August 2 reviews
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hey y'all! My name's August and I'm from Austin, Texas. I'm currently a student at the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at NYU and will be in New York for the entirety of the summer. I've taken care of children my whole life from siblings to neighbors, as well as children with disabilities. I'm quite extroverted and active so working with kids gives me lots of energy! I'm also great with animals, having both cats and dogs. I'm very attentive and truly care about going the extra mile to ensure both you and your loved ones feel safe and supported. I'm always willing to provide extra help around the house if needed!

August is friendly and trustworthy care provider. He sat often for us for our 7/8 year old and was happy taking our child to the park. He isn't a sitter that is on their phone all the time and is patient and supportive. He followed our directions and never cancelled. He has since moved away but we enthusiastically recommend him for child and pet care.

Hi! I’m Cat, a super bubbly, hands-on caregiver with 7+ years of childcare experience. I’ve worked with over 30 families in the Bastrop/Austin area, and I’ve spent the last 2 years as a full-time nanny. I’m CPR certified, dependable, and always bring positive energy into every home. I love being interactive with kids whether that’s playing games, helping with crafts, getting outside, or supporting routines. I’m confident with all ages, from infants to school-aged kiddos. I’m also an animal lover, so pets are always a bonus! I look forward to meeting your family and helping however I can! 💛

Corshaya $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Corshaya, but I go by Shaya/Shay. I’ve recently gotten back into babysitting as a side hustle, but have been sitting practically my whole life! I’m an aunt of 8 nieces/nephews, which has given me all the best experiences of caring for kids. I work and play volleyball at Roots VBC, where I sometimes get the opportunity to coach wonderful children, and share my known expertise. Recently being around kids all day, has opened my heart up to wanting to use it as an opportunity to help others or even give working parents a break when they need it. With that being said, coming from a big family of 9, I know the true meaning of “it takes a village”, and Id love to be apart of that village. Creating bonds and trust with your child(s), pets, elders, is the most rewarding part of doing what I do.

Sviatlana $25 per hour for 1 child

My first job in high school was at Kumon, where I tutored children one-on-one. I was exception at that job, and was assigned to work with children with disabilities. I babysat three different families in high school, all with multiple children. I went to Temple University where I studied Economics, studied abroad in Tokyo Japan, was President of Art Club, and took on an internship at the Municipality of Cuenca in Cuenca, Ecuador. I now work as a Consultant and am looking to spend my free time more wisely, and make some extra money. I am a daughter to an Art Teacher and have always been passionate about painting, sculpting, and being expressive. I prefer to spend time off screen, playing a board game, reading, being outside. I am very easy going and can get along with many different people. I have a lot of energy and genuinely feel happy to be helpful to others. I speak Russian and have experience helping my family members with administrative tasks due to a language barrier. I am empathetic to other people that struggle with certain things, or might need extra help to get something done. Someone would describe me as a friendly, positive, helpful, empathetic, nature-loving person.

"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!"
