D’ana $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m D’ana 😊 I’m a college student finishing my junior year and currently work as a teacher’s assistant in a Pre-K classroom with the NYC Department of Education. I have 2+ years of babysitting experience with children from 8 months to 8 years old, including caring for multiple kids at once. Working in both home and classroom settings has helped me build a strong balance of being fun, patient, and structured. I love keeping kids engaged through creative activities like arts & crafts, games, and hands-on learning. I also help with homework especially reading and writing and always try to make learning feel fun and encouraging. I’m looking for part-time babysitting where I can build meaningful connections with families while providing safe, reliable, and attentive care. A little about me: I have a dog named Cleo 🐶 and I’m currently challenging myself to read 100 books this year (I’m already at 15!).

"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!"
