Hi! I’m Izzy and I am currently a senior at NYU, originally from Colorado. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I absolutely adore kids and would definitely be a teacher in another life. I use to spend my summers teaching theater camps in my hometown, and was well known in the babysitting community there. I am CPR certified and know how to be fully present with children. I am athletic and love playing outside. I am also a singer and can play musical instruments, which the kids quite enjoy (anything Disney has always been a crowd pleaser!). I love animals and am most comfortable with dogs and cats! I am very tidy and organized, and love to help around the house. I also have a drivers license if needed and can help running errands when necessary. I grew up in a big family, so I learned how to be helpful at a very young age :)
“Izzy has been babysitting for our family several times a week since April and she has been a godsend! While she primarily helps out with my 7 and 9 year old, she has also babysat my 3 year old on many occasions (and my 3 year never likes new people and somehow Izzy found a way to break in)! She is always on time and flexible (one time when my 7 year old was sent home sick, she came last min to help out). My girls absolutely adore her and my husband and I love her positive energy around our children. She is comfortable taking the kids around the city (walking/subways/ubers) and we trust her completely with our children. We honestly feel we hit the jackpot in finding Izzy. She has helped us out during the day and has quickly become our children’s favorite sitter to put them to bed as well. Highly recommend!”
Hi, my name is Lindsay and I currently work in the pediatric behavioral health space. I am offering childcare and household services. I love and enjoy babysitting and working with kids. I am a former special education teacher and worked with students from elementary to high school. I have years of teaching and child care experience. More than happy to help with household tasks and pet sitting as well - I am very comfortable around all pets except snakes.
“Lindsay was great with our two kids. She was friendly, warm, punctual and communicative. We would definitely recommend! Thank you!”
Hi, I am Alex and I would love to help take care of your pup. I have always been around dogs my whole life. I understand that every dog is different and I am very patient with them. I currently have a job at night so I would be more than happy to walk your dog during the day or weekend.
Hi! My name is Sophia and I currently work at an advertising agency. I'm the eldest daughter of 5 kids and so taking care of others at all stages of life has been something I've grown up with. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have been babysitting for 12 years and nannied for 1 year and have enjoyed every opportunity I get to care for kids. I have experience with a wide range of age groups from infants to 12+ year olds. Families I have previously cared for say that I am kind, attentive, fun, compassionate, responsible, and always with a smile on my face. My responsibilities have included driving/to and from camps and swim lessons, crafts, and cooking. Some of my other skills include household services like cleaning. I was a paid cleaner for a year and in my personal life take pride in having a clean home. I also offer the services of running errands, laundry, and organizing. I have also had opportunities to care for a variety of pets - everything from dogs to cats to lizards to hamsters and more. My experience in pet sitting has involved walking, feeding, and playing with the animals.
Hello! My name is Viktoria, and I am a graduate student in Clinical Psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University. I have over 5 years of experience caring for children and supporting their development, and I’m passionate about combining creativity, movement, and learning in fun, age-appropriate ways. I have worked with children of all ages, from infants to elementary schoolers. My experience includes babysitting for families and caring for my nieces, serving as a dance assistant for ballet (2[removed]), and currently working as an Assistant Preschool Teacher at Hollingworth Preschool with children ages 3–5. I love engaging kids through movement, dance, reading, outdoor play, and creative arts. I can also support with homework, basic tutoring, and light meal prep. I am fluent in English and Greek and bring a warm, caring, and structured approach. I enjoy spending time with animals and have experience walking, feeding, and playing with dogs and cats. In my family, we’ve cared for 6 dogs and 3 cats, so I’m very comfortable with animals of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I am also happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of love and attention, whether with small pets or large breeds that shed.

"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!"
