Camira $21 per hour for 1 child

Hello everyone. My name is Camira and I’ve been around babies and animals my whole life. I’ve also worked in both a daycare and elementary school as a teachers aid. I love to connect with children through play, music, and laughter. I also enjoy being able to create safe and loving environments for them as well. I’m also a huge cat lover. I recently rescued two kittens, I’ve fostered two kittens, and grew up with my first cat Lucky. I’d love to add to your village and ease your mind during busy schedules.

Alicia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Alicia! I am a first-year student studying at Fordham University at Lincoln Center. I am offering child care, animal care, and household services. As a big sister, I’ve spent my whole life caring for my younger siblings, which sparked my passion for babysitting. I have hands-on experience watching over toddlers and ensuring their safety while juggling school drop-offs and pick-ups for their older school-age siblings. Over the years, I’ve cared for numerous young children, creating a fun, nurturing, and safe environment that parents can trust. As a result of working in multiple customer service jobs along with my engrained family position of being a middle child, I’ve developed an outgoing yet adaptable personality that allows me to connect with children of all ages and personalities. I genuinely enjoy being around different people and pride myself on my patience, creativity, and ability to handle any situation with a smile. Whether it's playtime, homework help, or bedtime routines, I’m dedicated to providing reliable and loving care for every child I watch. I also adore animals and would be happy to help with your furry loved ones, whether it be feeding, walking, or just playing. I have two of my own and know just how important they are to a family !! I can also help as a household assistant, providing tasks such as cleaning or running errands.

$21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Priya and I’m 18. I don’t have any paid babysitting experience yet, but I really love being around babies, especially infants. I’m super gentle, patient, and I’m happy to help with things like feeding, diaper changes, or bath time. I’m also totally fine following whatever routine you already have. I’m just here to make things easier and keep your baby happy and comfortable. I’m available part time, and I’d love to help out if you need someone!

“Priya is very good with kids especially babies. She babysit a friend’s baby once and did a very good job. The baby was feed, cleaned and in a good mood.”

"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!"
