Tiauna $20 per hour for 1 child

A motivated and adaptable nursing student currently in my freshman year of college. My experience with younger siblings has equipped me with strong interpersonal skills and the ability to connect with people of all ages. Outside of academics, I enjoy expressing my creativity through hairstyling and experimenting in the kitchen, especially with baking. Known for my kind and outgoing nature, I am a team player with a positive attitude. While my school schedule varies, I am generally available in the evenings and on weekends. I'm seeking opportunities to apply my skills and contribute to a dynamic work environment.

Victoria $25 per hour for 1 child

Creative, reliable, patient, and understanding. I have 15+ years experience working with children of all ages. As the oldest of 15 cousins, I began babysitting early and have always loved working with kids. I spent six summers as both a counselor and Arts + Crafts Department Head at an overnight camp in New Hampshire for kids ages 8-18, and earned degrees in Elementary and Special Education from the University of Vermont. I will always treat your little ones with respect and am comfortable navigating big emotions or challenging behaviors with a cool head and a positive outlook. I love finding fun and creative ways to make mundane tasks exciting, and love learning about children's interests and personalities to help them grow into their truest selves. I can support caregiving, learning, extracurriculars, household chores... I'm happy to jump in and help make your day-to-day a little easier! I have some experience with pets (mostly cats + dogs) and while I have less experience with senior care, I am confident that I have the right demeanor and skillset to provide those services if needed. A bit more about me: I enjoy cooking, live music, art, and exploring the city as a recent transplant from Quincy, MA. I spent the past six years working for a 3D Printing startup based in Boston where I lead Workplace Experience and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion efforts. My partner's career has recently brought us to NYC, a move I have been wanting to make for quite some time now. I visited the city frequently before our move and have a large network of friends living here, so while I am a new resident I have spent substantial time here and am comfortable with basic safety and transportation routes. If I seem like a good fit for your family's needs, please reach out to chat!

Marchia $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi- my name Marchia. I’m offering childcare, senior care and household services. I am a very humble person, I have a special love for children and the elderly. I am very clean and organized and I enjoy cooking. In my experience working with babies I wholeheartedly enjoy being apart of their formative years and witnessing their personalities coming together. I have approximately 2.5 years experience working with children professionally but almost 20 years in total babysitting and looking after my own brother and cousins. I work really well with seniors and enjoy conversations with them as well.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Saint Albans, NY

Hi! I've been a nanny and babysitter for over 14 years, caring for children from just a few weeks old up to age 12. What started as helping out a co-worker occasionally has grown into something I've done alongside my professional life for over a decade and I genuinely love it. More recently, I spent 7 years with one Brooklyn family, caring for their son from age 5 through 12 (through end of 2025). I currently have consistent part time work with a 3.5 year old. I've also worked with babies, toddlers, and sibling combos, including kids with autism and mood-related challenges. I'm confident juggling different needs, ages, and personalities, whether that's helping a toddler through potty training or guiding a 10-year-old through homework frustration. I'm comfortable with: -Infants, toddlers, and older children (including multiples) -Special needs (including mild autism and mood disorders) -Doctor visits -Daytime outings, pickups/drop-offs (currently only available for some drop offs) -Cooking, light cleaning, bedtime, bath time, homework help -Pet-friendly homes (I love animals!) -Out of town visits, including care in hotel rooms. I've lived in NYC for 11 years so I am very comfortable navigating the city and taking transit with kids if needed. Ultimately my goal is to make your life easier and help your child feel safe, supported, and seen. My other professional background in e-commerce & retail management has primed me for being able to prioritize, the ability to patiently & positively meet needs, to clearly communicate, and being comfortable with taking responsibility. Most importantly, it has made me realize that if I have to get a headache about something work related, it might as well be from an adorable screaming child. Things to know: -I have a 3 hour job minimum unless otherwise agreed upon -If my commute is reasonably 1+ hour away I also ask for half of my transit time be compensated.

Wendy is very sweet and got along well with our toddler

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.
