Booked by 3 families in Brooklyn, NY

Hi! My name is Allison, and I’m currently offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I live in Cobble Hill and have been babysitting in Brooklyn through word of mouth since 2023. Over the years, I’ve built a network of 25+ families that I’ve babysat for, caring for children of all different ages and needs. I’m also happy to help with last-minute childcare requests whenever my schedule allows! I genuinely love spending time with kids and enjoy keeping them engaged with crafts, playing outside, trips to the park, reading, games, and helping with homework. I’m comfortable jumping into a family’s routine and am happy to help with whatever makes your day a little easier. I’m also available for household services, including laundry, cooking, light cleaning, organizing, and running errands. I’m a pet lover as well and am happy to care for dogs and cats. I have experience with both and would be happy to help care for your pets! I’m reliable, flexible, and happy to be a helping hand for your family, whether you need regular childcare, an occasional date-night sitter, or someone to step in for a last-minute request.

Booked by 2 families in Brooklyn, NY

Hello! My name is Jocelyn, and I am a 23 year old student studying at New York City college of Technology. I speak Spanish and have over six years of experience in child supervision! My journey began as a summer camp counselor at the age of 17, later becoming a afterschool counselor. As an elementary school counselor my responsibilities have been to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all the children, leading arts and crafts activities and providing homework assistance. Watching them learn, grow, and get excited about new things makes working with children enjoyable. I also have over 2 years of sitting experience! Growing up as the oldest sister of two and cousin to two younger kids, I’ve always been a nurturing role model. I am fully vaccinated and willing to provide proof. I hope to hear from you soon, thank you!!

Booked by 2 families in Brooklyn, NY

Hello, I’m Halema! I’m attending Hofstra University on a Pre-PT track. I’ve been involved in child care throughout my life. I’ve been babysitting for over 5 years and took part in various environments that required me to take care of children. Such environments would be coaching, tutoring, and volunteering at elementary schools. I’m certified in CPR and First Aid. I would describe myself as patient, responsible, and engaging. I’m based in Hempstead during the school year but am from Brooklyn. I can provide references/recommendations of my services. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your family!

“Halema is fantastic! She was warm and upbeat, professional, and went above and beyond what we asked her to do while caring for our three year-old. Our kiddo had a great time with her and she was communicative with photos and updates. I would definitely recommend her to other families looking for a warm and reliable sitter and will book her again! ”

Currently a media professional, I’ve always loved caring for others. I grew up with the mindset that if you take care of your community, your community will take care of you. I worked at my family’s daycare center for 5 years while in high school and some throughout college. While in college a volunteered at an underserved after school program, where I established a library and secured grants to expand the program. Working with families and children, while helping them flourish has always been a passion.

“My dog is really shy and anxious, but bonded really well with Olivia. She sent photos and videos throughout to show me he was having the best time!”

Booked by 3 families in Brooklyn, NY

I'm a warm, loving, energetic and young at heart childcare professional, and passionate about giving high-quality care. Besides free play, I create activities that are both fun and educational, and incorporate music and art into a child’s day. I cultivate a safe, warm, and comfortable environment in which children can learn, develop, and express themselves while also nurturing social skills. I’m experienced at establishing routines and setting rules and boundaries in a gentle manner, always using positive language. Before I became a childcare professional, I first had two children of my own, a girl and a boy, two years apart. Raising them has been my biggest endeavor and accomplishment so far. They are now in college. It was the passion of raising my own two children, and my desire to understand how I could best support them on their way to become well-rounded and successful adults, which inspired me to to study and earn a B.A. in Early Childhood Education and turn this passion into my profession.  During my 10yrs of working with children ranging in age from newborn to 9yrs old, I was as a nanny of an infant with a sibling, a group teacher of 25 kids, a care teacher for a pod of 4, including twins, and a co-teacher for 6 kids, 18mo-5yrs. These varied experiences with children, both in private homes and teaching in more formal preschool settings, as well as parenting, has equipped me with a unique blend of insights and skills, ideal for nurturing and educating children.  I particularly enjoy working with babies, toddlers and preschoolers, and have proven many times, that I am able to take care of multiple children at a time, whether they are twins, or siblings different ages. Additionally, I would like to stress, that I am not only fluent in English, but German and French as well, should you wish to expose your children to other languages.  Besides childcare I am happy to help with kid's laundry, keeping their rooms organized and clean, doing light housekeeping, cooking and baking, both healthy, child-friendly, and if desired vegetarian. In my private time I enjoy cooking nutritious and delicious recipes, including various dips, spreads and sugar-free treats, always adding to my little recipe repertoire for children. I also like to stay physically active with riding bike, pilates, swimming and dancing. I'm looking for additional babysitting 10am-3pm weekdays and weekday evenings from 7pm/7:15 on, with occasional weekends.

“I am so grateful to have found Claudia to help with my newborn during my postpartum recovery and solo parenting when my partner went back to work. She has been absolutely wonderful with my newborn, and I can’t recommend her enough. From the very first time she came, she made an effort to understand his needs, which made us feel at ease. She’s a calming presence, reliable, punctual, and always goes above and beyond to make sure my bebe is well taken care of while I get to take a break. What I appreciate most is her genuine connection with my child. She engages in a variety of activities during his wake windows and has techniques for soothing him to sleep. I’ve also noticed how attentive she is to his comfort and well-being, which gives me peace of mind. It’s clear that Claudia has a natural way with children, and I’m so thankful to have someone so trustworthy and caring looking after my son. I know he is in good hands, and that means everything to me as a parent. Highly recommend!”
