Meng New York
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Lodi, NJ

Hello! My name is Meng. I am an international student and have been living in New York for five years. I’m an energetic, cheerful person, and kids usually enjoy spending time with me. While I don’t have formal childcare experience, I’ve always gotten along very well with children and love interacting with them. In addition to that, I have three dogs and one cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets. I also enjoy cooking and have five years of experience preparing meals from different cuisines. I’m a careful and detail-oriented person, and I believe these qualities make me well-suited for childcare, pet care, and other caregiving tasks. I look forward to meeting your family!

Elizabeth New York
$24 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! My name is Elizabeth, and I am a warm, reliable, and creative caregiver with over 10 years of babysitting experience working with children of all ages. I graduated from the University of Notre Dame ('24) with a BA in History and Political Science, and I just recently completed a Master of Philosophy in History from the University of Cambridge in the UK this past summer! I started babysitting at the age of 12 and have since developed a strong ability to connect with kids, keep them engaged, and create a safe, positive environment. In addition to babysitting, I spent nearly 5 years as a gymnastics coach for children ranging from preschool through 8th grade. Being a coach enabled me to build patience, adaptability, and a knack for balancing fun with structure, whether that’s leading active play, helping with homework, or managing bedtime routines. I love planning creative and engaging activities like arts and crafts, outdoor games, and imaginative play, and I always aim to tailor my approach to each child’s personality and interests. I am more than happy to support educational activities as well. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide attentive, engaging care for your children!

Nueva York
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Lodi, NJ

Hi there! I'm Karina, a recent NYU graduate offering child and pet care! As the eldest in my family I've been working with kids since I was little and love to work with the PreK-12 age range. I also work as an after school lead tutor with the NYPL during the school year and can help that same age range with any homework subject. I can work with children individually or with as many as 5 kids at a time. I speak fluent Spanish and intermediate French. My goal with children is to inspire a love of learning and sense of wonder in the world around them and to do so through fostering curiosity, empathy, and a mutual sense of respect. Additionally, I'm often the first person my friends call up to petsit and am comfortable with cats and dogs, including those with medical needs.

"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!"
