Hi families! My name is Aaliyah, I’m 21 years old and currently a college student in Manhattan studying Digital Marketing. I have over three years of childcare experience through after-school programs and babysitting for families. I’ve always enjoyed working with kids and getting to know their different personalities! I’m patient, caring, dependable, and full of energy. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, doing fun activities, or simply keeping them entertained, I love making sure kids have a great time while staying safe. Through my experience, I’ve become comfortable following daily routines, helping with homework, supervising playtime, and making sure children feel comfortable and supported. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust, and I always try to bring a positive and caring attitude into every home. I currently care for a family during the weekdays, so I’m mainly available for weekends, date nights, and occasional babysitting. I’m also an animal lover and am comfortable caring for pets! I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure your furry friends are well taken care of while you’re away. I’d love to connect with families looking for someone caring, dependable, and energetic who can lend an extra helping hand. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!
“Aaliyah was an amazing babysitter! She was very kind, patient, responsible, and attentive. She made sure my child was safe, comfortable, and well taken care of the entire time. Her communication was excellent, and she made the whole experience stress free. It’s not easy finding someone you can trust with your child, but Aaliyah made me feel completely at ease. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring babysitter. I will absolutely be booking her again!”
Hi everyone- My name is Eleni and I’m a recent graduate from Syracuse University. I am offering childcare, household services, and dog care. I’ve been babysitting children 2 years old to 15 years old for over two years. I’ve helped with schoolwork (tutoring and projects) crafts, and helped with Spanish lessons. This last year while working my full time job I’ve assisted two families on the weekends during date night, or in the evenings on weekdays. However, I am actively looking to start a new position so please reach out! I have also dog-sited and house-sited before. 😊 •I can provide references! Please note the following: I am more than happy to complete a job that pays below my usual rate(s) if i apply for it.
“Last week, I booked Eleni to watch my 10 year old son and we were both immediately taken by her warmth and friendliness. She arrived early and was enthusiastic about who my child is and all of the things he's interested in. Eleni was a perfect solution to a last minute child care on a friday night. We will be happy to book again in the future :)”
Hi! I’m Teonnie, a college student. I’m great with kids of all ages, especially school-age, and can help with homework, reading, and fun activities. I’ve spent a lot of time caring for kids in my family and with friends, and I’m committed to providing a safe, reliable, and fun environment for your family. CPR certification is planned, and I’d love to help!
“Teonnie was an amazing babysitter. She arrived early, was very accommodating, and extremely responsible. Jaxon felt comfortable with her right away and genuinely loved playing with her. She made him feel safe and happy, which in turn made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. She was dependable and reliable, and I would absolutely recommend her to any family.”
Hi! I am 25 years old, and moved to NYC in 2017 to attend NYU, where I received a degree in Public Policy and Spanish. I have been babysitting and nannying, all throughout high school, college, and postgrad. I have extensive experience working with kids 8months-13 years old and spent two years working for an education company teaching 5th-12th graders. I am trilingual, speaking English, Spanish, and Farsi. I am extremely patient and always reliable. I would be happy to help with homework and assist with chores around the house.
“Nadia is wonderful! She has been filling in for our nanny while she is on holiday. Our 2.5 loved her since her first visit, she is fun and creative. ”
Hello!! I live in Midtown East!! I’m a mom. I’m very active! I’ve raised an incredible young woman who is living in England. I have spent years taking care of babies, toddlers, kids, tweens, teens. Being a mom is a hard job but I love it! I love spending time with kids/babies and playing and teaching them. I can email you references from jobs that I had before and after this app if you’d like. Looking forward to meeting your family.
“Gaby has been a great addition to our family. Within minutes of meeting our 6 month old, she was sitting on the floor, playing with him. She talks to him throughout the day and keeps him happy and entertained. She's incredibly aware of his needs for sleep, food, and fun. She's also respectful of my wishes for caring for him. Gaby is also a tremendous help around the house, helping with keeping our counters, tabletops, and floors clean! She's easy to communicate with and flexible with start times. She's always on time and very dependable. So happy we have her!”

"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
