Rose $22 per hour for 1 child

I am one of six and have been babysitting since I could watch my little siblings and cousins. I love kids and am now an aunt to a two-year-old. I spent the past year and a half as a nanny for a one-year-old. I am a graduate of the University of Michigan and am currently based in Clinton Hill. As a nanny, I also help keep the house tidy and help out with errands. I love to create fun games and engaging activities. I have received training in CPR and first aid.

$29 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Katrina. I’ve been the go-to babysitter for my family and friends for many years, caring for children from 5 months to 9 years old since I was a teen. Working with kids has always come naturally to me, and I bring patience, structure, and a genuine love for what I do. I’m currently a Paraprofessional with the NYC Board of Education, in the Williamsburg neighborhood, where I work one-on-one with children in special education, including students with ADHD, autism, developmental delays, and speech disorders. I’ve supported preschool, kindergarten, first grade, second grade and Pre-K learners in a public school in Williamsburg. This gives me experience in behavior support, sensory needs, communication strategies, and helping children feel safe and understood. With me, your child will enjoy fun, engaging, and purposeful activities such as: • singing songs and movement games • days of the week & months routines • coloring, crafts, and hands-on activities • counting games and early learning skills • music, dancing, and story time • simple baking or kitchen fun (I’m a baking & pastry graduate!) My approach blends fun with structure, keeping children entertained while following their routines and respecting their individual needs. ✨ Availability: pickup, Summer days, occasional weekends, and DOE days off ✨ I’d love the opportunity to support your family and create a warm, safe, and joyful experience for your child.

Katrina has been an amazing sitter to our two kids (and dog!) for many years. She's so sweet, very reliable, engaging and fun with the kids. She's thoughtful and comes up with fun activities, the kids love her and we consider her family. She is bright, warm and tidy.

Emma 3 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in South Ozone Park, NY

Hi! I moved to New York in February from NC. I have 10 years of childcare experience, ranging from being a camp counselor to being a full time nanny for the past 7 years. I have experience working with infants, toddlers, and elementary school aged children. I enjoy engaging children in developmentally appropriate play, reading books, and taking trips to local parks, libraries, museums, and classes. I am happy to provide you with a list of references upon request. Looking forward to meeting you!

If you are searching for the absolute best childcare provider in the city, Emma is the one you are looking for. She is a true expert on all things New York and a consummate professional. Let me set the scene for you. It was Erin’s birthday, and I was in the middle of pulling off a massive surprise to celebrate her special day. However, as any parent knows, even the most carefully orchestrated plans can completely unravel in an instant. I desperately needed to finalize the last few critical details of the birthday surprise, and I simply could not do it without immediate, reliable childcare assistance. I sent out a last-minute serving request for help, feeling completely panicked about the situation. Enter Emma. When I say she dropped everything to help our family, I mean it quite literally. She responded instantly to our urgent plea and sprinted to our location to bail me out. She did not just arrive on time; she made it to us even earlier than expected! From the moment she walked through the door, she brought a wave of calm, capable energy that immediately put my stressed mind at ease. I knew right away that my family was in the best possible hands, and I was finally able to step away to perfectly execute the surprise for Erin without a single worry. But Emma did not just sit back and passively watch the children; she actively engaged them and turned an ordinary afternoon into an unforgettable adventure. She took Madison and Michael out into the city, giving them a personalized, expertly guided tour of mid-town Manhattan. Because Emma is a true New York aficionado, she didn't just walk them around the nearest block. She showed them the absolute magic of the city through the eyes of a local expert, navigating the bustling streets with ease and keeping them thoroughly entertained, safe, and incredibly happy the entire time. When I finally reunited with them later that evening, the kids were absolutely glowing with excitement. They could not stop talking about how much fun they had exploring mid-town with her. They explicitly declared that Emma instantly became the best babysitter they have ever had. Their words, not mine! To win over Madison and Michael that quickly and completely is a true testament to Emma's incredible warmth, boundless creativity, and genuine skill with children. We are so immensely grateful for her dedication and her incredibly swift response when we needed her most. She genuinely saved the day! Hire her and you ent regret it!

Sabira $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! I'm Sabira, your go-to babysitter! Growing up in a bustling house with lots of nieces and nephews aged 6 months to 18 years old has been the best training ground for my passion in childcare.
