Sharice $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! - My name is Sharice, most call me Sha, and I'm currently a sophomore at the School of Visual Arts. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been caring for kids since I was 10 years old! Most of my experience has come from babysitting younger family members as I grew up in a big family and am the 4th oldest of 14 cousins! My responsibilities have included crafts, entertainment, pick-up and drop-off, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own 95 year-old grandma and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook and do many other tasks. Though I was raised in a pet-allergic household, I have been blessed without the allergy and am in love with furry friends!

Melissa $18 per hour for 1 child

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.

Irlanda $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Irlanda, a caring, dependable, and energetic childcare professional with over 8 years of experience working with infants, toddlers, and young children. I've worked as both a Teacher Assistant and Head Teacher in early childhood education, where I've planned engaging activities, supported children's development, and built strong relationships with families. I'm also completing my Master's degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), which has strengthened my communication skills and understanding of child development. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn through play, exploration, and creativity. Whether we're reading stories, doing arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, or working on age-appropriate learning activities, I strive to make every child feel supported and encouraged. Families describe me as patient, responsible, organized, and easy to communicate with. I'm comfortable caring for multiple children, preparing meals and snacks, helping with bedtime routines, and keeping parents updated throughout the day. My goal is to give parents peace of mind while ensuring their little ones feel happy, safe, and cared for.
