Hi! I’m Gaby — a caring, patient, and reliable babysitter with many years of hands-on experience. As a mom of a wonderful 23-year-old, I truly understand kids and their needs at every stage.

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.

Abby $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m an Art History major at the University of Virginia and currently a visiting student at NYU. I have several years of experience babysitting for family, friends, and younger cousins, as well as volunteering as a tutor for kids from pre-K through middle school. I love working with children and always aim to create a safe, fun, and engaging environment for them. I’m also a big animal lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. Last summer, I worked as a gallery assistant in South Carolina, where I managed the space independently—cleaning, organizing, and helping visitors. That role really taught me responsibility, reliability, and how to stay calm under pressure—qualities I bring to babysitting as well! I am correctly in New York from May 2025 - August 2025 I’d love the opportunity to support your family and get to know your little ones!
