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.

Jennifer $25 per hour for 1 child

As an empty nester who raised three children of my own, I bring a level of 'mom intuition' and calm authority that only comes with decades of experience. I specialize in providing high-end, reliable care for families who need a seasoned professional they can trust immediately. My background is unique: I’ve supervised a world-renowned kids' club, taught a wide range of subjects, and have extensive experience working with foster youth. This means I am exceptionally adaptable, patient, and capable of managing any situation—from high-energy play to quiet routines—with ease. I am available for day-by-day, occasional, and last-minute bookings. Whether it’s a date night or backup care during a busy day, my goal is to provide your children with an engaging, safe, and positive environment so you can have total peace of mind while you're away. I am comfortable with all ages and look forward to meeting your family! I graduated from NYU and majored in psychology.

Booked by 3 families in Moonachie, NJ

Hello! My name is Maggie, and I am a new resident of NYC, moving from DC! I am a professional dancer, arts administrator, and teaching artist who is passionate about using dance and movement to heal, empower, and connect individuals & communities. I have been working with children of all ages & abilities in an educational capacity for almost 10 years now, mainly through dance education, after school programs, and academic enrichment. I have been teaching dance to children in various spaces and capacities (dance studio, community centers, elementary and middle schools, theaters, etc.) since I was 16 years old. In DC, I worked as an Aftercare Lead Artist, creating and facilitating academic and arts enrichment curriculum for children K-3. Additionally, I worked as a Lead Artist for Dance Exchange, teaching creative dance to intergenerational groups of people, including youths and their parents, grandparents, etc. I have plenty of experience working with older adults through creative aging programs. I am a certified Behavior Health Technician and have worked with children on the Autism spectrum, teaching academic and life skills, as well as creating engaging experiences for them to connect and express through dance! I have worked for years as a Lifeguard & Swim Instructor, so I have lots of experience when it comes to the safety and well-being of children of all ages. Finally, I have worked various jobs specifically in childcare and babysitting, mainly for family, friends, colleagues, and individuals in the dance community. I absolutely adore and respect children and consider myself an engaging, active, fun, personable, empathetic, calm, kind, and joyous person and caregiver. I very much believe in following the lead of the child - their interests, their passions, their curiosities. Child-led play and experiential learning show up in how I work with children in any and all capacities, including caregiving. We can read, work on homework, do arts and crafts, sing and dance, play outside, whatever the child would like to do and however I can help them grow, big or small! I am completely up-to-date on all vaccinations, including COVID-19 (boosters included). I am a native English speaker and can speak basic conversational Spanish. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions, and I look forward to hearing from you soon and meeting you and your wonderful kiddos!
