Victoria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Victoria and I’m a recent college graduate work in banking, but I have always had a passion for working with children. My main goals will always be to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child. Over the years, I’ve gained 2-3 years of experience through babysitting for family and friends, as well as volunteering at local elementary schools as well working at a day care for 2 years. I also am a soccer coach for kids ages 5-8! I’m responsible, patient, and enjoy engaging children in creative activities like arts and crafts, reading, and outdoor play. I also understand the importance of following routines, offering emotional support, and ensuring safety at all times. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and provide a caring and reliable experience for your children or pets! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss how I can be of help!

Hi, my name is Adriana and I am an elementary school teacher on the Upper East Side. I just finished my 6th year of teaching and I have experience teaching 3rd-5th grade. My experience with working with children ages 4-14 dates back to when I was in high school when I taught dance classes at my dance studio. I also worked as a camp counselor at a 7 week sleep away camp in Maine for three summers during college. I love babysitting and tutoring kids between the ages of 4 and 14.

Charlet $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Charlet! I’m originally from Portland and now a student at Fordham University here in NYC. I’ve spent the last five years caring for children from infants to age 16 through babysitting as well as some full-time nannying. Caring for kids comes naturally to me, I love to help create a warm, clean, calm, and fun environment where young people feel safe, encouraged, and excited to explore. I’m confident with daily routines, including cleaning, meals, naps, school pickups/dropoffs, bedtime, and playtime. I value clear, consistent communication with parents and always strive to support whatever rhythm works best for your family. I’m CPR certified, reliable, and truly enjoy forming long-lasting, trusting relationships with the families I work with. I’d be happy to provide references, and I’d love to connect with you and your family.

Rosaria 2 reviews
$12 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in New York, NY

Hello! My name is Rosaria, and I’m currently a student at NYU studying Theater and Social Sciences. I’ve always loved working with kids and creating environments where they feel comfortable, safe, heard, and able to be themselves. I have experience working with children of many different ages through babysitting and as a camp counselor at a music summer camp, where I worked with campers ages 8–16. I led improv games, arts and crafts activities, music-based activities, and helped create a fun and welcoming environment for all campers. Working with children has also always been a part of my life because my mom has been a full-time nanny for over 30 years. Since I was 16, I’ve helped assist her with caring for children and babies of all ages (with permission from families), and through that experience, I learned how important patience, communication, attentiveness, and trust are when caring for kids. I love engaging kids through reading, imaginative play, sketching, LEGO builds, card games, crafts, and making stories feel interactive, creative, and fun. I cook and meal prep for myself often and genuinely love cooking and baking. I’d always be happy to prepare meals/snacks or even make cooking a fun activity with your child when appropriate! I also have experience cat-sitting and caring for pets, so I’m very comfortable in homes with animals as well.

“Rosaria has watched our children (ages 5 and 8) several times, and we’ve always had a great experience. She’s reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. Our kids immediately connected with her and are always excited when she comes over. She does a great job keeping them engaged, whether they’re playing games, reading, or using their imaginations. We especially appreciate how present and attentive she is with them. It’s clear she genuinely enjoys working with children. We trust her completely and would happily recommend her to other families.”
