Find infant babysitters in Sunnyside, NY

(New profile - waiting on reviews - can provide references) Hello! My name is Caroline, and I'm a writer originally from Dallas, Texas now living in the North Williamsburg/South Greenpoint area. I recently graduated from NYU and have a flexible work schedule, so I’m available for occasional or regular babysitting! I grew up as the 2nd oldest child (firstborn daughter) in a LARGE, multi-home blended family with animals constantly around, so I've been looking after other kids (and pets) since I was a kid myself :) I absolutely love working with kids because every day brings something new and rewarding—whether it’s seeing a child achieve a milestone or simply sharing a laugh. I have 8 years of regular caregiving experience for other families in both Texas and New York City. I've worked with children from infancy to high school age, including children with special needs/disabilities. I'm well-versed in sibling dynamics and open to providing hands-on care for 2-3 children at a time -- potentially more depending on the ages of the children and/or in nanny-share situations. I started babysitting at 14 during my high school years, which I spent serving my community as a peer mentor and "PAL" (peers in assistance, leadership, & service) for children who had ongoing personal hardships, suffered recent traumatic events, and/or were new to the school. I started working with kids of varied cognitive disabilities in grade school as apart of a volunteer special education program, so I am comfortable working with children who have differentiating physical and/or mental functionalities. I believe that play is one of the best ways for kids to learn and grow, so I love creating fun, imaginative activities that engage kids while helping them develop new skills. I'm happy to help with homework (bonus: I'm trilingual) in any subject, to the best of my ability. I’m not a "passive" sitter - I love to keep kids engaged, and am committed to facilitating and maintaining their routines. I'm a big believer in bedtime stories, positivity, and patience. Other bonuses: I've cared for sick or wounded animals at home and volunteering at an animal sanctuary, and worked as a petsitter/dog-walker 10-15 hrs/wk while in college. Every child and home is unique. I want to be as attuned to their/your needs and preferences as possible, so please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to schedule a call or meeting.

Hi, I’m Melissa! I am a preschool teacher, and I have two nephews (ages 4 and 5) who keep me on my toes. I love museums, Chuck E. Cheese, or just hanging out doing crafts and reading stories. I’m easygoing and great with routines. I want kids to feel happy and at ease while we hang out.

Hello! My name is Maggie, and I am a new resident of NYC, moving from DC! I am a professional dancer, arts administrator, and teaching artist who is passionate about using dance and movement to heal, empower, and connect individuals & communities. I have been working with children of all ages & abilities in an educational capacity for almost 10 years now, mainly through dance education, after school programs, and academic enrichment. I have been teaching dance to children in various spaces and capacities (dance studio, community centers, elementary and middle schools, theaters, etc.) since I was 16 years old. In DC, I worked as an Aftercare Lead Artist, creating and facilitating academic and arts enrichment curriculum for children K-3. Additionally, I worked as a Lead Artist for Dance Exchange, teaching creative dance to intergenerational groups of people, including youths and their parents, grandparents, etc. I have plenty of experience working with older adults through creative aging programs. I am a certified Behavior Health Technician and have worked with children on the Autism spectrum, teaching academic and life skills, as well as creating engaging experiences for them to connect and express through dance! I have worked for years as a Lifeguard & Swim Instructor, so I have lots of experience when it comes to the safety and well-being of children of all ages. Finally, I have worked various jobs specifically in childcare and babysitting, mainly for family, friends, colleagues, and individuals in the dance community. I absolutely adore and respect children and consider myself an engaging, active, fun, personable, empathetic, calm, kind, and joyous person and caregiver. I very much believe in following the lead of the child - their interests, their passions, their curiosities. Child-led play and experiential learning show up in how I work with children in any and all capacities, including caregiving. We can read, work on homework, do arts and crafts, sing and dance, play outside, whatever the child would like to do and however I can help them grow, big or small! I am completely up-to-date on all vaccinations, including COVID-19 (boosters included). I am a native English speaker and can speak basic conversational Spanish. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions, and I look forward to hearing from you soon and meeting you and your wonderful kiddos!

Hi, I'm Bruna! I’ve worked with kids of all ages. I’ve been a summer camp counselor, subbed in schools (elementary, middle, even hs) and was a daycare/pre-school TA. I speak Portuguese and conversational Spanish if you’re interested in language exposure.

Hi there! I’m a registered nurse, aunt, and a proud dog mom! I began my healthcare career as a CNA in a nursing home while in nursing school, where I learned the importance of patience, compassion, and hands-on care. After becoming an RN, I worked with psychiatric patients and also completed training as a school nurse, giving me valuable experience caring for children and managing their health needs in a supportive & structured setting. Currently, I work at a medical spa, but nurturing others will always be close to my heart. Whether it’s soothing your baby to sleep, sparking imagination through stories, helping with homework, exploring the outdoors, or sharing laughter over something silly. I’m passionate about creating a safe, uplifting space where kids feel loved, confident, and free to grow. I’m also passionate about shaping the future generation and enjoy guiding kids through challenges with patience and empathy. I’d be honored to bring warmth, reliability, and genuine care into your home. 💕
