Sanaa $20 per hour for 1 child

As an experienced and dedicated babysitter, I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care and support to the children under my supervision. I have always had a passion for working with children and have spent the past 6 years honing my skills and knowledge in childcare. During this time, I have had the opportunity to work with children of various ages, ranging from infants to pre-teens. This diverse experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of the unique needs and developmental stages of children. My approach to babysitting centers around creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children. I prioritize their well-being and strive to foster their physical, intellectual, and emotional growth. I am adept at preparing nutritious meals and snacks, organizing educational activities, assisting with homework, and coordinating recreational outings. In addition to my practical skills, I am certified in pediatric first aid and CPR, ensuring that I can respond effectively in emergency situations. I possess excellent communication skills, allowing me to establish strong relationships with both children and parents. I believe in maintaining open lines of communication and working collaboratively with parents to ensure their child's needs are met. I am confident that my compassionate nature, patience, and ability to remain calm under pressure make me a reliable and trustworthy caregiver. I take my responsibilities seriously and genuinely enjoy engaging with children, helping them learn and grow while keeping their safety and happiness at the forefront.

Donna $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Donna. I’m a warm, patient, and creative person who genuinely loves spending time with kids. I’m an aunt to a 7- and 9-year-old, and we spend our time doing arts and crafts, learning piano, and having real conversations — I always talk to kids like they’re people with their own thoughts, and they respond so well to that. I’ve also worked with children from preschool through high school at a tutoring company in San Diego, supporting them with everything from math to social studies. In my career as a producer, I’m extremely responsible and detail-oriented, so routines, safety, and clear communication come naturally to me. I’m great at planning engaging, screen-free activities and creating a calm, fun environment. I’ve cared for animals for years too — five years of hamsters and even fostering a puppy — so I’m comfortable with pets. Most importantly, I truly value these experiences because I hope to adopt children of my own someday. Spending time with kids brings me joy, and I take the responsibility seriously. Overall, I’m reliable, kind, and easy to work with. I’d love to support your family however I can.

Maddie $25 per hour for 1 child

A little bit about me— my name is Maddie and I am 24 years old living on the Upper East Side. I am a full-time data analyst for the National Hockey League. I’ve played sports my entire life and continued to play club lacrosse through college. When I’m not working or being active, I absolutely love cooking! I have over 10 years of experience with children of all ages and needs. I have cared for infants, middle schoolers, and volunteered at special needs camps and after school programs. Some of my responsibilities have included: cooking, running errands, house chores, homework, zoo trips, science experiences, and (my personal favorite) pillow forts. Also, I am very pet-friendly (my family just got a puppy named Robin). I’m looking forward to getting to know your family!

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Teaneck, NJ

Hi! My name is Lourdes, I am looking for one time + part time babysitting gigs for now - onward. Happy to discuss my available hours! Since September 2021, I have experience with kids from 3 months - 14 years old. I also have extensive experience with pet + house sitting (cats and dogs). For my longest term gig, from December 2021 - February 2023 I was a part-time nanny for a family in the West Village with 3 children (ages 6-12) and supported with tasks such as school pick up, meal prep, bedtime, packing, homework assistance, emotional support, ubering around, light housekeeping, and traveled with them internationally. Whilst working with them, I also was able to develop relationships with other families within their school community, a total of 6 other families who would be able to, and to this day, ask for help when needed. I've been described as fun, creative, crafty, and very quick on my feet, I'm a great multitasker. I've also been described as the family "vibe checker", I'm always looking to brighten up the energy in a room. I am currently in school full time to finish my BA in Film Production and Classical / Latin Studies. I speak fluent Italian and Spanish, and am developing a career as an actor and film producer. I am a big advocate for the arts and would love to share my love for reading / painting / singing with whomever I'm babysitting. Additionally, I am an entrepreneur running my social media marketing agency during the day. I’m also the oldest of four sisters, if that’s any reassurance, and have also done school drop off, pick up, and meal prep with them. I love cooking and am also comfortable tidying up with dishes and meal prep. My Linkedin is the same as my name here. Happy to provide references. Hope to meet you soon!

Lourdes is everything you could want in a sitter. She’s communicative, flexible and fun. She started babysitting for me when I was a new mom and nervous about leaving my baby with someone who wasn’t a family member and now it’s hard for me to leave my kids with anyone else! We love Lourdes! Highly recommend!

Janett 1 review
$23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Teaneck, 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.
