Karthy $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a college student with years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve been babysitting for family and family friends since I was 9, and caring for kids has always come naturally to me. I’m patient, responsible, and very engaging. I love doing crafts, games, reading, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I’m comfortable with bedtime routines, preparing simple meals, and keeping the home tidy after activities. My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and positive environment so parents can feel completely at ease while they’re away. I’m especially great with toddlers and elementary-aged kids and I’m happy to care for multiple children at once. I’m available for evenings, weekends, and date nights in NYC and North Jersey, and I respond quickly to messages here.
