Bernarda $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Bernarda and I am 25 years old. I am currently working at a part time legal assistant position while also building my career in the wine industry. I have been working with kids since the age of 15, where I started coaching tennis to a 10 and under group with The New York Junior Tennis League. My experience working with kids is not something I learned at my job. Growing up at home my mom was a babysitter, and I always helped her take care of the children, from toddlers to kids in elementary school. I grew up with these children in my house and I learned to love them, help them with homework, and even take them out on small trips with my mother. Ever since I have helped my mom with babysitting , children have always been part of my life. Eventually,I was able to continue to work with children teaching them and making tennis a fun game for them to learn. I love to read, play tennis, and dance as well. I also speak Spanish and I would gladly be able to teach your son or daughter. I promise to take care of your child like they were my own. Make each day with me fun and exciting !

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!

Sarah $32 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sarah, and I'm originally from just outside of Boston. I graduated from Wake Forest University in 2023 and am starting my Master's in School Counseling at Columbia University this fall to become a licensed elementary school counselor. I've been living in the Morningside Heights area for the past year and a half. I'm looking for a babysitting position on Thursdays and Fridays, with flexibility for additional hours on other days as long as they don't conflict with my class schedule. I've been babysitting, working with, and volunteering with children since I was a teenager. I have experience caring for children of different ages, and I really enjoy getting to know each child's personality and interests. I'd love to find a family I can work with consistently throughout the school year!

Candace $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Candace and I’m offering child care and household services. I am an energetic, responsible, and experienced childcare professional with a passion for creating fun, engaging, and memorable experiences for children of all ages. My background includes working with children in educational, recreational, and entertainment settings, allowing me to build strong connections while fostering creativity, confidence, and learning. As a performer with Disney Cruise Line, I had the opportunity to inspire and entertain children daily through music, storytelling, and dance. I also worked as a dance instructor teaching children ages 6 months to 8 years old, helping them develop coordination, self-expression, and confidence in a positive and encouraging environment. In addition, I have held multiple after-school teaching positions where I worked with children ranging from preschool age through middle school, supporting their growth through educational and enrichment activities. I also owned and operated a princess party company, where I spent weekends creating magical experiences for children while ensuring every event was safe, interactive, and engaging. My experience has taught me how to connect with children of different ages and personalities, maintain a safe and nurturing environment, and keep kids entertained through creative activities, games, crafts, music, and imaginative play. I am reliable, patient, and dedicated to making every child feel valued, supported, and excited to learn and have fun. I also have a passion for dogs and raised my goldendoodle in the city since he was 10 weeks old. I have experience dog walking and dog sitting!
