Ashley $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ashley, and I am a 23-year-old Northwestern University graduate who has extensive experience in child care. As a previous full-time camp coordinator, tutor, children's dance instructor, and theatrical performer for young audiences, I love engaging with children and meeting them where they are at. I am very experienced with NYC public transportation, so I am able to do pick-ups and drop-offs at school, extracurriculars, playdates, etc. I am also super organized and clean, so taking care of household tasks is a plus!

Francesca $23 per hour for 1 child

Currently a full-time nanny for a 4-year-old boy. Looking for extra hours on days I am not with him. I'd describe my personality as outgoing, adventurous, and fun. I love meeting new people and bringing positive energy into everything I do. I'm especially passionate about working with kids because they're curious, honest, and full of life. It's so rewarding to help them grow and to see the world through their eyes. I started babysitting when I was 12, helping with date nights and after-school care. At 16, I worked a full summer as a camp counselor, where I built strong communication and leadership skills while forming real connections with the kids. I'm looking for a babysitting job that fits my student schedule and lets me build strong relationships with kids while supporting their creativity and confidence. Families should know that if I care for their kids, I'll end up loving their kids and forming a real bond. I'm dependable, patient, and always aim to create a fun, safe space where kids feel comfortable being themselves.

Melissa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Melissa, a 27 year old longtime babysitter, newly back in the U.S. after three years in London. I’ve been babysitting for over 10 years, with experience ranging from toddlers to early teens. I first became the go-to sitter in my neighborhood growing up in Philadelphia, and word quickly spread - my parents’ coworkers started calling on me too! Over the years, I’ve also taken on pet-sitting duties for both dogs and cats, sometimes for a few days and other times for several weeks at a time. I’m responsible, communicative, and deeply respectful of the routines and values that matter to each family. Whether it’s about technology rules, food habits, learning styles, or anything else, I believe it’s important to honor the tone and philosophy of the household I’m stepping into. Outside of babysitting, I’m a young professional who recently moved back from London to pursue a career pivot from a finance job into music (one of my lifelong passions). I am also currently getting ready to move into my first solo apartment (big milestone!), and I’m looking to make some extra income doing something I genuinely love: supporting families and spending time with kids. If you’re looking for someone warm, reliable, and adaptable with a global perspective (and a big appetite for fun!) I’d love to connect.
