Hi! My name is Amina, and I’m a reliable, patient babysitter with hands-on experience in daycare, kindergarten, and after-school programs here in Brooklyn. I’ve cared for children of different ages, helping with daily routines, playtime, meals, homework, and bedtime. I also have experience working with special needs children, including support with potty training and clothing changes, and I always prioritize patience and safety. In addition to babysitting, I’ve worked as an after-school instructor for 5th graders at EXCEL Inc. and as a tutor in English, Russian, and math, so I enjoy keeping kids engaged through fun, educational activities. I speak English, Russian, and Kazakh, and I’m comfortable working with families from diverse backgrounds. Parents describe me as calm, attentive, and trustworthy, and I always make sure children feel safe, supported, and cared for. I’d love to help your family ,whether for a date night, regular care, or extra support when needed.
Hi! My name is Sierra, and I am a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of The Arts Drama program (2024) with experience with caring for children from 1-10 years of age in the past. I’m now a professional actor and filmmaker on top of providing childcare. I have previously worked as a tour guide for my hometown's history museum which worked primarily with school groups. Thus, I have a lot of experience with large groups of elementary aged children. I have also performed children's theatre in the past. I am proud to be from a teaching family—with family members who work in the Department of Education in CA, public school teaching, and are professors at top universities around the world. Similarly, I have provided ACT and SAT English instruction in the past for high school students and scored a 34 in English and a 35 in Reading on the ACT. Including my theatre experience, I also speak Mandarin (intermediate). My hobbies include film photography, cooking (I was an apprentice at a two-star Michelin restaurant), hiking, exploring historical sites, and studying philosophy. I believe in the importance in helping nurture a child's empathy and their skills to later be a fully functioning adult. I believe that it is more important than ever for children to be able to express themselves and have someone to listen to them. I would be happy and honored to be someone who can help your child feel heard. I hope that in turn it would inspire them to be someone who reaches out to others as well.
I’ve helped care for my three nieces my whole life and have babysat for multiple families, both long- and short-term, since I was 14. I’m patient, loving, and compassionate, and I truly enjoy kids’ company. I’m a strong leader who’s fun while keeping your child safe, happy, and supported.
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.
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.
