Booked by 12 families in Woodhaven, NY

Hello my name is Samara! I have over 10+ years of experience babysitting toddlers to teens. I have special experience babysitting children with ADD and ADHD. I was a volunteer at The Ronald McDonald House and completed 100 hours of community service. One of my main task was to assist in the operations of Kids Club where I organized educational and artistic activities as well as interactive games for kids in the club. I also volunteered for a program that aimed to empower young women ages 11-14. The program focused on their social and emotional development and events were tailored to enhancing academic skill, promoting self-esteem and community service and encouraging personal growth. Fun fact: I am artistic and a bookworm. I love to paint, draw, and explore New York!

So great with the littles! Was attentive, kind, asks great questions, very proactive and thinks ahead with tasks. Very grateful for her help today and would recommend.

Booked by 22 families in Woodhaven, NY

Hello, I'm Gina and I’m so excited to work with you! I’m a graduate of NYU where I received my Masters of Music in Vocal Performance (musical theatre). I’ve received in person guided and hands on training/instruction and certification in both adult and infant First Aid and CPR. I’m the middle child of three children, and one of 22 grandchildren in my family so I am very accustomed to being surrounded by young children running around! My mother has worked as an early childhood educator/administrator my entire life. Many of the tactics she utilized in her classroom were the same ones she used raising my siblings and I. I’ve learned much of what I use in childcare from her, including helping the young ones with their coursework! I worked as a sitter in the Chicagoland area before moving here to NYC for school and am now looking for new families to work with. Hope to connect soon!

Booked by 20 families in Woodhaven, NY

Hello! I have worked with families with newborns to preteens and as an educator with students from 2nd grade to 12th grade over the past 9 years. I’ve created steam and art programs for all ages, from toddlers to teenagers, that engage a diversity of learners. I’m especially interested in organizing non-screen related activities. Currently I am an artist with flexible hours. I'm available for household services, as well. I love cooking, art and the outdoors! Note: any shift over 8 hours will have an additional overtime fee (multi-day commitments excluded)

Hana was patient, caring, and good with my twin girls. She keeps them engaged, entertained, and delighted throughout the day. I highly recommend her!
