Myra $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Myra, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter with over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience helping raise my younger siblings from infancy through childhood. I’m very comfortable with daily routines such as feeding, diapering, naps, bedtime, homework help, and supervising multiple children. I’m patient, calm, and safety-focused, and I do my best to create a positive, supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also organized, attentive, and respectful of each family’s routines and preferences. I understand how important trust is when choosing a caregiver, and I take that responsibility seriously while making sure children feel happy, engaged, and safe

I'm a current college senior studying Psychology with a focus on becoming an advocate for children. I have 3 years of experience as a babysitter and as a preschool teacher. I previously worked as a preschool teacher for children ages 2-4 1/2. I also created daily itineraries for our aftercare and summer program for kids ages 6 to 13 years old. I am First Aid + CPR certified. I frequently volunteer with my local elementary/middle school for a program that promotes reading amount young kids and fostering a love of books. I frequently babysit in New York and am very familiar with the city. I have babysat in the city before including taking kids to museums/parks. I love creating fun and creative learning opportunities for children and being silly with them, and allowing them to express themselves in fun and creative ways! :) Feel free to reach out with questions or for references!

She responded very quickly to my messages, which made me feel at ease. My son warmed up to her right away and they had a great time together.

amirah $20 per hour for 1 child

I have a strong background in caregiving that began in my high school years, where I regularly babysat for families in my community. As the second oldest of six girls, I grew up helping care for my five younger sisters, so nurturing, guiding, and supporting children has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable with kids of all ages and understand how to keep them engaged, safe, and cared for. I also have plenty of experience with pets. I grew up with two dogs at my mom’s house and now have one of my own, so I’m very familiar with feeding, walking, and giving animals the attention they need. In addition to childcare and pet care, I’m highly organized and maintain a clean, tidy space. I’m able to help with light housekeeping, daily routines, and anything that keeps a home running smoothly. Overall, I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy supporting families. My mix of experience, personality, and hands-on caregiving makes me a reliable and trustworthy helper.

Hi! My name is Nicole, and I’m a responsible, caring, and sweet person who truly enjoys spending time with children and pets. I have 2–3 years of experience caring for kids between 1 and 7 years old. I love creating safe, happy, and loving environments where kids can learn and have fun. Some of my favorite activities to do with children are arts and crafts, reading stories, dancing, and outdoor games. I’m patient, respectful, and always make sure the children feel comfortable and cared for. In addition to babysitting, I also enjoy pet sitting — I love dogs and feel very comfortable taking care of them, whether it’s walking, feeding, or playing.
