Find an emergency babysitter in Brooklyn, NY

Hi! My name is Beck (she/they) and I am sitter/caregiver with 10+ years of experience. I have been a nanny/sitter in the city for over dozens of families for kids ages newborn-13 years old (including experience with twins and triplets!). I am also comfortable being a caregiver for seniors and children/adults with different abilities and special needs as I have cared for both. My prior responsibilities include driving, creative outlets (music and dance as I have a background in those), cooking, house work/cleaning, and running errands. I am also comfortable with any type of pet you may have and offer pet/house sitting as well! I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Hi! I’m Ashitaka, a CPR-certified preschool teacher and children’s gymnastics instructor with over 2 years of experience supporting little ones as they grow, learn, and play. I specialize in working with toddlers and early childhood age groups, and I bring a warm, high-energy, and creative approach to caregiving. As a Broadway actor and performer, I love incorporating music, movement, and storytelling into everyday moments — from dance breaks to dramatic storytime. I’m comfortable with meal times, routines, transitions, and sensory play, and I thrive in environments where kids feel both safe and celebrated. Helping children feel confident, curious, and cared for is at the heart of what I do. I’d love to be part of a home where joy and structure go hand in hand!

Hi! My name is Willow and I am a recent grad from NYU. I have some babysitting experience for other families in high school, but most of my experience is with my younger brother from the ages of 0-4. Responsibilities include running errands, outdoor time, crafting, cooking, cleaning the house, and bedtime. I am flexible, warm and patient. Right now I am working part time at Brooklinen, where much of my focus is on making sure people feel welcome. I love meeting new people, and work great one-on-one. Outside of customer service, my job is to maintain a clean and comfortable space. I am calm, flexible, and comfortable balancing interaction with organizational tasks. I also have dog and cat sitting experience. I have had pets my whole life- I love animals and am very comfortable with their care. I have experience with nannying for senior cats over an extended period, and am comfortable with feeding, changing litter, giving medication and playing. With my own dogs, I am comfortable walking them daily, and taking care of hygiene such as teeth brushing and hair brushing.

Hi, I am Yuka and I’m a dance educator based in NYC. I have over 15 years of experience teaching dance for kids (ages 4-17) I love animals, especially cats!

Hi there! I'm Sophie, a Brooklyn newcomer (as of September) with a lifelong love of working with children. My professional background has always centered on kids and families. After eight years in the Bay Area, I've held roles as an Education Director at the Boys & Girls Club of San Francisco, then moved into mission-driven EdTech and, most recently, mental health companies focused on expanding access to care for youth. But my connection to children goes back long before my career. I started as a mother's helper in middle school, nannied after school for a six-week-old throughout high school, studied Early Childhood Development at Skidmore College, and in recent years have had the joy of caring for my goddaughter every Thursday since she was three months old. I'm stepping away from my corporate role to slow down intentionally — that looks like applying to graduate school and, I hope, building a meaningful relationship with a family nearby. I would love nothing more than to support your day-to-day and make sure your child feels genuinely loved and cared for. Looking forward to connecting! Sophie
