conversation, reading, creative play, and age-appropriate learning into my time with children when families are interested. Professionally, I’ve worked closely with busy families, school communities, and executive leadership, so I understand the importance of trust, discretion, reliability, and clear communication. I’m especially comfortable with school-aged children and can support homework, reading, routines, creative activities, after-school transitions, bedtime, snacks/meals, and child-related tidying. I’m available for flexible evening and weekend babysitting, including date nights, occasional care, homework support, and family coverage. My goal is to provide care that feels warm, thoughtful, and dependable — so parents can feel fully at ease and children can feel genuinely cared for.
