Low rate to get my first reviews! I have a Neuroscience degree from the University of Michigan, and I'm hoping to build a bigger babysitting network to supplement the income from my part-time job, which involves social media and live comedy. Don't let my lack of reviews scare you away! I'm quite normal and definitely not creepy, and I'm happy to have a quick videochat before you take the plunge and book the unreviewed (but not inexperienced for the record!!) babysitter. I have babysat and nannied extensively over the past 12 years, and am comfortable with infants up to teens. In the past I've worked as a full time fifth grade math support staff in a public school, a preschool swim instructor, and nurse aide in a dementia facility for covid lockdown. I'm very attentive! I'm rarely on my phone when I'm with kids unless it's for something that matters, like to take a cute pic of them or to call a pediatrics MD about a nonurgent health issue—which is actually quite convenient for me because my mom is one. Once I get a handful of reviews, I'll start charging more like $30-40/hr depending on the number of kids. So send a message soon—you don't want to miss these Black Friday deals!
I’m a 19-year-old college student from Los Angeles, California! I’m currently studying pre-med and am aiming to be a pediatrician. I currently work with kids ages 7-11 (grades K-5) at an enrichment program. I’m working to pay my tuition and save up for after college as well. I don’t mind tutoring, getting groceries, cleaning, really anything you might need!
My name is Guadalupe but you can call me Lulu (: I am 27 years old, graduated from Columbia University (CC’20), and now work in the non-profit field (LinkedIn:[removed] I’ve been working directly with kids in NY for about 5 years and help connect them to various educational resources. I mainly work with kids between 1st-10th grade, some of who have learning differences such as ADHD, autism, etc. Additionally, I have a lot of experience tutoring various academic subjects and Regents tests, as well. Fluent in English, Spanish, and intermediate Portuguese. I am looking forward to connecting, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Thanks
As an empty nester who raised three children of my own, I bring a level of 'mom intuition' and calm authority that only comes with decades of experience. I specialize in providing high-end, reliable care for families who need a seasoned professional they can trust immediately. My background is unique: I’ve supervised a world-renowned kids' club, taught a wide range of subjects, and have extensive experience working with foster youth. This means I am exceptionally adaptable, patient, and capable of managing any situation—from high-energy play to quiet routines—with ease. I am available for day-by-day, occasional, and last-minute bookings. Whether it’s a date night or backup care during a busy day, my goal is to provide your children with an engaging, safe, and positive environment so you can have total peace of mind while you're away. I am comfortable with all ages and look forward to meeting your family! I graduated from NYU and majored in psychology.
Hi, I’m Nadia! Nice to meet you :) I’m a 27 year old publishing professional with a Bachelors in Biomedical Science and Masters in Public Health. I have over 15 years of and childcare experience (the family business!), covering infant nannying, homework help, 1-1 tutoring, school runs and busy Montessori settings and housekeeping. I have a warm and bubbly personality, and a childcare philosophy rooted in openness and encouragement, whilst maintaining clear and safe boundaries. I’m also a huge champion of books and learning, so always seeking opportunities to spend time nurturing a love of books in the younger generations! I truly adore and am comfortable working and bonding with children of all ages. I am comfortable with dogs and cats (love them actually!) Please do reach out with any questions; I am happy to work flexibly to suit your families needs!

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
