Hi there! I'm Eliza. I'm a musician who is looking for additional caregiving work to fill in the gaps. I have over 5 years of experience working with young children in both school and after-school program settings.

Eliza is the most responsible and sweet pet sitter! They took such good care of my cat and they will be my top pick to catsit in the future! So communicative, reliable, consistent and my kitty had so much fun!

Morgan $20 per hour for 1 child

While this would be my first time baby sitting officially, I have a strong background in working with children through my experience as a student athlete over the past four years, where I engaged with kids in various settings such as camps and after games. My time in these roles has honed my patience and understanding, qualities that are important for caregiving. Additionally, growing up with my mother, a neonatologist in the NICU, has given me invaluable insights into infant care and a deep appreciation for working with babies. I have often gone with my mother to her work, which has made me even more passionate about caring for young children and has given me hands-on experience. These experiences make me well-qualified to be a reliable and caring babysitter.

Nicole $21 per hour for 1 child

Experienced and reliable 21-year-old babysitter with over five years of hands-on childcare experience. From a young age, I’ve been the go-to babysitter for family, friends, and neighbors, caring for children of all ages. I officially started babysitting at 16 and have since worked extensively with pre-school and elementary-aged kids, providing attentive, engaging, and nurturing care. Whether helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or ensuring a smooth bedtime routine, I strive to create a safe and enjoyable environment for every child I look after. Currently a senior at Adelphi University, I will be starting dental school at the end of the summer. I have my own car for reliable transportation, making pick-ups, drop-offs, and last-minute scheduling easy. I’m fluent in both English and Russian and also comfortable around pets, as I have two dogs of my own. My experience, patience, and genuine love for working with children make me a dependable choice for any family in need of a caring and responsible babysitter.
