Olivia $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia and I’m currently a sophomore at Pace University. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love babysitting, and have been doing so since the age of 14. I grew up watching my younger cousin, as well; so I have experience with children in all growth stages, ranging from toddler to preteen. My responsibilities in the past have included, getting to and from school safely, meal prep, crafts and playtime, outdoor activities, baking, and so much more! I have also been working part time in a nursing home, so I am very comfortable with senior care as well! Additionally, I’d love to run any errands you may have, cook, clean, etc. I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I’m also more than willing to watch your furry friends as well.

Dana $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Dana, and I’m seeking a long-term position as a nanny/childcare provider. For the right family, I’m open to longer hours or a live-in position, offering flexibility to meet your needs. With several years of experience as a teacher’s aide/assistant at a preschool and as a nanny for multiple families, I bring a wealth of expertise in childcare. I’m passionate about working with children because their energy is incredibly uplifting, and I thrive in the joyful, dynamic environment they create. My love for childcare has driven my career, and I’m excited to continue in a role where I can make a positive impact. In addition to childcare, I offer highly experienced pet care, ensuring your furry family members are well looked after. I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping duties, such as laundry, tidying up, and basic kitchen tasks (like dishwashing or organizing). Please note that light housekeeping does not include sweeping, mopping, scrubbing, or excessive vacuuming. I also provide light cooking, preparing a variety of dishes from simple snacks to family meals. As a personal assistant, I can handle tasks like picking up dry cleaning, pharmacy orders, food shopping, and driving children to and from activities, appointments, or school. I hold a valid driver’s license and drive a newly purchased SUV, offering reliable and convenient transportation. As a naturally neat, tidy, and organized person, I take pride in creating a clean and welcoming environment. In my spare time, I enjoy summer beach trips, attending sporting events, exploring, trying different restaurants, and watching sports. I’d love to connect with a family seeking a reliable, caring, and experienced nanny for a long-term partnership, whether part-time, full-time, or live-in. Feel free to reach out to discuss how I can support your family!

Siyan $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Union City, NJ

Hello! My name is Sienna. I’m a recent graduate from the UPenn and am an oncology nurse here in NYC. I work with the adult population in the hospital, but I’ve always loved working with kids. I was a babysitter for 2 years in high school, and I also worked in a children’s hospital throughout my time in undergrad. I’m attentive, detail oriented, patient, and especially love being playful with kids. I'm comfortable with a variety of tasks, from arts and crafts to tutoring to accompanying kids to their extracurriculars. I’m also an avid cook and baker outside of my full time job and would be more than happy to bring those skills to your family as well! On top of that, I am CPR certified and happy to provide care if your child has any medical needs. I am allergic to cats but am happy to work with families with dogs!
