Sarah $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sarah, I’m an LA-raised NYC dweller and lover of kids. As the oldest of 7 close cousins, I’ve been babysitting pretty much since I could hold a bottle. After moving to New York for school, I majored in Creative Writing and minored in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies. I have babysat for a few families in the city (some for several years) for kids ranging in age from 18 months to 12 years. I’m seasoned in putting restless toddlers to bed, whipping up fun arts and crafts and making excellent after school snacks!

I am a dedicated, intentional, fun and gentle personality with a deep love for children and a passion in serving and caring for others. In my blended family of four siblings , I am the eldest of three so my caregiving familiarity spans almost my entire life. Professionally, I have 4 years experience caring for little to medium humans from ages 1-16 in various roles like an after school teacher and summer camp counselor. From homework help to fun engaging activities to genuine joy in care, I'm there! Ready and eager to serve. I am also available for house and pet-sitting!

Adeline $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Adeline, and I am a college student from Minnesota! I recently graduated high school in 2023, and I am in my second year of attending college in New York! Fun fact: I am a film student! I have 8 years of babysitting experience, and about 4 years of pet sitting experience. I have babysat several different families in Minnesota, with the kids ages ranging from 2 years to 13 years old. Apart from babysitting, I have also worked as student director for 7 youth musical productions! I have also pet sit for several different families in Minnesota, pets ages ranging from 6 months to 14 years old, both cats and dogs! I love doing karaoke, playing board games, going to parks, taking dogs for walks, exploring museums, and watching movies! Babysitting and dog sitting are the best because I can do all my favorite things while working! But, I am always open to learn new fun activities, games and hobbies your kids or pets might be interested in!

Lillie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Lillie, a college student here in the city! I am offering many services from pet care and childcare to cleaning and household tasks! I have previously worked multiple customer service jobs which have required communicating with people of all ages. One of these jobs was at a bakery where my responsibilities also included a lot of cleaning and organizing. I have younger cousins and neighbors who I have babysat from time to time, and have spent the past two summers caring for my elderly grandmother. This care (for either/and children and the elderly) has included reading and writing, word and board games, and cooking and cleaning. As far as pets go, I have had dogs, cats, and rabbits my whole life, as well as petsit for friends and family.
