Hi, my name is Kimberly. I’ve been babysitting for a while now I started off babysitting my nephew when I was young. I loved it so much I started looking into more babysitting jobs and I now have more than 2 years of experience. I also love doing other chores such as laundry and mild cleaning. I love cooking especially some shrimp alfredo pasta yumm! I love making snacks for the kids and creating fun activities for them. Especially art activities and baking with them! I have experience walking dogs as well. I love pets a lot and look forward to seeing families with their fur babies :)

Booked by 1 family in East Rutherford, NJ

Hello! A New York resident of 3+ years, I have recently pivoted from working a full time administrative job at a finance firm to doing freelance producing work in the New York theatre scene. I have always loved working with kids and have full confidence in my ability to provide high quality, creative, fun, and safe care for children. I recently renewed my CPR certification (2025) and have cared for children from 15 months to preteens. Happy to do light housework and cooking as well. Please let me know if you have any questions, I'd be happy to chat!

Eliza was a delight. She had a great manner with my 16 month old and was easy to work with.

Hi! My name is Gracie, and I’m a current law student at Harvard University and a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin–Madison. This summer I have an internship in the city and lots of free time compared to the school year! I have over nine years of babysitting experience, plus a lifetime of practice as the oldest sibling (my little sister is ten years younger than me!). I’ve truly grown up around children and care for every child as if they were my own younger sister. I love playing dress-up, building fairy houses, kicking a soccer ball around, reading stories, and spending time at the park. I’d love to meet your family and look forward to connecting!

Great communicator, reliable, and punctual! All you could want from a sitter.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
