Maria $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maria, I just graduated from AMDA here in New York and I am offering child care services! I have been working with children since I was 13. I have babysat children from the ages of infant to 10 years old since I was 15. I volunteered for three years in an a third grade classroom working with students once a week. I also have music directed elementary school plays, and helped the children with their projects. I love kids. They’re such a joy and I love to be able to work with them. I also love animals and I’m comfortable with working/helping care for them while caring for kids. I am also able to cook and clean. I’m very comfortable in the kitchen and with keeping things tidy.

Anya $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Anya! I’m a New York City native offering child care, dog-sitting, and house-sitting services across the city. I know every neighborhood and train line like the back of my hand! I hold a BFA with a minor in Business Marketing and currently work a corporate 9-to-5, but I’ve always loved caring for kids. I babysat throughout college and grew up as the eldest of two younger brothers. I also frequently babysit my 12-year-old niece. I work in digital media, so I know all about the latest kid trends - huge fan of K Pop Demon Hunters! I’m responsible, creative, and patient, and I love keeping kids engaged with fun activities like art projects, games, or chess. I cook healthy meals, speak two languages, and am great with dogs (but allergic to cats). I also played volleyball throughout high school, so I'm familiar with sports and a huge advocate for fitness. Also happy to help with homework! I excelled at math, English, and history. Reliable, nurturing, and upbeat. I live in the city, so open to last-minute babysitting needs!

Emma $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Emma. I’m currently completing my master’s in social work at Columbia. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 and have experience with children ages 1–11. Through my work and as an older sister, I’ve developed a genuine love for caring for kids. I enjoy spending time outdoors and reading, and I love encouraging the kids I work with to explore those activities too. I’m always happy to help with homework. I’m also comfortable with pets and am happy to help with household responsibilities!

Michelle $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Michelle Rios, I’m 21 years old and currently a student at Fordham University in New York City. I was born in Boston and raised in Colombia, and I speak both English and Spanish fluently. I have been babysitting since high school and have experience caring for children ranging from infants who require diaper changes and feeding routines to children around 7 years old. I also have experience babysitting for families in NYC with children ages 1–7. In addition to babysitting, I have helped children with reading, writing, and schoolwork through tutoring and daycare-related activities. I genuinely love working with kids and creating a safe, caring, and engaging environment for them. I’m very patient, responsible, organized, and energetic, and I always aim to make children feel comfortable and supported. I also love cooking and baking, and I’m happy to help families however I can. Families would describe me as dependable, warm, and trustworthy, and I always treat every child with care and attention as if they were my own family.
