Lola $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Lola and I feel tremendous respect for children as they are so free and spontaneous; great teachers :) .. my experience is based on caring for my own son (now 21 years old); my niece and nephews (now 18-21 years old). I was a stay at home mom most of the time so I lived the experience by raising children and also being the recurring host for all their friends as well :). I helped them with homework and study for all school years, cooked and fed them; took care of all their needs and extra curricular activities; they are now in College and also hold each one high degrees in different fields like: black belt on MMA; college soccer; professional soccer; electric guitar player; artist (drawer/painter). I am very cautious and pay attention to detail; follow instructions; communicate well and in a timely manner. I also love music, dancing, playing, walking, going to the park; reading, baking :), blowing bubbles; help with school work. I am fluent in English and Spanish; I have a bachelors degree in Economics and I am also a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. I also own a dog myself :) his name is Cristiano and he is very happy and spoiled. Please fell free to ask about any questions or concerns that you may have :)

Siyan $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in South Ozone Park, NY

Hello! My name is Sienna. I’m a recent graduate from the UPenn and am an oncology nurse here in NYC. I work with the adult population in the hospital, but I’ve always loved working with kids. I was a babysitter for 2 years in high school, and I also worked in a children’s hospital throughout my time in undergrad. I’m attentive, detail oriented, patient, and especially love being playful with kids. I'm comfortable with a variety of tasks, from arts and crafts to tutoring to accompanying kids to their extracurriculars. I’m also an avid cook and baker outside of my full time job and would be more than happy to bring those skills to your family as well! On top of that, I am CPR certified and happy to provide care if your child has any medical needs. I am allergic to cats but am happy to work with families with dogs!

Booked by 1 family in South Ozone Park, NY

Experienced and enthusiastic babysitter based in New York with a strong background working with children in different settings. I’ve been a cheerleading coach, worked in sports programs for kids, and I’ve also been a children’s party entertainer, leading group games, fun activities, dance moments, and making balloon figures that always make kids smile. I’m a patient, warm, and caring person who truly enjoys making children feel happy, safe, and understood. I love creating activities that include dancing, arts and crafts, creative play, and little learning moments. I’m also happy to help with homework and keep routines calm and organized. I easily adapt to each family’s rules, and I always communicate with kindness and respect. I’m comfortable caring for children ages 4+, and I’m bilingual in English and Spanish. I’m available for occasional babysitting, date nights, last-minute help, and afternoon or evening shifts. I am very aware that childhood is the most important stage of a person’s life, and I am happy to contribute positively to it. I would love to support your family and your children’s growth with care, respect, and joy.
