Anbriel $25 per hour for 1 child

I have a background in psychology and three years of experience working with children aged 2 to 12. This experience has allowed me to support children’s emotional, social, and developmental needs while managing behavior and creating a nurturing environment. My academic training gives me a strong foundation in child development, which I use to guide my caregiving approach. I am empathetic, patient, and adaptable, always aiming to connect with children and provide them with the support they need to thrive. I excel at managing behavior, offering emotional support, and implementing age-appropriate developmental activities. While my focus has been on children, I am also skilled in handling household services, ensuring an organized and positive environment for families. My nurturing and caring nature, combined with my understanding of psychology, makes me an effective and compassionate caregiver.

Jennifer $20 per hour for 1 child

Hey there! I’m Jennifer — part-time nursing student, full-time fun-bringer, and your go-to babysitter with 5+ years of experience wrangling giggles, snacks, and sibling squabbles like a pro. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, but I especially love hanging out with those 6 and up! Babysitting isn’t just a job to me—it’s something I genuinely love. Helping kids learn, grow, and have fun is what got me started and what keeps me going. I’m calm, patient, creative, and known for being the “cool babysitter” (okay, maybe I said that—but still!). I’m happy looking after up to three kiddos at once, and I love activities that keep us all moving and thinking—like outdoor games, puzzles, board games, and crafts. I always stick to the rules you set, and I’ll keep you in the loop with updates however you prefer. Bottom line: I want to be someone you can trust and your kids are excited to see walk through the door. Let’s make babysitting awesome together!

Booked by 1 family in Staten Island, NY

Hi! I’m Nathaly, and I’ve been babysitting for about 6 years. Working with children has always been a passion of mine! As the oldest of four siblings (ages 12, 4, and 3), I’ve played a big role in helping my mom raise and care for them from a young age. I worked at an after-school program for about a year and a half, where I supervised and engaged groups of up to 30 children through homework help, games, crafts, and other fun activities. I’m currently in nursing school to become an LPN, with plans to specialize/work in pediatrics because I truly enjoy caring for children and helping them grow in a safe, nurturing environment.

We absolutely love working with Nathaly! She has been babysitting our two kids (ages 4 and 5)for the past six months, and she is incredibly reliable, warm, and creative. She is always punctual, and communicates wonderfully.
