Find an emergency babysitter in Astoria, NY

Hello! I’m an Art History major at the University of Virginia and currently a visiting student at NYU. I have several years of experience babysitting for family, friends, and younger cousins, as well as volunteering as a tutor for kids from pre-K through middle school. I love working with children and always aim to create a safe, fun, and engaging environment for them. I’m also a big animal lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. Last summer, I worked as a gallery assistant in South Carolina, where I managed the space independently—cleaning, organizing, and helping visitors. That role really taught me responsibility, reliability, and how to stay calm under pressure—qualities I bring to babysitting as well! I am correctly in New York from May 2025 - August 2025 I’d love the opportunity to support your family and get to know your little ones!

Hello, my name is Odalys. I'm a freshman at the college I live in Manhattan. I enjoy babysitting. I've been babysitting since I was 9 years old. I've taken care of my little cousins, but they're now grown up. I used to babysit, feed them, help them with their homework, and play with them. I offer to help children learn to read, take them to the park, and do developmental activities, also I enjoy baking and do healthy snacks. I can live with pets and also I can speak two languages: English and Spanish.

I'll be upfront: I'm not a full-time nanny, and that might be exactly why you'd want me. During the week, I am the project design lead for a large-scale waterfront project in Lower Manhattan. The work I do Monday through Friday demands serious multi-tasking, a high degree of responsibility, and clear communication under pressure. On weekends and possibly weeknights, I'm looking to take on nannying and babysitting work to pay down student debt and help support some elderly relatives. Despite a decent salary, I am in real need of a reliable long-term side hustle for the next few years, and childcare is something I will genuinely enjoy, not just endure. About me: I am comfortable with toddlers (1-3), young kids (4-8), and older kids (9-12+). I am happy to discuss infants on a case-by-case basis. My experience with very young babies is limited, and I won't oversell that to a new parent. I am the oldest of six siblings, the youngest being 12 years younger than I am. I bring "supportive older sister" energy. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I hold a BS in Biology and a master's degree in architecture. I am well-read and comfortable tutoring up to Calculus 1, and I can be a genuinely positive academic influence for a curious or academically inclined older child. Extra points if there's any interest in architecture. I don't have formal nanny references, but I am happy to provide strong professional references, including colleagues who know me well in the context of their own children. I do not smoke, am not a heavy drinker, and do not use drugs. I have a current driver's license, an impeccable driving record, and my own (admittedly slightly junky) car. I am a strong home cook, though not a chef. Happy to put together meals. Most of all, I am kind, extroverted, and hardworking. I know how to be a supportive presence in someone's home without overstepping. I will be on board with the way you choose to raise your children. I currently live in Williamsburg and am flexible on the neighborhood. Happy to sign an NDA. I am a strong fit for a family looking for weekend support, or for one that already has a full-time nanny and needs a reliable, professional substitute on days off or additional weekend coverage. I am motivated, I show up, and I'm seeking a long-term, regular arrangement. Happy to come by for a meet-and-greet if you think I could be a good fit for your family.
