Lizzie $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Weehawken, NJ

Hi, it’s nice to meet you! My name is Lizzie and I’m 25 years old originally from Charlotte, NC living in LES! I’ve been working remotely in sales for a data analytics firm since 2022 and given the flexibility of my role, I’m looking for child care opportunities. I started babysitting when I was 14 years old and never took for granted the responsibility and joy I felt from working with children. Along with babysitting, petsitting, and life guarding all of high school; I also was a part time nanny (after school, M-F) for the same family my junior and senior year. I’ve worked with children from the ages of 9 month olds- 13 year olds. I’m extremely grateful for my past childcare opportunities because working with children never fails to brighten my day. I love doing crafts, going to the park, and playing games with the children I watch along with helping teach them the importance of fulfilling their daily responsibilities such as homework, chores, politeness, etc. I also love cooking and baking for children and families. I’m mostly looking for work in the evenings (anytime after 4 on weekdays with full day/night availability on weekends) but I do have more afternoon flexibility on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays for occasional one off roles. Looking forward to being a big or small addition to you and your families lives!

Tatyana $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Tatyana, a dependable, capable, and thoughtful extra set of hands for families and households throughout New York City. For more than ten years, I’ve worked with children, pets, and busy households in different capacities, learning that no two families operate the same way. My approach is adaptable, intuitive, and grounded in understanding how to support a home without disrupting it. I started babysitting in middle school with my younger cousins and quickly became the neighborhood’s trusted sitter throughout high school. In 2021, I worked as a nanny for three children ages 5, 7, and 9, helping manage the rhythm of daily life through school support, meals, activities, park outings, crafts, games, and homework. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children at once and stepping in wherever needed to keep things running smoothly. In addition to childcare, I offer cat care, dog walking, light senior companionship, and household support including laundry, cooking, errands, organization, and deep cleaning. I understand that the best household support often comes from anticipating needs before they become tasks. Some families prefer structure and routines. Others thrive with flexibility. I adjust accordingly while remaining reliable, calm, and respectful of the systems already in place within your home. I enjoy reading with children, creative projects, board games, outdoor time, and creating an environment where children feel both safe and genuinely cared for. Availability • Evenings and weekends • One-time and occasional support Rates • $28/hour • $175 flat overnight rate I am not currently CPR certified but would be happy to obtain certification if requested. I look forward to connecting and learning how I can best support your family and home!!

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Weehawken, NJ

Hi! My name is Sophie and I'm a 23 year old Poetry MFA student at Columbia. I adore working with children, and am passionate about the patience, care, and creativity that it takes to give children the love they need! As well as being an experienced babysitter since I was thirteen, I have been a preschool teacher since I was a junior in High school, working at Shirat Hayam preschool of the North Shore from 2[removed] and the Preschool of the Arts Cambridge as a full-time preschool assistant during the summer of 2021 and 2023. There, I worked in the infant classroom as well as substituting for the 4-5 year old class. After graduating from Bennington College in 2023, I also worked as an English teacher in Kazakhstan for seven months, teaching classrooms of teenagers. It's very important to me that I create a safe, open, and fun environment where kids can feel their best to explore and feel grounded. I am skilled at creating projects and games for children, changing diapers, and well-versed in caring for infants. I am CPR certified. Feel free to contact me about references!
