Booked by 1 family in Middletown, NJ

Hi! My name is Willow and I am a recent grad from NYU. I have some babysitting experience for other families in high school, but most of my experience is with my younger brother from the ages of 0-4. Responsibilities include running errands, outdoor time, crafting, cooking, cleaning the house, and bedtime. I am flexible, warm and patient. Right now I am working part time at Brooklinen, where much of my focus is on making sure people feel welcome. I love meeting new people, and work great one-on-one. Outside of customer service, my job is to maintain a clean and comfortable space. I am calm, flexible, and comfortable balancing interaction with organizational tasks. I also have dog and cat sitting experience. I have had pets my whole life- I love animals and am very comfortable with their care. I have experience with nannying for senior cats over an extended period, and am comfortable with feeding, changing litter, giving medication and playing. With my own dogs, I am comfortable walking them daily, and taking care of hygiene such as teeth brushing and hair brushing.

Lindsay $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Lindsay and I'm a UC Berkeley graduate from Los Angeles, California who moved to NYC last May and currently works in advertising. I love babysitting and have experience independently watching kids as young as 1 and as old as 14. I worked as a summer camp counselor for multiple years where I was in charge of kids between the ages of 4 and 7. I've helped with homework, made food, changed diapers, and planned arts and crafts. I can also serve as a personal assistant and run any errands or help clean up. I grew up with dogs and would be comfortable helping take care of them as well.

Olivia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia and I am currently a first year grad student at NYU. I have been a montessori preschool and kindergarten teacher for the past 5 years as well as a babysitter and nanny for much longer. In addition to that experience I have also been director of a summer camp for the past 4 years. I have worked with children ages 1 year to 12 years and love working with multiples (I currently work with three siblings). I can cook, clean, assist with homework, navigate travel to other activities, and I love playing games and doing crafts! I am very comfortable helping with animals and doing household chores and errands.

Nadhira 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have over 5 years of experience in preschool, after school settings with children varying from 2 to 17 years old. In home settings, I have provided childcare for more than 30 families with various needs from the ages of 9 months to 10 years old. Responsibilities included gentle wake ups or lengthy bedtime routines, preparing meals, travels to and from school or extra curricular activities, and more! I am also more than happy to assist with household chores and pet care! I have lived with and cared for both cats and dogs.

Nadhira is the kind of person kids naturally light up around. She’s been caring for my son since he was three—he’s eleven now—and his reaction to her has never changed. She’s kind, responsible, and genuinely attentive to what a child needs in the moment. Peace of mind matters to me, and I feel completely at ease when Nadhira is caring for my son.

Sophia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sophie and I’m currently living in Brooklyn. I am looking to become a babysitter for some lovely families in NYC. I have over 10 years of combined child work experience, as well as petsitting of all kinds of animals. I was a regular babysitter during middle & high school, with kids ranging from a few months old to 12 years old. My college & post grad experience with children includes substitute teaching, summer camp counseling, and more. I am comfortable with children of all ages and get along with them excellently. I love to take the time to truly get to know the children and take interest in their passions. Additionally, I am comfortable picking children up from/dropping off at events or school, running errands, taking them exploring, cooking dinner, cleaning, and more. I also am able to petsit for all kinds of animals in your household. I would love to watch your children while you work late, go out for date night, or just take a break! I am new to this site, but my child work experience goes back years and I am a very skilled caretaker. Take a chance on me!

"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!"
