Hi! I’m an 18-year-old college freshman at Sarah Lawrence College studying Art History and Psychology. I’ve been babysitting for families throughout high school, and even before that, I regularly helped out neighbors and family friends. I grew up in a close-knit community in California, so I’ve always been surrounded by little ones and genuinely love being around kids. I’m excited to bring that same energy and experience to new families here in New York!
Hello my name is Ally. I am currently a college student part-time. I love to babysit and have been watching kids for a long time. I love to travel, bake, and graphic design.
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. I’m very safety-focused, respectful of house rules, and easy to communicate with. My goal is always to make children feel happy, supported, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind.
Hi! My name is Rac-Khyla, I’m a 22 year old pharmacy technician. On my off days I’d babysit my younger cousins that used to live with, a 1 year old and a 3 year old. I’m a reliable and caring babysitter who loves working with kids. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on creating a safe, fun, and positive environment. I enjoy helping with homework, playtime, even bedtime routines, and I treat every child as if they were my own siblings or cousins. Parents can count on me to be responsible, respectful, and trustworthy.

"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."
