Melissa New York
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Melissa, a 27 year old longtime babysitter, newly back in the U.S. after three years in London. I’ve been babysitting for over 10 years, with experience ranging from toddlers to early teens. I first became the go-to sitter in my neighborhood growing up in Philadelphia, and word quickly spread - my parents’ coworkers started calling on me too! Over the years, I’ve also taken on pet-sitting duties for both dogs and cats, sometimes for a few days and other times for several weeks at a time. I’m responsible, communicative, and deeply respectful of the routines and values that matter to each family. Whether it’s about technology rules, food habits, learning styles, or anything else, I believe it’s important to honor the tone and philosophy of the household I’m stepping into. Outside of babysitting, I’m a young professional who recently moved back from London to pursue a career pivot from a finance job into music (one of my lifelong passions). I am also currently getting ready to move into my first solo apartment (big milestone!), and I’m looking to make some extra income doing something I genuinely love: supporting families and spending time with kids. If you’re looking for someone warm, reliable, and adaptable with a global perspective (and a big appetite for fun!) I’d love to connect.

Daniela New York
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Daniela and I am a 22-year-old ballerina and model in New York City. I absolutely adore spending time with children and have a history of working with kids as an assistant ballet teacher for children aged 4-10. My responsibilities include transport, childcare, and light household tasks as needed. Aside from my career as a freelance ballerina and model, I am studying Communications online through Arizona State University. I have a great passion for literature and film, and also love to practice yoga and pilates in my free time. My mother is from Brazil, so I am bilingual speaking both English and Portuguese. I look forward to meeting you!
