Find infant babysitters in Elmhurst, NY

(New profile - waiting on reviews - can provide references) Hello! My name is Caroline, and I'm a writer originally from Dallas, Texas now living in the North Williamsburg/South Greenpoint area. I recently graduated from NYU and have a flexible work schedule, so I’m available for occasional or regular babysitting! I grew up as the 2nd oldest child (firstborn daughter) in a LARGE, multi-home blended family with animals constantly around, so I've been looking after other kids (and pets) since I was a kid myself :) I absolutely love working with kids because every day brings something new and rewarding—whether it’s seeing a child achieve a milestone or simply sharing a laugh. I have 8 years of regular caregiving experience for other families in both Texas and New York City. I've worked with children from infancy to high school age, including children with special needs/disabilities. I'm well-versed in sibling dynamics and open to providing hands-on care for 2-3 children at a time -- potentially more depending on the ages of the children and/or in nanny-share situations. I started babysitting at 14 during my high school years, which I spent serving my community as a peer mentor and "PAL" (peers in assistance, leadership, & service) for children who had ongoing personal hardships, suffered recent traumatic events, and/or were new to the school. I started working with kids of varied cognitive disabilities in grade school as apart of a volunteer special education program, so I am comfortable working with children who have differentiating physical and/or mental functionalities. I believe that play is one of the best ways for kids to learn and grow, so I love creating fun, imaginative activities that engage kids while helping them develop new skills. I'm happy to help with homework (bonus: I'm trilingual) in any subject, to the best of my ability. I’m not a "passive" sitter - I love to keep kids engaged, and am committed to facilitating and maintaining their routines. I'm a big believer in bedtime stories, positivity, and patience. Other bonuses: I've cared for sick or wounded animals at home and volunteering at an animal sanctuary, and worked as a petsitter/dog-walker 10-15 hrs/wk while in college. Every child and home is unique. I want to be as attuned to their/your needs and preferences as possible, so please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to schedule a call or meeting.

My name is Sofia, I'm 24 years old and I've been babysitting since I was 15 years old. I absolutely love children and animals, and can't wait to have children of my own some day. I graduated from Scripps College during Spring 2023. The families I have babysat for in the past describe me as kind, loving, responsible, communicative, and encouraging. I grew up abroad and babysat for an American family twice a week in high school, ages 6 and 10; I babysat a family friend's 4 year old over the summer when I was 17 years old; and most recently, I was a regular babysitter for a family in California as a college student, ages 5 and 8. I am half Japanese/half Russian and feel very comfortable in multicultural familial environments. I like to connect with children as my equal, while maintaining a responsible and trusting relationship. I also have grown up around animals and have experience pet/house sitting. I love to cook for myself and would be happy to cook nutritious and delicious meals for your children! I am happy to meet your family's needs, whether this involves children, animals, or cleaning duties/errands. I look forward to speaking with you soon!

Hii! I am Helia, and I am a student at Pratt Institute. I love children, and growing up I helped out a lot with taking care of family friends' kids, which included watching over them and playing and crafting with them. I also have a lot of experience working at children's language classes as a teacher's assistant. I have worked for both summer camps and weekly few-hour classes. These jobs mainly include assisting with outdoor activities, feeding the children, and making sure they are all safe throughout the day. The ages of the children usually vary between 6 and 14. I also have some experience volunteering at a kindergarten for a summer, where I had similar tasks to the language classes, except these children were between the ages of 3 and 6. I offer pet care as well, which I have a lot of experience in due to growing up as a pet owner myself. I have a cat and a dog, so I am comfortable with both. I am also fluent in both Hungarian and Farsi, so I am comfortable working with those languages. I also speak elementary German, Korean and Japanese.
