Christopher $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Chris, a Cornell University graduate and Youth Engagement Specialist with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teens. I also have younger siblings who are over 10 years younger than me, and I helped care for them throughout their upbringing. I specialize in evening, weekend, and date-night childcare, and I enjoy creating a calm, safe, and engaging environment for children while parents are out. I’m dependable, easygoing, and comfortable with bedtime routines, meals, playtime, and light household support as needed. I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family. Feel free to view my intro video to learn more about me, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!

Hello! I would describe myself as patient, friendly, understanding, reliable, and great with kids :) Feel free to ask for the contact info of my references! As of right now, I am the regular sitter for 4-year old & 10-month old sisters. I am seeking occasional/one-time jobs for when I have availability. I previously worked at Breindy Active Fitness. I would watch 2-8 kids at once, all under 3, and many were newborns. I have experience playing with children, calming them from tears, feeding them, changing diapers, reading with/to children, night-time & day-time routines, and more. In my senior year of high school I interned at the Jewish Community Center Day Care. I was a teacher aide for a classroom of 5 year olds. One of the kids had special needs. In high school, I was a part of a club that contained kids with autism and kids without autism. We did many different bonding activities together that exercised my capacity for patience and understanding. I raised with a dog and a cat in the house for over 12 years and consistently took care of them. I often dog sit/cat sit/house sit for my friends when they are on a trip. I grew up very active and played on the Volleyball, Swim, and Rugby Teams at school. I also danced ballet for 10+ years. I love arts & crafts and playing! Also my major was English Literature, so I love stories and reading.

Hi I'm Einstein, some prefer Frankie but all nicknames are welcome! I have been sitting for 8+ consecutive years CPR + First Aid Certified. I am reliable, responsible, and joy with your little ones. Whatever your needs, I'm here to help! As a volunteer youth counselor and lifelong caregiver, supervisors and parents have always recognized my great communication and innate ability to form a bond with any child. I am from a family of healthcare professionals and growing up I took on the role of caring for my newborn little brother. I've spent years honing my skills as l helped raise my little brother alongside my parents then responsible for babysitting other young relatives as well as the kids of neighboring families and friends known to prioritize their safety, health, and happiness!

“Einstein did a great job and really went above and beyond deep cleaning out apartment! Plus she’s just a joy to be around and I felt so comfortable having her in our home.”

Samantha 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sam, and I’m 22 years old. I’m currently a college student pursuing a career as a paramedic. I’ve been working as a nanny and babysitter for nearly four years, and I truly love caring for children. I enjoy doing crafts, baking, and going on little adventures that make learning fun and engaging. Creating a safe, positive, and happy environment for kids is very important to me. I’m also a big animal lover and have three pets of my own!

“Sam has worked with our family for several years and has been truly wonderful. She’s helped care for our two children since they were very young and our kids absolutely love her. She is always dependable and such a kind person. Our kids are always out on fun activities around the city with Sam, and they love spending time with her. Even as our kids have grown, she’s still an active part of our lives. We trust her completely and would highly recommend her to any family.”
