Artemis 3 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in New York, NY

Hi! I’m a college student in my junior year The New School in NYC studying Culture and Media Studies with a minor in Fashion Communications at Parsons. I’m responsible, friendly, patient, and dependable, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I’m comfortable helping with things like playtime, homework, meals and snacks, bedtime routines, and keeping kids entertained and engaged. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks, errands, pet care, and general tidying when needed. I’m organized, attentive, and easygoing, while still being responsible and able to follow a family’s routines and instructions. I have a busy school and internship schedule during the week, so I’m especially interested in part-time, occasional, date-night, Friday, and weekend opportunities that I can build a consistent relationship with a family through. I’d love to connect with families looking for someone reliable, caring, and flexible to help make their lives a little easier!

“Artemis helped us with a last minute babysitter scramble and was so lovely to have. She was early and eager to know all the details of the girls routine. Our daughters, 10 and 7.5, had a great time with Artemis and are already asking when she will be back. Highly recommend! ”

Hi! My name is Andrea and I would be happy to help you care for your children. I am 28 years old and a current university student at Baruch College studying business with a flexible schedule. My experience with children begins from 2[removed]. I have worked with a 14 month old, and two brothers ages 6 and 9 throughout the years. I have also worked as a Teacher's Assistant for after-school religion classes (CCD), and tutored children from low-income groups. Working with your children would be a great opportunity for me and I'd be happy to help you! I am able to provide you my recent reference to further support my qualifications. Hope to hear from you! Thanks

“Andrea helped watch my daughters (11 and 12), and they loved her. She’s calm, sweet, and communicative with them. They enjoy their time with her.”

Booked by 5 families in New York, NY

Hi, I’m Kyundra! I’m 27 and have been working in and out of childcare since 2016. I’ve lived in NYC for the past five years and have loved every minute of getting to know families across the city. Since moving here, I’ve worked in several childcare settings including 4K classrooms with the DOE, after-school programs, and as a trusted babysitter for families with children of all ages. What I love most about working with kids is getting to know their unique personalities and finding ways to connect with each one. Whether it’s through creative play, helping with routines, or supporting learning and independence, I always strive to make children feel seen, supported, and safe. I’m also comfortable around pets (I have a sweet cat named Viola who keeps me company at home!) and I’m open to light household help. While I don’t have a personal car, I do have my license and am happy to travel by public transportation anywhere I’m needed. In my free time, you’ll usually find me hanging out with friends, watching movies, or spending time with Viola. I truly love what I do and would be so excited to get to know you and your family. Please feel free to message me with any questions, I’d love to connect!
