Jamora $18 per hour for 1 child

My name is Jamora, and I have a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, caregiving has always been one of my greatest passions. I’ve worked in daycares and childcare settings since I was 16 years old, and throughout the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with children of all ages and abilities, including those with special needs. I’m CPR/AED certified, trained in anaphylaxis response, and have completed specialized training in infant care, special education, and hold a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential. What makes me a great caregiver is not just my experience, but my genuine love for helping others feel safe, supported, and valued. I’m known for my patience, nurturing personality, and ability to stay calm under pressure. I bring a mix of structure, creativity, and warmth to every environment I step into, whether I’m caring for kids, seniors, pets, or assisting with household tasks. I believe every person deserves care that is thoughtful and tailored to their needs, and I take pride in being that dependable, compassionate presence in their lives.

Carly $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Carly. I am a preschool teacher living in Queens. I have a BFA in Fine Arts from Purchase College and a MSEd in Early Childhood Education from City College. I have about 10 years of experience working with children in a variety of ways including as a camp counselor, teacher, and babysitter. I love working with children and enjoy learning about their interests and gaining an understanding of their perspectives in the world. As a babysitter it is my goal to ensure the children feel secure and cared for, that their individuality is respected, to form a meaningful connection with them, and to be a valuable source of support in their lives as well as to their family.

Booked by 2 families in Flushing, NY

Hello!! I have 12 years of childcare experience with 4 of those years spent as a full-time nanny and 1 of them as a house/nanny-manager. I have experience with children ages 3 months-13 years. I prioritize safety and love to be a hands on caretaker. My favorite activities with children include reading, arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, teaching dance (I'm a dance teacher!), and encouraging creativity through fun, engaging activities. I also have experience with household management, including running errands, meal prep and cooking, laundry, light housekeeping, dog walking, and home organization. I also have experience with morning roles in getting kids ready for school/daycare in addition to transport before and after school/camps. I am recently Red Cross CPR certified. I currently work at Paul Taylor Dance Company in the education sector. I have a bachelors degree in marketing from the University of Colorado Boulder Leeds School of Business. In my free time, I love to take dance classes, create art, play with my cat, thrift, and spend time exploring the city!

Booked by 1 family in Flushing, NY

Hi everyone! My name is Maren, I am a recent graduate from the Rhode Island School of Design where I received my MFA in illustration. Now I’ve relocated to Brooklyn with my fiance, and am starting a new chapter of life! I love kids, I taught dance to 15 elementary students for four years in high school, have two rambunctious cousins (7,11) at home who I take care of when I see them and grew up sitting from the age of 12. I love to bring activities, play, and just hear the crazy things kids say. I am a fantastic cook and quite the voice actor when it comes to picture books. Can’t wait to meet you!

Emily $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm 28 years old and currently an MSW student at Fordham University with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages. I've worked with families in their homes, in after-school programs, and in child advocacy. I truly enjoy building relationships with the families I work with and creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for kids. I'm happy to help with whatever makes your day a little easier—whether that's keeping your children engaged, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, getting them safely to and from activities, or pitching in with household tasks like dishes, laundry, and light tidying. I also offer pet sitting and house sitting and know how important it is to have someone reliable caring for your home and pets while you're away. I'm dependable, organized, and easy to communicate with, and I always treat your home with respect. I know how much trust goes into finding the right caregiver, and I don't take that lightly. My goal is to make sure your children, pets, and home are well cared for so you can have peace of mind. I have references available upon request, and I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family!
