Meadow 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Meadow, I am 24 and just moved from Wisconsin. I graduated a few years ago with a business management degree. I have been babysitting since I was in middle school, I was also a full time Nanny 2 years ago during the summer. I come from a big family and have always been around kids. I currently work as a barista and we have a playroom available so I am still working with kids daily. With former families that I have worked with, I have assisted in helping with homework, getting the kids ready for school or bedtime, cooking, cleaning and walking them to school. I am comfortable with cats and dogs as well.

“Meadow is competent, trustworthy, patient and kind. My son takes awhile to warm up to people and he quickly connected with Meadow. She understood his feelings, was empathetic and patient with him. She found topics to connect with him and they built a fun relationship. She also was great with my daughter (9) who could talk with Meadow for hours. I highly recommend her and have full confidence in her skills and abilities with kids of all ages.”

Ariana $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in New York, NY

Hi! My name is Ariana and I’m a responsible and energetic caregiver with years of hands-on experience working with kids in a variety of settings. I’ve spent summers at a relaxed arts and crafts camp for children ages 7–13, leading creative projects, outdoor games, and group activities. I’ve also coached youth soccer for kids ages 3–12, focusing on teamwork, fun, and skill-building. During high school, I worked as a certified lifeguard for four years, which taught me strong safety awareness and emergency readiness — qualities I bring to every caregiving role. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve regularly cared for younger family members and love connecting with kids through creativity, sports, and play. I’m currently finishing my degree at Barnard College of Columbia University, where I’ve continued to nurture my love for learning and teaching. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or just being a calm and supportive presence, I aim to make kids feel safe, seen, and engaged. Above all, I strive to be as helpful as possible to the families I work with. I’m dependable, patient, and always ready to support in whatever way I can.
