Artemis 3 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Ridgewood, 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! ”

Booked by 2 families in Ridgewood, NY

Hello! My name is Jocelyn, and I am a 23 year old student studying at New York City college of Technology. I speak Spanish and have over six years of experience in child supervision! My journey began as a summer camp counselor at the age of 17, later becoming a afterschool counselor. As an elementary school counselor my responsibilities have been to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all the children, leading arts and crafts activities and providing homework assistance. Watching them learn, grow, and get excited about new things makes working with children enjoyable. I also have over 2 years of sitting experience! Growing up as the oldest sister of two and cousin to two younger kids, I’ve always been a nurturing role model. I am fully vaccinated and willing to provide proof. I hope to hear from you soon, thank you!!

Booked by 6 families in Ridgewood, NY

Hi! My name is Lois. I am nanny/babysitter with 10+ years of experience. I have worked with a wide range of families and age ranges from infants to pre-teens. This has equipped me with a quick mind and adaptability for any situation. I love to combine my love of theater and knowledge to create engaging activities for kids that allow them to not only learn but expand their sense of self expression . I have some prior experience working with kids with on the spectrum, and I am CPR and First Aid Certified. Excited to meet you!

“Our family was so lucky to find Lois! During a 6 month project Lois came in and provided my two children (6 and 9) with after school care. Lois is prompt, kind and efficient. She was flexible with my evolving schedule and able to accommodate us during the random days off during the school year. Lois is incredibly fun, energetic and full of fantastic imaginative ideas. Always ready to run in the sunshine with both kids at the park, she was equally adept at making a rainy day fun. She played with both my creative story loving younger child, and could effortlessly flip over to a fun competitive game of pokemon or chess with my older child. There was always music and laughter. They never wanted her to leave.”

Booked by 13 families in Ridgewood, NY

Hi! My name is Cris I am from the Dominican Republic and I am based in Brooklyn. I have a BA in Anthropology + Social Practice. I have 4 years of experience in education: 2 years working in elementary after school programs as a creative writing teacher + 2 years as a full time middle school humanities teacher. Every summer for the last two years I have worked part time in a daycare, primarily caring for infants and toddlers. I currently work as an ELA teacher at an arts high school. I am passionate about community organization, art, literature, and learning. While enrolled in a research program in Costa Rica I worked in a small rural primary school as a teacher’s aid and English + Social Sciences instructor. I mostly worked with children ages 3-12 as well as children with special needs and disabilities. During this time I helped the school community organize fun and unique activities for the students and worked directly with parents to assist in their children's progress. Since then I have been part-time babysitting here in the states. My time working with children has taught me how to encourage, support, and provide a sense of safety and care. Overseeing both large and small classrooms has made me well equipped to handle and diffuse high stress situations with patience and caution. I would describe myself as a high energy, compassionate, patient sitter with a big heart. I enjoy teaching and reading to children, working on arts and crafts projects, and engaging their creativity. I am bi-lingual, I speak fluent English and Spanish. I am also happy to help with pet-care and domestic tasks such as laundry, light cleaning, errands, cooking meals, etc.

Booked by 3 families in Ridgewood, NY

Hi! I’m Laura, a Hunter College student double-majoring in Studio Art and Early Childhood Education, with 5+ years of experience caring for children ages 2–7. I’m passionate about creating warm, safe spaces where kids feel free to explore, express themselves, and grow. I love incorporating art and crafts into our time together and making learning feel like play! Summer availability: I’m available mornings through 2pm, with afternoon availability opening up July 6–26. Looking forward to connecting!

“Laura is an outstanding nanny/babysitter. Professional, punctual, adaptable, and above all very playful. She looked after our highly energetic and at some times very demanding 4 year old at a moment's notice and immediately was able to take him out for a day on the town without any time to acclimate. Played very well with our son who often requires non-stop action and attention. Very impressed how quickly Laura adapted to the situation with little preparation and hosted an amazing day for our child!”
