Find a babysitter in New York, NY

I have a close relationship with the children in my family and have been involved in caretaking for my younger cousins since my years early in high school (14-15 years old). I've also been responsible for caretaking for my neighbor's dog regularly during the day from 9-7/8 PM and am very comfortable with dogs generally.

Hi – My name is Madeline and I’m a college graduate currently based in New York. I am offering child care, pet care, and household help. I love working with kids and have experience babysitting infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’m creative, patient, and love doing crafts, reading, and outdoor play. I’m also happy to help with homework or school pickups. I’ve supported busy families with cooking, organizing, errands, and light cleaning. I’m detail-oriented and love bringing calm to a busy home. I’m great with animals and have no allergies, so I'm happy to help with walks, feedings, and playtime.

Hi, my name is Lindsay and I'm a UC Berkeley graduate from Los Angeles, California who moved to NYC last May and currently works in advertising. I love babysitting and have experience independently watching kids as young as 1 and as old as 14. I worked as a summer camp counselor for multiple years where I was in charge of kids between the ages of 4 and 7. I've helped with homework, made food, changed diapers, and planned arts and crafts. I can also serve as a personal assistant and run any errands or help clean up. I grew up with dogs and would be comfortable helping take care of them as well.

I began working with children initially in 2011. I started as an assistant to a Taekwondo sensei (Now known as Johnny Karate on Court Street) when I was a junior black belt. From 2[removed] I worked in Kids Orbit After School Program based in Brooklyn New York, and their summer program Park Slope Day Camp where I worked for 3 summers (2 as a supervisor). Within those 3 years with Kids Orbit/PSDC, I was a Taekwondo Specialist, worked their after school program as a counselor, and worked in public elementary schools as a recess employee. During this timeframe I graduated from Brooklyn College with a Bachelors degree where I majored in psychology and Children and Youth Studies (3.94 GPA). I began babysitting for 1 family exclusively for 4 years from approximately 2014-2018 in Carroll Gardens. I worked with a 7 year old girl and 4 year old boy until they turned 11 and 8 respectively. In 2018, I had to leave that babysitting opportunity as I began working with the Administration for Children Services as a Child Protective Specialist (CPS) and their hours were demanding. I worked there until 2022. I have not worked with any children since 2022, but am now a State employee and I have over 11 years experience in the field. I am looking to pick up some part time hours, or 1 family I can work with consistently.

Hi! I'm a nurse who's currently looking for intermittent baby-sitting for date nights, errands, emergencies, etc. I've been a NICU nurse for 4 years and prior to that was a full time nanny for 5 years. I also babysat throughout most of middle school, high school, and parts of college. Most of my recent experience is from newborn to three years of age, but I do have experience with older children as well. I love infants and toddlers because they have such wonder and awe for the world around them and it's a special experience to watch and engage with their development and growth. I'm gentle, engaging, empathetic, and sympathetic in my care and avoid screen time when with the children. I love taking children to parks, museums, play dates, etc., but also just as happy to play games and read stories at home. I won't be able to have regularly scheduled gigs as my work schedule changes week by week, but would love to find a family or families to develop a longer term baby-sitting relationship with, as I feel continuity is better for both the children and the carers. I am also BLS and NRP certified. Thanks!
