Hi families, parents, and caregivers, I am offering occasional and part-time babysitting, pet sitting, and/or household services. I’m a mental health counselor with a focus on supporting children and adolescents (ages 5+). I hold a certification in delivering evidence-based mental health practices for children in NYS and often use play activities in my work. Before entering the counseling field, I worked in after-school programs, where I created and delivered social-emotional learning lesson plans for Pre-K3 classrooms. I place strong emphasis on safety, trust, and building meaningful rapport with youth in both formal and informal settings. When spending time with kids, I bring a warm, curious, and playful spirit to help build connection while maintaining safety and boundaries. I strive to be proactive, attentive, communicative, and organized so I can best support you, your loved ones, and your home. I look forward to connecting!

Hi Families! I'm Ella, I'm 22 years old, and a recent graduate from the University of Connecticut. I moved to NYC from Charlotte, NC this past August to pursue my career in publishing at Penguin Random House. I used to be a swim coach working with lots of children ranging from ages 3-17 for a summer swim team! I also have plenty of experience providing private and group swim lessons. I have babysat for multiple families and am comfortable running errands, pet sitting/ dog walking, prepping meals, pickups and drop offs and helping with homework for afterschool! I used to be an English major and now work all the time with books and would love to share my love for reading with your kids! I also am very comfortable with dogs and cats! I have two cats and grea up with dogs. I am very responsible and a hard worker. New York is very difficult to afford, I want to babysit or petsit for an additional income. Because I work a 9-5, my hours are limited, but if you have any consistent or inconsistent babysitting needs that aligns with this, please let me know!

Isatu $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi – My name is Isatu, and I’m currently studying for the LSATs. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love working with children and have over 8 years of childcare experience, beginning with caring for my younger siblings and neighbors’ children. This early responsibility led me to volunteer at multiple afterschool programs and later work in both daycare and after-school care. I enjoy storytelling, outdoor activities, and creating a positive environment where kids can grow, feel supported, and be themselves. My responsibilities have included crafts, tutoring, outdoor play, supervising routines, and helping children build confidence and independence. I also provide household assistance and can cook, clean, organize, and run errands with care and reliability.

"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!"
