Annie $23 per hour for 1 child

I have been working with kids since I was 14. I have experience as an behavioral therapist with kids on the autism spectrum, as a professional nanny, and also as an intermittent babysitter. I've worked with kids age 0-15! I love kids and will bring a positive attitude and energetic spirit. I am a current Master's student at NYU silver school of social work looking for some part time babysitting opportunities.

Miranda $22 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting since I was 14years old and love kids! I volunteered in the nursery (ages 1 through 4) at my church all four years of high school. In addition, while in college I nannied for two years. I have continued to babysit post graduation as much as I can! I was an early learners tutor at Kumon and taught swimming to kids ages 2 and up. So in addition to Babysitting, I’m well equipped to help with homework and provide swimming lessons!

Guliana $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Guliana! I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Social Work and work with middle and high school students. I have previous experience working with children and young adults with disabilities, which has helped me develop a patient, caring, and attentive approach when working with children of all ages. I also have experience pet sitting and am comfortable caring for both cats and dogs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and make it a priority to give them my full attention while creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment. I’m happy to help with homework, playtime, meals, bedtime routines, and anything else your family may need. I’m also willing to help with light cleaning, cooking, errands, and other household tasks. I’m very flexible with scheduling and am happy to work with your family to find an arrangement that works best for everyone. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide dependable, caring support for your children!

"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!"
