Josephine $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Josephine. I'm originally from Portland, Oregon, but recently graduated from Boston College in May, and moved to New York City in June! I've been babysitting since middle school and have the most experience caring for toddlers and school-age children, though I'm happy to work with kids of any age. I'm incredibly responsible, organized, and dependable, and I always strive to create a safe and fun environment for the children I care for. In addition to childcare, I'm happy to help around the house with cooking, cleaning, laundry, dog walking, and other household tasks. I also speak French and a little Spanish, and I'm glad to help with homework or provide extra academic support when needed. A little about me: I love spending time outdoors, exploring New York, and visiting art museums. Whether we're doing crafts, playing outside, reading books, or helping with homework, I enjoy finding activities that keep kids engaged and having fun. I'd love the opportunity to meet your family and help however l can!

Booked by 1 family in Fair Haven, NJ

Hi - I’m Arionna! I’m a lawyer living in NYC. I am offering child care services, and am happy to take care of pets as well! In addition to my law degree, have an undergraduate degree in Psychology with a minor in Human and Social Development. I have been babysitting off and on since I was in high school and so I am comfortable balancing having fun and keeping kids engaged with making sure that parents’ instructions and schedules are followed. I’m happy to help with playtime and activities, homework, meals, bedtime routines, or simply keeping kids entertained while you’re away.

"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!"
