Sofia $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sofia, and I recently graduated from Syracuse University with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition Science and Biology. I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Human Nutrition at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, with plans to attend medical school in the next two years. I have a strong passion for women’s health and preventative medicine, and I truly enjoy caring for and supporting others. Beyond academics, I’ve grown up in a large family surrounded by children, which made babysitting second nature to me. I have years of babysitting experience throughout high school and college, and nothing brings me more joy than spending time with kids and supporting them through their most important developmental years. I am CPR certified, trained in emergency healthcare, and fluent in Spanish as a dual citizen of Spain. In my free time, I love dancing, taking long walks, spending time outdoors, traveling, and exploring new restaurants and coffee shops. I look forward to bringing energy, responsibility, and warmth to the families I work with!

$23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Passaic, NJ

Hi there! My name is Janett, and I’m a proud graduate of Lehman College with a degree in Recreational Therapy and a minor in Art. I bring creativity, compassion, and reliability into every role I take on. I provide child care, senior care, and household support and I truly love what I do. I’ve been caring for children since I was 19, from newborns to school aged kids. My experience includes school pick ups and drop offs, tutoring, arts and crafts, dancing, and creating fun, engaging activities that help kids learn and grow. Parents trust me because I’m responsible, patient, and always focused on making sure children feel safe and supported. I also have extensive experience caring for seniors. I was a caregiver for my grandmother and worked in several assisted living facilities and nursing homes, where I learned the importance of dignity, empathy, and reliability in senior care. On top of that, I can help with day to day household needs. I cook, clean, run errands, and am an expert at navigating the MTA. I’m known for being punctual, organized, and a strong problem solver. I’m also very pet friendly! Having lived with four dogs and a cat at once, I’m comfortable caring for animals alongside my other responsibilities. If you’re looking for someone dependable, warm, and versatile, I’d love to bring my skills and passion to support your family’s needs.

Janett was great. She helped out in a pinch and my two kids enjoyed her and asked if she could sit for us again.

Booked by 3 families in Passaic, NJ

Hi, I'm Sydney! I moved to NYC to be an actor and found myself working in several settings with children, including performing in the Bluey X CAMP experience downtown and acting as costume designer/childcare assistant for 3 shows with the Children's Acting Academy. I have several years of experience providing childcare for ages 0-13, and would love to get to know you and your little ones. Because of my background in theatre, I have all kinds of ideas on ways to have fun! I'm also happy to help around the house in any way you may need.

Sydney was punctual, easy to communicate with and wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again

Emily $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Emily! I work at an art gallery in Chelsea and am looking to take a part time babysitting gig in the mornings or late afternoons. I've been babysitting since I was 14 and worked as a youth dance teacher for 6 years. I'm comfortable with kids of all ages including infants and have worked with families with as many as 5 kids under 12! My responsibilities have included school drop off/pick up, making meals, helping with homework, and coming up with activities to keep everyone entertained and happy. I love animals of all kind and am happy to assist with any housework.

Iman $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Eman. I have extensive hands-on caregiving experience, having helped raise several children in my family from infancy through adolescence. The youngest is 7, and the oldest will be graduating college in the next few years (I still can't believe it!). Being closely involved in their lives has given me a strong, intuitive understanding of children at every stage. I also have some professional childcare experience from my time at KinderCare, but I thrive most in one-on-one or small-family settings where I can give children my full attention. I’m patient, nurturing, attentive, and genuinely love working with kids—especially toddlers. I’m comfortable with diapers, bottle feeding, and nap routines (may need a short adjustment period if caring for infants). Homework help, reading, and bedtime routines are truly my jam. I enjoy preparing meals or snacks for children and don’t mind tidying toys or children’s spaces, but I focus strictly on childcare and not general household help. I’m fluent in multiple languages and am happy to help with language exposure if parents are interested. I respect family routines, boundaries, and parenting styles, and value clear, open communication. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages and available for date nights or occasional care during off-hours. I also have experience providing companionship for seniors through listening and quality time. I’m comfortable working in homes with calm, small pets after meeting them, but not large or high-energy animals. Caring for children is more than a job to me—it’s a calling, and I approach every family with responsibility, heart, and genuine care. A little bit about me personally, I studied fashion design and am a dress maker by trade. I love arts and crafts since I was a toddler and am happy to share some of my crafting activities with kids or even parents. I'm trying to be more fit and active and am into indoor rock climbing and orange theory. If anyone has recommendations for good OT coaches, I'm all ears :). Hosting is second nature to me and my family, so recently I started a luxury picnic and party decorating business, which thankfully has been going well. Right now it's the off season so I'm looking to fill the gap with some nannying roles.
