Maggie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi I'm Maggie! I'm new to NYC but have nannied on and off throughout the last 8 years. My experience ranges from infants <6 months old to kids approaching teenage years. A little about me: I love to be outdoors, and love your go-to babysitter for fun, safe, and reliable care! I love helping families by creating a warm and engaging environment for their little ones. Whether it's reading stories, playing games, or outdoor adventures, I’m all about making sure kids are entertained while staying safe and happy. I’m CPR certified, and I'm comfortable with multiple children, pets, etc. I take pride in being punctual, responsible, and communicative. Parents love knowing that their children are in good hands, and I always make sure to keep the lines of communication open! I can provide a variety of services, from casual babysitting to regular weekly hours, and I’m also open to light housekeeping or meal prep if needed. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to discuss how I can help your family!

Haneen $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Haneen — a product designer with a background in architecture, and someone who has genuinely always loved being around kids. I grew up looking after younger siblings and cousins, and have helped out friends and family as a babysitter over the years, so I'm comfortable with the rhythms of caring for little ones even if it's not my full-time world. I'm creative by nature and training, and I'd love to bring that into time spent with kids, teaching them to draw, paint, work through a puzzle, or just make something fun with whatever's around. I speak Arabic fluently too, which kids tend to find pretty exciting. I'm available part-time and happy to work with most age groups, I don't have a specialty, but I'm attentive, patient, and good at reading what a kid needs in the moment. One small thing: I'm allergic to cats, so homes with cats aren't a great fit, but dogs are totally fine by me! If you're looking for someone reliable, warm, and a little creative to spend time with your kids, I'd love to connect.

Giada $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Giada, and I’m currently a sophomore at CUNY Hunter College studying Social Work. I’m planning to apply to the BSW program, and I’m especially interested in working in mental health and helping others. I’ve always loved babysitting, mostly because I had a babysitter growing up who I really loved and looked forward to spending time with. I’ve been working with children since I was around 14 and have experience caring for toddlers and older children. I’ve also volunteered and worked at a summer camp for young children, which gave me even more experience spending time with and caring for kids. I would describe myself as patient, responsible, and caring. I love being outside with kids when the weather is nice and getting involved in whatever activities they enjoy. I’m also comfortable helping with homework, cooking, and keeping children entertained. Outside of school and babysitting, I enjoy listening to music, reading, and spending time with my friends.
