I started babysitting at 14 and have worked in childcare since then. I worked at a summer camp for five years, and have also have been a full time swim instructor for children ages 2-12.

Paige $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Middletown, NJ

Hi! I'm a nurse who's currently looking for intermittent baby-sitting for date nights, errands, emergencies, etc. I've been a NICU nurse for 4 years and prior to that was a full time nanny for 5 years. I also babysat throughout most of middle school, high school, and parts of college. Most of my recent experience is from newborn to three years of age, but I do have experience with older children as well. I love infants and toddlers because they have such wonder and awe for the world around them and it's a special experience to watch and engage with their development and growth. I'm gentle, engaging, empathetic, and sympathetic in my care and avoid screen time when with the children. I love taking children to parks, museums, play dates, etc., but also just as happy to play games and read stories at home. I won't be able to have regularly scheduled gigs as my work schedule changes week by week, but would love to find a family or families to develop a longer term baby-sitting relationship with, as I feel continuity is better for both the children and the carers. I am also BLS and NRP certified. Thanks!

Yaritza $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Yaritza, and I’m currently a sophomore at NYU. I’ve had hands-on childcare experience since I was 14, caring for my nieces, which helped me develop a genuine love for working with children. I’m comfortable picking children up from daycare or school, assisting with homework, and engaging them in fun and age-appropriate activities. I’m also happy to help with light cleaning and running errands when needed.

Idil $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Idil! I’m a recent Amherst College graduate and just moved back home to NYC (Bushwick). I’m looking for part time work while I study for the LSAT! I have plenty of babysitting (including multiple kids at once) and pet sitting experience! I love kids of all ages and pets of every kind. I’m always reliable, fun, communicative, and flexible! Happy to help out with errands, meal prep, and chores as needed. I also have a driver’s license, CPR+AED+ First Aid certification, and am extremely familiar with all NYC public transportation. I’m a massive geek at heart with a huge variety of interests and will very easily find something to bond with your kids over!

Chloe $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Chloe, and I’m an incoming medical student with a passion for working with children. I currently work at a fertility clinic and am looking for part-time opportunities before starting medical school this August. I’m Basic Life Support (BLS) certified and have experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve also been tutoring for many years and am happy to help with homework, studying, and academic support. In addition, I previously worked at a museum of science, where I taught science concepts to children ages 5 and under! I love to cook and am completely comfortable preparing meals, whether it’s simple snacks or full dinners. (Bonus! I played college lacrosse and have coached on the side and if any of your kids are interested in lacrosse, I would be happy to play with them and coach!) I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I always strive to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment for kids. I would love the opportunity to connect and help care for your little ones!
