I have over thirty-five years taking care of children in New York City. I have worked with hundreds of children of all ages, but primarily under five years old.
Hello! I am a NYC-based professional dancer with a lot of childcare experience and I am looking for a temporary babysitting job! I have cared for children ranging from 2 years-11 years old and I am CPR certified as well. I am very responsible and have a very energetic and fun personality. In my free time I love to be outside and I love reading! I have very flexible and open summer availability!
Hello! My name is Jasmine and I’m offering babysitting services for all ages. I provide the perfect balance of fun, care, and routine. I know how important it is to make sure your kids stick to their routine, and I’ll be able to do that! I’m pretty funny and great at entertaining kids. Kids usually gravitate towards me! My inner child is very much alive so whether they’re going to the park or staying home, I’ll make sure the kids are occupied with games, story time, or homework. I have no problem helping with homework! By the time you get home, the homework will be done and toys will be cleaned up…unless they’re still playing of course. I went to Barnard College where I majored in psychology. I graduated in 2015. During my undergrad I was part of the Barnard Babysitting Agency for at least 3 years (I can't remember if I joined my freshman year or sophomore year). During that time I had several consistent babysitting jobs. I mostly had toddlers, but on occasion I had young children around 8 years old. I also babysat twin teenagers for a short time. I have experience changing diapers, cooking food, heating up food in a household with no microwave, and some housekeeping (dishes, tidying up). I have experience taking kids to afterschool activities like karate, the park, and the children's museum. To show I go the extra mile, I don’t have piano training, but I once helped one of the children I was babysitting practice their piano lessons. On that day he improved and I learned how to play Ol McDonald Had a Farm. In my family, I have a baby cousin who I have babysat since she was just a few months old (she's 13 now!) I’m great with kids and also pets! If you have a cat, dog, snake, bird, hamster, I’m a lover of all animals and I’m not allergic to any!
“Jasmine Ruiz has babysat my 13-year-old daughter, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her! Jasmine is kind, caring, responsible, and very personable. She has a natural ability to connect with teenagers and understands their language, interests, and personalities, which makes such a difference. My daughter feels comfortable, happy, and, most importantly, safe in Jasmine’s care. Jasmine is not someone who simply supervises children; she genuinely engages with them, plays games, interacts, and makes sure they have a great time. She is also a great cook and wonderful with animals, which is an added bonus! One of the qualities I appreciate most about Jasmine is her communication. At the end of each day, she provides thoughtful feedback about how everything went. She is very observant and vigilant, and if she notices any concerns, she makes sure parents are informed. As a mother, having someone who is trustworthy, attentive, nurturing, and genuinely enjoys spending time with children gives me tremendous peace of mind. I highly recommend Jasmine Ruiz to any family looking for a dependable, compassionate, and engaging babysitter. She is truly a gem! ❤️”
Hi - my name is Kristy, and I am a retired-teacher turned lawyer who is offering childcare, pet care, and/or tutoring services I love kids and have a lot of experience babysitting and tutoring. My youngest sister is nine years younger than me, so I started babysitting at 13 years old. I also was a kindergarten teacher for four years before I went to law school. I regularly watch my nephews, godsons, and niece. I also have tutored elementary aged students for over 10 years. In regards to pet care, I am a frenchie mom and love animals. I have watched friends and family members pets while they are out of town. I’m very responsible and caring. I also have a good sense of humor. Looking forward to meeting you.

Hi I'm Daché! I'm from the Bronx and attend at Lehman College. I offer child care and have limited availability while school is in session. What qualifies me as a great caregiver for children is that I have years of experience working in various settings (schools, camps, daycare programs) with children between the ages of 6mo-4 years. I also have personality traits that are congruent with providing great care like patience, compassion, attentiveness, and creativity. I am not currently certified in CPR but I am willing to redo it. I have also completed over 40 hours of trainings related to caring for children 0-5 years old and am happy to provide proof and references for past jobs. I am comfortable working with both dogs and cats in the home, and I can also perform light cleaning, run errands, meal prep for the child/children, etc.
