Brianna $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Brianna. I live in Queens, and I am an educator on the Upper East Side. I have my Master's of Science in Teaching Early Childhood Education from Pace University. I have been teaching for 10 years; I currently work with older 2s, but have worked with 3s, Pre-K, and Kindergarten. I have extensive babysitting experience with a range of ages: from infants to middle schoolers. I enjoy taking kids to the playground, baking or cooking fun treats, and doing arts and crafts! In my spare time, I love staying active by doing yoga, cooking, and listening to music. Looking forward to talking with you!

Booked by 4 families in Sunnyside, NY

Hi! My name is Jessica, but I go by Jessi! I'm from Austin, Texas, but I'm attending school at Fordham College at Lincoln Center and studying Psychology! For many years, I have routinely worked with kids anywhere from ages 1 to 12 between my jobs as an assistant coach for a little league swim team, babysitter for families in my area, and a summer camp counselor. I am good with homework help, routines, and entertainment. I've always loved working with kids and pets, as I grew up with two sisters, a total of eight dogs, three ferrets, two guinea pigs, and one cat; not all at once of course.

Jessica is prompt and professional. She took great care of my three year-old and nine month-old daughters and they had so much fun with her. We hope she will babysit for us again soon!

Hello! I would describe myself as patient, friendly, understanding, reliable, and great with kids :) Feel free to ask for the contact info of my references! As of right now, I am the regular sitter for 4-year old & 10-month old sisters. I am seeking occasional/one-time jobs for when I have availability. I previously worked at Breindy Active Fitness. I would watch 2-8 kids at once, all under 3, and many were newborns. I have experience playing with children, calming them from tears, feeding them, changing diapers, reading with/to children, night-time & day-time routines, and more. In my senior year of high school I interned at the Jewish Community Center Day Care. I was a teacher aide for a classroom of 5 year olds. One of the kids had special needs. In high school, I was a part of a club that contained kids with autism and kids without autism. We did many different bonding activities together that exercised my capacity for patience and understanding. I raised with a dog and a cat in the house for over 12 years and consistently took care of them. I often dog sit/cat sit/house sit for my friends when they are on a trip. I grew up very active and played on the Volleyball, Swim, and Rugby Teams at school. I also danced ballet for 10+ years. I love arts & crafts and playing! Also my major was English Literature, so I love stories and reading.

Hi! I’m Izzy and I am currently a senior at NYU, originally from Colorado. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I absolutely adore kids and would definitely be a teacher in another life. I use to spend my summers teaching theater camps in my hometown, and was well known in the babysitting community there. I am CPR certified and know how to be fully present with children. I am athletic and love playing outside. I am also a singer and can play musical instruments, which the kids quite enjoy (anything Disney has always been a crowd pleaser!). I love animals and am most comfortable with dogs and cats! I am very tidy and organized, and love to help around the house. I also have a drivers license if needed and can help running errands when necessary. I grew up in a big family, so I learned how to be helpful at a very young age :)

Izzy has been babysitting for our family several times a week since April and she has been a godsend! While she primarily helps out with my 7 and 9 year old, she has also babysat my 3 year old on many occasions (and my 3 year never likes new people and somehow Izzy found a way to break in)! She is always on time and flexible (one time when my 7 year old was sent home sick, she came last min to help out). My girls absolutely adore her and my husband and I love her positive energy around our children. She is comfortable taking the kids around the city (walking/subways/ubers) and we trust her completely with our children. We honestly feel we hit the jackpot in finding Izzy. She has helped us out during the day and has quickly become our children’s favorite sitter to put them to bed as well. Highly recommend!
