Carter 3 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in South Ozone Park, NY

"Hello, parents! I'm your go-to babysitter with over 5 years of experience, bringing warmth and enthusiasm to every childcare moment. Not only do I have a knack for keeping little ones entertained, but I also bring educational value through my tutoring expertise. Your child's safety, happiness, and growth are my top priorities. Let's create lasting memories together, one playful adventure at a time!"

Carter was fantastic, on time, very polite with a great personality. We ended up staying out later than expected and she had no issue staying late. She seemed to be able to get our girl to bed with less trouble than we’ve had lately. We highly recommend Carter as a babysitter

Laura $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Laura, a 35-year-old bilingual (Spanish/English) caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children ages 4 to 13. I hold a degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education, and I’m both CPR and First Aid certified. With a strong background in child development and classroom structure, I create safe, engaging, and age-appropriate experiences — whether it’s helping with homework, organizing creative play, or supporting routines like bedtime or mealtime. I'm patient, responsible, and truly enjoy supporting each child’s unique personality and learning style. I’m available Monday through Friday, mornings to evenings, and also some weekends as needed. I’d be happy to provide references and talk more about how I can support your family. Looking forward to connecting!

Lindsay $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Lindsay and I'm a UC Berkeley graduate from Los Angeles, California who moved to NYC last May and currently works in advertising. I love babysitting and have experience independently watching kids as young as 1 and as old as 14. I worked as a summer camp counselor for multiple years where I was in charge of kids between the ages of 4 and 7. I've helped with homework, made food, changed diapers, and planned arts and crafts. I can also serve as a personal assistant and run any errands or help clean up. I grew up with dogs and would be comfortable helping take care of them as well.

I have a close relationship with the children in my family and have been involved in caretaking for my younger cousins since my years early in high school (14-15 years old). I've also been responsible for caretaking for my neighbor's dog regularly during the day from 9-7/8 PM and am very comfortable with dogs generally.

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in South Ozone Park, NY

Hi – My name is Madeline and I’m a college graduate currently based in New York. I am offering child care, pet care, and household help. I love working with kids and have experience babysitting infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’m creative, patient, and love doing crafts, reading, and outdoor play. I’m also happy to help with homework or school pickups. I’ve supported busy families with cooking, organizing, errands, and light cleaning. I’m detail-oriented and love bringing calm to a busy home. I’m great with animals and have no allergies, so I'm happy to help with walks, feedings, and playtime.
