Hello! My name is Clara, and I'm currently staying in the NYC area for the fall semester completing an art residency. I am offering child care, animal care, and help with household tasks. I am open to caring for children 3+ years. I usually work part-time at a youth art nonprofit teaching kids 18 months to 12 years of age, and I have also worked with kids as a martial arts instructor and academic tutor. I enjoy spending time with kids making art, reading books, playing music or sports, and cooking together. I come from a big family, but do not have children myself yet! I have helped many of my friends raise wonderful kids over the years. I am comfortable transporting children between school, scheduled activities, and the home. I am CPR and first aid certified through the American Heart Association. For pets, I am open to leash trained dogs up to 100 pounds, all cats, rabbits and other small mammals, ferrets, and reptiles. I am open to puppies and kittens but would prefer to discuss first! In college, I worked several jobs in animal care including vet assisting, dog walking/training, and exotic animal adoption. I am trained in animal first aid and comfortable administering medication including subcutaneous injections. I am also available for errands including cooking, cleaning, shopping, and household management. I am a great cook, home baker, very organized, and a pro at budgeting. I do not have a car while staying in the city but am happy to do errands via public transit. I have a clean driving record if using your car is something that is necessary. I like to say that I am a jack of all trades because I am willing to try anything, and if I like it, I won't stop until I improve. I would like to use my skills to help make your day feel a little easier!
Hi! My name is Abeer, and I’m currently an Optician student at City Tech. I’m offering reliable and caring childcare services. I’ve been babysitting since middle school and genuinely enjoy spending time with children. As a single mom myself, I understand the joys and challenges that come with caring for kids and keeping them happy, safe, and engaged throughout the day. I enjoy cooking, tutoring, and doing fun arts and crafts activities with children. I also have a valid driver’s license and can assist with transportation if needed. I’d love the opportunity to provide a safe, caring, and enjoyable environment for your little ones! 😊
Hi – My name is Chrystal, and I offer child care services. I have about 3 years of experience working with children with autism and various backgrounds in the classroom setting. I genuinely enjoy working with kids and aim to create a safe, warm, and engaging environment where they feel comfortable and supported. I enjoy photography and engaging in creative activities such as arts and crafts, games, etc. I also drive and am happy to help with school pickups and activities as needed. Please note that I’m allergic to cats and have a fear of large dogs, so I prefer pet-free homes or those where pets are secured.
Hello! My name is Reem, and I am an experienced childcare provider with a background in nursing and education. I come from a big family and have always been around children, including helping care for my siblings’ children. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing and have experience working as a School Nurse in Morocco and as a Teaching Assistant in the UK, supporting children of different ages. I am patient, responsible, and passionate about creating a safe, caring, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I can help with playtime, educational activities, reading, homework support, meal preparation, daily routines, and providing attentive care. I am currently preparing for the NCLEX-RN exam, the licensing exam required to become a registered nurse in the United States, and I am looking for a part-time babysitting or nanny position caring for one or two children in Bayonne, Jersey City, Newport, Hoboken, or nearby areas accessible by public transportation. I speak three languages: English, French, and Arabic. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide reliable, caring childcare.
Hi - my name is Kristy, and I am a retired-teacher turned lawyer who is offering childcare, pet care, and/or tutoring services I love kids and have a lot of experience babysitting and tutoring.

"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!"
