Hi! My name is Josephine. I'm originally from Portland, Oregon, but recently graduated from Boston College in May, and moved to New York City in June! I've been babysitting since middle school and have the most experience caring for toddlers and school-age children, though I'm happy to work with kids of any age. I'm incredibly responsible, organized, and dependable, and I always strive to create a safe and fun environment for the children I care for. In addition to childcare, I'm happy to help around the house with cooking, cleaning, laundry, dog walking, and other household tasks. I also speak French and a little Spanish, and I'm glad to help with homework or provide extra academic support when needed. A little about me: I love spending time outdoors, exploring New York, and visiting art museums. Whether we're doing crafts, playing outside, reading books, or helping with homework, I enjoy finding activities that keep kids engaged and having fun. I'd love the opportunity to meet your family and help however l can!
Hello families! My name is Renae. I am 24 years old. Im currently in school for business management but I also work for a community based program that provides activities for children. Ive also been a camp counselor/ group leader for summer camps/ programs. Im mostly around kids ages 5-11, My favorite activities to do with kids are playing games ( UNO, connect four, mancala), doing arts and crafts, and reading. When I'm not working I enjoy making art and spending time with friends and family.
Hi! Long time babysitter and dog sitter. Used to work as a princess entertainer for children birthday parties. I love to sing, dance, and read. I also used to work at Camp Bow Wow taking care of dogs of all sizes
I have a close relationship with the children in my family and have been involved in caretaking for my younger cousins since my years early in high school (14-15 years old). I've also been responsible for caretaking for my neighbor's dog regularly during the day from 9-7/8 PM and am very comfortable with dogs generally.
Hi - I’m Arionna! I’m a lawyer living in NYC. I am offering child care services, and am happy to take care of pets as well! In addition to my law degree, have an undergraduate degree in Psychology with a minor in Human and Social Development. I have been babysitting off and on since I was in high school and so I am comfortable balancing having fun and keeping kids engaged with making sure that parents’ instructions and schedules are followed. I’m happy to help with playtime and activities, homework, meals, bedtime routines, or simply keeping kids entertained while you’re away.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
