Booked by 8 families in South Ozone Park, NY

Hi! My name is Lily, I work and live full time in New York, and I went to Virginia Tech for school. I love being a babysitter and I’m trying to find opportunities to continue baby-sitting here. I have been baby-sitting since I was about 14 years old. I’ve sat kids 9-11, and my younger cousins who are 3, 7, 10, and 13. I am a kind, thoughtful and creative person who likes to craft, knit, read and play board games in my free time. I love kids and I am a patient, responsible, and caring individual. I can also work as a household assistant who cleans, runs errands, house sits or pet sits. I grew up with 3 cats and a dog and I just adore pets. I miss my chocolate lab back at my parent’s house. :)

Hi there! I’m Madeleine, and I’m attending NYU at the moment. I am a Psychology major, and find working with kids fascinating as you can really see skills and proficiencies develop. I have worked as a babysitter for children from 5-12, and as a summer camp counselor for children from 4-13. I have also worked in temporary childcare for children from 6 months to 12 years. I am a former STEM school student, where I volunteered as a tutor for Math, Science, and SAT prep. I am able to assist with homework or skill building in these areas. I previously sang in a choir for seven years, in multiple vocal parts, and am able to work with learning solfège or sight reading.

Hi, I'm Victoria! I have 8+ years of babysitting and nannying experience in NYC and have recently re-entered the babysitting world after getting my MBA! I work full time in finance but have been missing getting to work with kids. Originally from Upstate NY, I moved to NYC to pursue a BFA in dance and have since transitioned to the business and finance realm. Some background on my experience: I have been babysitting for the past 10 years and I love to work with kids. I have worked with children from ages 2 months to 12 years old. I have also taught creative movement classes and dance to kids of all ages, so I am very accustomed to high energy and can match that of your child. I have also tutored children and worked in classroom settings. I am a very active and enthusiastic person, which I love to share with the kids I work with. I love to babysit because growing up, my babysitters had a positive influence on me and became very important to me, so I want to give others that experience and be a fun, inspiring babysitter and positive role model. I do not treat this job as daily work, I treat each family as my own and make sure the family and children receive the best care possible! Additionally, I have done volunteer work with reading to preschoolers, helping elementary school students after school with tutoring, and volunteering at daycare services for kids. A fun fact about me is that I love art, reading, and pets! I hope to get to know you and your family in the future!

Booked by 10 families in South Ozone Park, NY

Hi, my name is Mashiyat and I have been working with kids since I was 16 and have always enjoyed it. I worked my summers in high school at a science and engineering camp where I was a counselor for ages 5-7. I became early education and care certified in college when I was a teaching assistant for the on campus daycare primarily as an infant/toddler daycare teacher. In addition to providing direct care for the babies in my classroom, I also have experience working with infants as a medical assistant for a pediatrician’s office and worked directly with families at a children’s hospital to enroll them into clinical trials. Although I have mostly worked with infants and toddlers, I also have experience with kids of all age groups from summer camp or other previous babysitting positions.

"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!"
