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!

Hi, I'm Julia! I'm originally from Los Angeles and currently a sophomore at Indiana University studying Sport Marketing and Management with a minor in Business. I am highly organized, active, and responsible. During high school, I completed 300 hours of sports medicine volunteering, which instilled in me a strong sense of care, safety, and attention to detail. I offer dedicated child care, basic pet care, and general household assistance, including organizing and running errands. I have one year of formal babysitting experience, primarily working with active toddlers and school-aged children, ensuring they stay engaged and follow their daily routines safely.love keeping kids active! Because of my background playing tennis, I really enjoy getting kids outside for sports, games, and physical activities. I also love helping them with creative projects and reading. As a current college student, I am well-equipped to provide homework help and tutoring across various subjects. I am also great at teaching basic tennis skills to keep kids moving and having fun! While in high school, I completed 300 hours of sports medicine volunteering. This extensive experience gave me a strong foundation in health, safety, and first-aid principles, making me highly attentive to physical well-being. I also am CPR certified. I am an animal lover and am very comfortable interacting with and caring for standard household pets, including most breeds of dogs and cats, as I have dogs of my own. I am happy to handle neighborhood walks, manage feeding schedules, and provide plenty of energetic playtime. I am completely comfortable around large dogs and pets that shed.
Hi, I’m Alexandra, 26 years old. I’m a responsible, friendly, and caring babysitter with 5 years of experience looking after kids of all ages, from babies to teens. I love getting creative with crafts and games, and I’m always happy to help out with cooking and light household tasks. Most of my experience comes from babysitting nieces and nephews of different ages, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities and needs. While I don’t hold a formal CPR/first-aid certification, I completed first-aid training in school and I’m always alert and prepared when caring for children. I’m available for morning shifts and on Saturdays, or at night after 8 PM. One recent family shared this about our time together: “Completely satisfied — she kept our son entertained for 7 hours straight with lots of variety. Impressively good.” (5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) I’d love the chance to meet your family and help care for your little ones!
