Find an emergency babysitter in Fresh Meadows, 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!

Hi— I’m Jayla, a child enthusiast who loves to find the creative side in everyday things. I studied biology in undergrad at Western Michigan University and decided to walk the untraditional path of pursuing my creative ideas as they come through. I love working with children as a way to relive the best experiences of my childhood. I come from a large family with many nieces and nephews and love to stay active indoors and out. I love to share the fun facts I’ve retained over the years and consider myself a fairy, finding the beauty in every day things but mostly nature. I am CPR certified and have been a babysitter and caregiver to families in New York, Michigan and Ohio throughout high school and college. I enjoy being around all animals and especially cats and dogs. I’ve worked with children, toddlers, and teenagers ages infant-14 but have more experience with infants- 3yo. I would love to connect with local families to tutor and babysit. Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi - I’m Francesca (I go by Chinaza though!) and I'm I’m an NYU Graduate, with a degree in Communications and a minor in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies! I am offering child care and household services. As an eldest daughter, I am very well versed in being a great babysitter and have been watching toddlers and kids (my little sister is currently 6 and my brother 18 so I am very well equipped for all that entails). My responsibilities have included commuting to/from school, anything artistic, and tutoring. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I’m not allergic to anything, and am happy to work with families with cats or dogs!

Hello! My name is Melissa, I'm 21 years old, and I'm a student looking for a part time babysitting job. As a person with a large family, I have been collecting childcare experience from a very early age. The bulk of my professional experience with children comes from teaching roles. I worked at Brooklyn Museum for two years as an art programs educator in both hands on workshop settings and as a formal tour guide in the galleries. Outside of the formal settings, I used to work as a freelance children's party entertainer. I also taught kids 4-6 literacy skills over the summer as a teen. I am available on weekends and some weekdays after 4:30 p.m. Please give me an idea of your family's needs/schedule and I will do my best to accommodate you! My hourly rate is flexible. Contact me with your budget and I will try to work with you.

Hi, I’m Tatyana, a dependable, capable, and thoughtful extra set of hands for families and households throughout New York City. For more than ten years, I’ve worked with children, pets, and busy households in different capacities, learning that no two families operate the same way. My approach is adaptable, intuitive, and grounded in understanding how to support a home without disrupting it. I started babysitting in middle school with my younger cousins and quickly became the neighborhood’s trusted sitter throughout high school. In 2021, I worked as a nanny for three children ages 5, 7, and 9, helping manage the rhythm of daily life through school support, meals, activities, park outings, crafts, games, and homework. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children at once and stepping in wherever needed to keep things running smoothly. In addition to childcare, I offer cat care, dog walking, light senior companionship, and household support including laundry, cooking, errands, organization, and deep cleaning. I understand that the best household support often comes from anticipating needs before they become tasks. Some families prefer structure and routines. Others thrive with flexibility. I adjust accordingly while remaining reliable, calm, and respectful of the systems already in place within your home. I enjoy reading with children, creative projects, board games, outdoor time, and creating an environment where children feel both safe and genuinely cared for. Availability • Evenings and weekends • One-time and occasional support Rates • $28/hour • $175 flat overnight rate I am not currently CPR certified but would be happy to obtain certification if requested. I look forward to connecting and learning how I can best support your family and home!!
