Caitlin $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, my name is Caitlin! I'm 24 and have been living in the city for the past two years, but am originally from Wisconsin. I went to university for Entertainment and Marketing, and now I work in Film and Television PR during the day, however I am looking to pick up more babysitting gigs as I just love being around kids! Growing up with three younger siblings and 14 younger cousins, I've always been surrounded by kids, so now that I live away from family, I'm missing that burst of joy. I've been a certified babysitting for 12 years (CPR certified, and Red Cross babysitting certified), and worked as a summer nanny for three summers during college. As far as age experience, I'm very comfortable with kiddos of all ages, from infants to teenagers, I love it all! Hanging out and playing with the kids I watch is always a joy, however their safety is always my number one priority! I'm so excited to meet you and am grateful you took the time to read my bio :)

Miranda $22 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting since I was 14years old and love kids! I volunteered in the nursery (ages 1 through 4) at my church all four years of high school. In addition, while in college I nannied for two years. I have continued to babysit post graduation as much as I can! I was an early learners tutor at Kumon and taught swimming to kids ages 2 and up. So in addition to Babysitting, I’m well equipped to help with homework and provide swimming lessons!

Kat $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kat! I’m 28 years old and based in Manhattan. I was born and raised in Manhattan and currently live in the financial district. I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology from George Washington University and am a former Division I athlete. These experiences have shaped the way I care for children, with an emphasis on patience, empathy and consistency. I have been nannying throughout my life, with my most recent position lasting four years. I worked part-time, five days a week, with a family of three children ages 6, 8, and 10, and became a steady, trusted presence in their daily lives. From helping with homework and daily routines to offering emotional support and encouragement, I truly enjoyed being part of their growth. The family has since relocated, and I am now excited to find a new family where I can build a similar long-term connection! In addition to childcare, I’m a music producer and songwriter, which allows me to bring creativity, joy, and calm energy into the home. I’m someone who leads with kindness, listens closely, and values creating a safe, supportive, and loving environment where children feel seen and cared for. I am currently open to either a full-time or part-time nanny position and would love the opportunity to become a dependable and caring support for your family.

I am a current Master's student at NYU silver school of social work looking for some part time babysitting opportunities.

Myleah 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child

My name is Myleah and I’m a 19 yo sophomore at NYU. I am so excited to work with you and your family! Child care is my passion, so any child in my care will be treated as so. I’ve been babysitting for 3 years and was a camp counselor in 2025. I have experience working with infants-14year olds, so I’m open to all! My favorite activity to do with children is play pretend, crafts, dancing, and singing! I’m also open to sports and cater to children’s special interests. I can help tutor, cook, paint, etc! I am CPR and First Aid Trained, as well as a mandated reporter.

We have had Myleah in our family a couple times and she’s been an amazing and reliable babysitter for us. My little ones love her. She arrives on time and asks many needed questions to give my kids the best care. She is dependent and trustworthy. In addition, my kids have great time with her and she even helps around the house and helps kids with homework. Overall very great.
