Find infant babysitters in Astoria, NY

I grew up in a small town in Missouri and attended the University of Missouri-Columbia. I graduated with a degree in Theatre. I am the oldest in my family and took care of my younger brothers, as well as younger cousins, growing up. From age 13 through high school, I babysat for a local family who had six kids all between the ages of 7 and newborn. I taught dance through high school and my first two years of college. I taught 3-5 year olds as well as pre-teens and teenagers. I am happy to help with homework and projects or anything else they may need!

Hello and welcome to my profile! My name is Carolina, I’m a 31 year old dog lover and passionate about fashion and beauty. I’ve always loved babies and kids, and have been a babysitter for 14 years, started with local families in my hometown when I was in High School, and continued doing it for families around New York since I moved to the city in 2018. I am CPR and First Aid certified (willing to provide proof) and have 16 years of experience with all ages from newborns to teenagers. I always decide and adapt the activities I do with them according to their age and interests, but some of my favorite things to do with the kids are: - Teaching them Spanish - Spending time outdoors at parks or playgrounds - Drawing, crafting, and reading - Building legos, blocks, or puzzles - Baking and cooking IMPORTANT: - I was a preemie baby and I catch viruses and colds easily, so I cannot babysit sick babies/kids. BOOKING POLICIES: If the booking starts later or ends earlier than expected, I still expect the payment for the original booking agreed. CANCELLATIONS: For cancellations with less than 48 hours notice, I require 50% of the original booking amount and for the ones with less than 24 hours notice, 100% of the original booking amount, which can be paid via Zelle or Venmo. Feel free to send a message if you have any questions. I am very much looking forward to meeting you and your children.

Hey there, future families! I'm Vashti, and I'm excited to introduce myself. I've had the pleasure of caring for little ones from toddlers to teens, making each day an adventure. I'm here for tweekends when you need an extra hand, and if my schedule allows, I'd love to help out on date nights too. In my free time, you'll often find me aimlessly strolling through the city, and pedaling on a trusty Citibike. Just a friendly heads-up: if our day together stretches past 10:00 pm, I'd appreciate your help covering half of my Uber ride home. Looking forward to getting to know your family better! 😊

Hi there! Thank you for considering me. Here’s a bit about me: I am a former elementary school special education teacher in which I have 6 years of experience. Last year, I transitioned out my teaching role and now own a travel agency. Now that I'm no longer in the classroom I primarily support families with providing occasional care for after school, family nights out, last minute cancellations, as well as nannying abroad. UrbanSitter has given me the opportunity to continue supporting families and use my educator skills in a variety of settings. I am oldest sister of 3 and was the primary sitter for my brothers growing up. They inspired me to become a teacher and bring love and compassion into the classroom, and now anywhere I go. I have experience with infants, toddlers and elementary age children. I am able to change diapers, follow feeding directions and complete a variety of care routines as needed. I offer virtual homework help and tutoring services as well. Feel free to message me about this to discuss rate if interested.
