Francesca $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi - I’m Francesca (I go by Chinaza though!) and I'm I’m an NYU Graduate, with a degree in Communications and a minor in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies! I am offering child care and household services. As an eldest daughter, I am very well versed in being a great babysitter and have been watching toddlers and kids (my little sister is currently 6 and my brother 18 so I am very well equipped for all that entails). My responsibilities have included commuting to/from school, anything artistic, and tutoring. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I’m not allergic to anything, and am happy to work with families with cats or dogs!

Booked by 1 family in South Richmond Hill, NY

Hi everyone! My name is Maren, I am a recent graduate from the Rhode Island School of Design where I received my MFA in illustration. Now I’ve relocated to Brooklyn with my fiance, and am starting a new chapter of life! I love kids, I taught dance to 15 elementary students for four years in high school, have two rambunctious cousins (7,11) at home who I take care of when I see them and grew up sitting from the age of 12. I love to bring activities, play, and just hear the crazy things kids say. I am a fantastic cook and quite the voice actor when it comes to picture books. Can’t wait to meet you!

Carly $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Carly. I am a preschool teacher living in Queens. I have a BFA in Fine Arts from Purchase College and a MSEd in Early Childhood Education from City College. I have about 10 years of experience working with children in a variety of ways including as a camp counselor, teacher, and babysitter. I love working with children and enjoy learning about their interests and gaining an understanding of their perspectives in the world. As a babysitter it is my goal to ensure the children feel secure and cared for, that their individuality is respected, to form a meaningful connection with them, and to be a valuable source of support in their lives as well as to their family.
