Nicole $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Nicole (: I love connecting with people of all ages and am offering childcare, pet care, senior care and household services. Background & Approach: I bring a calm, patient, but firm presence, leading with compassion, curiosity, and communicating clear expectations. A teacher at heart, I believe structure provides safety and I encourage collaborative problem-solving. Over the last decade, I taught middle school for 6 years and worked with young children. My experience with infants includes caring for both of my nieces. Also, I have worked as a Direct Service Professional for young children and adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, in their homes and group homes, respectively. I am comfortable with travel, from school to home or extracurriculars and social outings. I enjoy facilitating play and exploring others' interests with them, eager to help develop their strengths if I can. I highly value modeling and teaching consent from an early age. Certifications: - Adult First Aid/CPR - Youth Mental Health Aid - Completed an end-of-life training/planning program as a death doula (with Alua Arthur, she is amazing!) and embrace discussing the things that make life both hard & beautiful. Pets: I grew up with animals, a Pomeranian mix and later a Pitbull mix (sadly, he was not friendly), so I am comfortable with various sizes, temperaments, and needs and often pet sit for family. I love cats, too and am a quick learner. Household Services: basic cooking & cleaning, washing dishes, sweeping, dusting, vacuuming, organizing, and in-home laundry. Currently, I spend my time supporting my sister and brother-in-law with childcare for my 2-month-old and 7-year-old nieces, and I am obsessed with them. <3 I enjoy playing cozy video games, learning coding and data analysis/visualization, listening to audiobooks, and practicing Filipino martial arts.

Sharice $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! - My name is Sharice, most call me Sha, and I'm currently a sophomore at the School of Visual Arts. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been caring for kids since I was 10 years old! Most of my experience has come from babysitting younger family members as I grew up in a big family and am the 4th oldest of 14 cousins! My responsibilities have included crafts, entertainment, pick-up and drop-off, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own 95 year-old grandma and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook and do many other tasks. Though I was raised in a pet-allergic household, I have been blessed without the allergy and am in love with furry friends!

Emily 1 review
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Emily. I grew up in New Hampshire and have lived in New York City for the past eight years. I have over 15 years of childcare experience, beginning with neighborhood babysitting when I was 11 and continuing throughout high school, college, and adulthood. By day, I work in clinical research at Mount Sinai Hospital, where I coordinate patient care and clinical trials. My work has taught me the importance of responsibility, communication, and creating a calm, supportive environment—qualities that I bring to childcare as well. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, and am comfortable supervising multiple children at once. Whether we’re doing crafts, playing outside, helping with homework, preparing meals, or winding down for bedtime, I strive to create a safe and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident. I am also comfortable caring for pets, have experience with overnight care, and can provide excellent references from families in both New York City and New England. I look forward to meeting your family!

Emily has babysat for us intermittently over the past 5 years for our two children (now 7 and 4 years old). Emily has always been one of our favorite babysitters! She has been extremely responsible, communicative, and our children adore her! She is also smart, kind, and lovely to work with.
