Katrina 2 reviews
$29 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Katrina. I’ve been the go-to babysitter for my family and friends for many years, caring for children from 5 months to 9 years old since I was a teen. Working with kids has always come naturally to me, and I bring patience, structure, and a genuine love for what I do. I’m currently a Paraprofessional with the NYC Board of Education, in the Williamsburg neighborhood, where I work one-on-one with children in special education, including students with ADHD, autism, developmental delays, and speech disorders. I’ve supported preschool, kindergarten, first grade, second grade and Pre-K learners in a public school in Williamsburg. This gives me experience in behavior support, sensory needs, communication strategies, and helping children feel safe and understood. With me, your child will enjoy fun, engaging, and purposeful activities such as: • singing songs and movement games • days of the week & months routines • coloring, crafts, and hands-on activities • counting games and early learning skills • music, dancing, and story time • simple baking or kitchen fun (I’m a baking & pastry graduate!) My approach blends fun with structure, keeping children entertained while following their routines and respecting their individual needs. ✨ Availability: pickup, Summer days, occasional weekends, and DOE days off ✨ I’d love the opportunity to support your family and create a warm, safe, and joyful experience for your child.

Katrina has been an amazing sitter to our two kids (and dog!) for many years. She's so sweet, very reliable, engaging and fun with the kids. She's thoughtful and comes up with fun activities, the kids love her and we consider her family. She is bright, warm and tidy.

Morgan $20 per hour for 1 child

While this would be my first time baby sitting officially, I have a strong background in working with children through my experience as a student athlete over the past four years, where I engaged with kids in various settings such as camps and after games. My time in these roles has honed my patience and understanding, qualities that are important for caregiving. Additionally, growing up with my mother, a neonatologist in the NICU, has given me invaluable insights into infant care and a deep appreciation for working with babies. I have often gone with my mother to her work, which has made me even more passionate about caring for young children and has given me hands-on experience. These experiences make me well-qualified to be a reliable and caring babysitter.

Maya $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi- My name is Maya and I am currently a junior at NYU. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I have always loved being a babysitter and spending time with kids and have taken care of mostly 4 year olds and older and a 1 year old since being in high school. I also worked as a summer camp counselor for 3 years with loads of different aged children. I also tutored young children in high school and have worked with high school children since being in college. A fun fact about me is I am fluent in French if any children happen to be needing language help. I am mostly looking for childcare opportunities as I absolutely adore looking after children and watching them grow and experience all the energy and joy they have to offer. I am a responsible, attentive, and energetic caretaker, am very patient when need be, and will be able to communicate with children and parents about anything that may come up. I can also work as a household assistant and can run errands, as well as love caring for all sorts of animals and would also be interested in pet care services. *I will be out of town June 19-29 my schedule is very clear and flexible before and after that

"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!"
