Molly $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a lifelong babysitter, starting as a mother’s helper at 8 years old for a neighbor and their infant. I babysat throughout high school for an infant until I moved to NYC when she was 8 years old. In college, I worked at a daycare with children aged 12 weeks to 5 years old. When I first moved to NYC I was a nanny for 3 different families with children ranging in age from 8 months to 2 years old. I am currently a 5th grade math teacher and have been a teacher to elementary and middle school aged children for 14 years. I love playing games, reading and going for walks or to the playground. I love to joke around while still have boundaries with kids to keep them safe and learn how to navigate the world around them.

Booked by 3 families in Maspeth, NY

Hi! My name is Sophia and I currently work at an advertising agency. I'm the eldest daughter of 5 kids and so taking care of others at all stages of life has been something I've grown up with. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have been babysitting for 12 years and nannied for 1 year and have enjoyed every opportunity I get to care for kids. I have experience with a wide range of age groups from infants to 12+ year olds. Families I have previously cared for say that I am kind, attentive, fun, compassionate, responsible, and always with a smile on my face. My responsibilities have included driving/to and from camps and swim lessons, crafts, and cooking. Some of my other skills include household services like cleaning. I was a paid cleaner for a year and in my personal life take pride in having a clean home. I also offer the services of running errands, laundry, and organizing. I have also had opportunities to care for a variety of pets - everything from dogs to cats to lizards to hamsters and more. My experience in pet sitting has involved walking, feeding, and playing with the animals.

Ramyaa $23 per hour for 1 child

Hey. I’m not gonna lie but this is my first babysitting job (officially). I’ve taken care of both my siblings. I have taken care kids in my neighbourhood from infants to upto 10 year olds. Changing diapers, preparing food based on needs, feeding, playing, teaching, walks, games, you name it haha. I have experience taking care of seniors & have taken care of seniors with dementia and trouble walking. I’m a registered pet sitter at care.com as well. As far as pets go I don’t have experience training but I can walk, dropin and sit. I do work from home in IT but that will never affect me providing amazing care because my job is super lowk and I barely have to pick up my laptop, i mostly just respond to emails haha. I’m sure your little ones will be interested in a software engineer does too haha

Hi! I’m Taylor, I’m 21 years old, going into my 4th year at Parsons School of Design, living in the East Village. Growing up in California I babysat for several families with children of different age ranges. I developed a love for children and being able to help families! I’m always happy to be an extra set of hands around the house and help families wherever needed. Addition to babysitting, my first job was a gymnastics coach for kids of all ages. In my free time I enjoy reading, working out, and going on long walks to enjoy the city!

"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!"
