Booked by 6 families in Bronx, NY

Hi! I’m Divya, a 26-year-old finance professional living in NYC. I’m available in the evenings and on weekends and I love spending time with kids and helping families out. I’ve been caring for children for many years-from keeping infants and little ones entertained with games and crafts to helping older kids with homework or getting them to activities on time. I’m happy to help with light housework, laundry, or meal prep, and I’m always up for a trip to the park or some fun, active play. Families tell me I’m energetic, caring, and easy to work with. I make it a priority to create a safe, happy, and engaging environment for kids, whether we’re cooking together, doing a puzzle, or winding down with a story. * I am CPR and First Aid certified

Hi! My name is Hanna, and I’ve always had a passion for working with children and I hope to be an elementary school social worker one day. I’m currently a college student studying Forensic Psychology at John Jay College, and I’ve spent the past few years supporting kids in both classroom and program settings. I’ve worked one-on-one with first graders, led small group activities in after-school programs, and even helped coordinate summer activities for children with autism and learning differences.

Booked by 6 families in Bronx, NY

Hi all! I am Elizabeth Martel, a 23 year old female currently living on the Upper West Side! I am from Dallas, TX and I moved to NYC in May 2025 and have loved every second of it since! I’m a paralegal at a law firm where I spend my days, but in my evenings and on the weekends I love babysitting. When first moving to New York I really wanted to get into babysitting as it was something I enjoyed doing back home and was a good way to dive into my new city. Since then I have grown my babysitting connections and now have over 8 families I consistently babysit for all over the city. I mainly sit for infants/ and new borns, but also have experience with a wide range of ages from newborn - 11 years old. I am CPR certified, comfortable in high stress situations, and good at juggling multiple tasks. The children’s safety is always my top priority. I’m always available to have a meeting before as well!

Elizabeth was so wonderful with our infant! She arrived on time, she was so sweet with him, and we found he was super comfortable with her immediately. 10/10 recommend!
