Eleni 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Rego Park, NY

Hi everyone- My name is Eleni and I’m a recent graduate from Syracuse University. I am offering childcare, household services, and dog care. I’ve been babysitting children 2 years old to 15 years old for over two years. I’ve helped with schoolwork (tutoring and projects) crafts, and helped with Spanish lessons. This last year while working my full time job I’ve assisted two families on the weekends during date night, or in the evenings on weekdays. However, I am actively looking to start a new position so please reach out! I have also dog-sited and house-sited before. 😊 •I can provide references! Please note the following: I am more than happy to complete a job that pays below my usual rate(s) if i apply for it.

“Last week, I booked Eleni to watch my 10 year old son and we were both immediately taken by her warmth and friendliness. She arrived early and was enthusiastic about who my child is and all of the things he's interested in. Eleni was a perfect solution to a last minute child care on a friday night. We will be happy to book again in the future :)”

Booked by 2 families in Rego Park, NY

Hello!! I have 12 years of childcare experience with 4 of those years spent as a full-time nanny and 1 of them as a house/nanny-manager. I have experience with children ages 3 months-13 years. I prioritize safety and love to be a hands on caretaker. My favorite activities with children include reading, arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, teaching dance (I'm a dance teacher!), and encouraging creativity through fun, engaging activities. I also have experience with household management, including running errands, meal prep and cooking, laundry, light housekeeping, dog walking, and home organization. I also have experience with morning roles in getting kids ready for school/daycare in addition to transport before and after school/camps. I am recently Red Cross CPR certified. I currently work at Paul Taylor Dance Company in the education sector. I have a bachelors degree in marketing from the University of Colorado Boulder Leeds School of Business. In my free time, I love to take dance classes, create art, play with my cat, thrift, and spend time exploring the city!

Olga $40 per hour for 1 child

My name is Olga, and I’m a dedicated and nurturing mother of three amazing teenagers, whom I’ve raised to be respectful, intelligent, kind, and independent. Parenting has been the most rewarding journey of my life, and it has shaped my deep passion for working with children. Through firsthand experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of children's emotional, social, and educational needs. I am fluent in English, Russian, Spanish, and Hebrew, which gives me the unique ability to communicate and connect with children and families from many different cultural backgrounds. I strongly believe that every child is unique and has incredible potential. I take great joy in helping children discover their strengths and talents, whether it’s through creative activities, academic support, or simply spending quality time together. I am an outgoing, energetic person who loves to plan fun and meaningful activities for kids. I enjoy taking children on nature hikes, organizing outdoor games, doing arts and crafts, reading stories, and engaging them in cooking and baking. I believe these hands-on experiences not only teach valuable life skills but also build confidence and creativity. Being responsible and dependable is something I take very seriously. As a parent myself, I know how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for children. I treat every child in my care as if they were my own—with kindness, patience, and respect. I bring not only my love for children but also my life experience, multilingual skills, and positive energy to everything I do. I am truly passionate about helping children grow into the best version of themselves.

Hana $30 per hour for 1 child

Media Professional Turned Early Childhood Educator | Thoughtful, Creative, and Engaging Caregiver Hi! I’m Hana—a media professional turned early childhood educator with over five years of childcare experience, from preschools to private families and social services. I’ve always been passionate about uplifting children, creating meaningful learning moments, and fostering a sense of curiosity and confidence in every child I work with. After several years at HBO, I decided to shift gears and step into the classroom. My goal? To gain firsthand experience in child development, bringing what I learn into the future of educational media and technology for good. But at my core, I simply love spending time with kids—encouraging their creativity, answering their big questions, and supporting their unique ways of learning and growing. As a sitter, I bring warmth, patience, and a deep respect for child and family.
