Booked by 3 families in Floral Park, NY

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. I’m fluent in both English and Spanish, and I bring a lot of patience, energy, and creativity to every job. I’ve also taken care of toddlers in the past and love helping little ones learn, play, and feel safe. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or simply keeping things calm and fun at home, I’m here to support your family however I can!

$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sam, and I’m 22 years old. I’m currently a college student pursuing a career as a paramedic. I’ve been working as a nanny and babysitter for nearly four years, and I truly love caring for children. I enjoy doing crafts, baking, and going on little adventures that make learning fun and engaging. Creating a safe, positive, and happy environment for kids is very important to me. I’m also a big animal lover and have three pets of my own!

Sam has worked with our family for several years and has been truly wonderful. She’s helped care for our two children since they were very young and our kids absolutely love her. She is always dependable and such a kind person. Our kids are always out on fun activities around the city with Sam, and they love spending time with her. Even as our kids have grown, she’s still an active part of our lives. We trust her completely and would highly recommend her to any family.

Dominion 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Dominion, and I’m a biology graduate from the college of mount Saint Vincent, NY. I used to work as a microbiologist and now preparing for my masters program. I offer reliable child care, and household services. I have a passion for babysitting and have been caring for children—from newborns to preteens, including all my little cousins during summer vacations. My experience includes school pickups, engaging activities like crafts, tutoring, and even managing dance lessons. In addition to babysitting, I could provide household support, including cleaning, and running errands. I have experience caring for my grandparents, so I'm comfortable with senior care, whether it’s preparing meals, or helping with daily tasks. My hobbies include listening to music, YouTube, shopping, working in a laboratory and reading leisurely. Looking forward to meeting you!

When my mother-in-law was unexpectedly unavailable, I reached out to Dominion and she saved the day! She arrived on time and instantly connected with my 6-month-old, which is no easy feat considering that I work from home and my daughter is super attached to me. I was instantly comforted by my daughter's smile when Dominion reached for her and by Dominion's innate ability to soothe her when she did get a bit fussy later in the day. She understood my daughter's cues, and we had a chance to laugh about them together after I had finished a few meetings. She also treated my home with great respect and showed a genuine interest in getting to know my family. I know I will continuously reach out to her when needed. Thank you, Dominion!

Booked by 1 family in Floral Park, NY

Hi! I’m a responsible 19-year-old sitter in the Bronx with 4 years of babysitting experience. I’ve cared for children of various ages and am comfortable managing multiple kids while keeping things organized, safe, and fun. I can assist with meal prep, light household chores, and homework help — especially in ELA and Social Studies. I enjoy helping kids build confidence in reading, writing, and understanding what they’re learning. Beyond that I have plenty experience with both cats and dogs. I’m reliable, patient, and always focused on creating a positive and supportive environment for your family. Everyone needs a break sometimes and I hope to be able to provide that for you!

Zoe was a delight! She is so caring, polite, reliable, punctual and communicative while she cared for my son. My son loved her!! I Would definetely book again.

"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!"
