Hello! I’m a warm, patient, and reliable college student who loves working with children of all ages. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, which helps me connect with families and kids in the language they feel most comfortable with. I enjoy creating fun and educational activities, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, and keeping daily routines smooth.

D’ana New York
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m D’ana 😊 I’m a college student finishing my junior year and currently work as a teacher’s assistant in a Pre-K classroom with the NYC Department of Education. I have 2+ years of babysitting experience with children from 8 months to 8 years old, including caring for multiple kids at once. Working in both home and classroom settings has helped me build a strong balance of being fun, patient, and structured. I love keeping kids engaged through creative activities like arts & crafts, games, and hands-on learning. I also help with homework especially reading and writing and always try to make learning feel fun and encouraging. I’m looking for part-time babysitting where I can build meaningful connections with families while providing safe, reliable, and attentive care. A little about me: I have a dog named Cleo 🐶 and I’m currently challenging myself to read 100 books this year (I’m already at 15!).
