Nicole New York
$21 per hour for 1 child

Experienced and reliable 21-year-old babysitter with over five years of hands-on childcare experience. From a young age, I’ve been the go-to babysitter for family, friends, and neighbors, caring for children of all ages. I officially started babysitting at 16 and have since worked extensively with pre-school and elementary-aged kids, providing attentive, engaging, and nurturing care. Whether helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or ensuring a smooth bedtime routine, I strive to create a safe and enjoyable environment for every child I look after. Currently a senior at Adelphi University, I will be starting dental school at the end of the summer. I have my own car for reliable transportation, making pick-ups, drop-offs, and last-minute scheduling easy. I’m fluent in both English and Russian and also comfortable around pets, as I have two dogs of my own. My experience, patience, and genuine love for working with children make me a dependable choice for any family in need of a caring and responsible babysitter.
