Hi there! I'm a senior in the Childhood Education program at Hunter College. I'm compassionate, patient, curious, and playful. I have extensive experience caring for children ages 2 to 11.

Brook $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a highly dependable and compassionate caregiver with a strong background in supporting individuals of all ages, from children to seniors, and even pets. My professional experience includes roles as a Certified Nursing Assistant, Patient Sitter, and Direct Support Professional, where I developed skills in providing attentive care, ensuring safety, and creating nurturing environments. Personally, I have years of experience caring for children, assisting elderly family members, and looking after pets, which has deepened my love for caregiving in all its forms. I hold certifications in Basic Life Support (CPR and AED) and Preventing and Managing Crisis Solutions (PMCS). I am also pursuing advanced education, including a BBA in Business Marketing and a Post-Baccalaureate in Pre-Med, which reflect my dedication to growth and learning. I genuinely love working with children, fostering their creativity, and supporting their development in safe, engaging environments. My time spent with seniors has taught me patience and empathy, while my experience with pets has made me attentive and caring to all living beings. Caregiving isn’t just a job for me—it’s my passion, and I take pride in creating positive experiences for those I care for.

Booked by 1 family in Little Silver, NJ

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.”

I'm a 37 year old mostly WFH advertising writer who loves dogs, cats, kids and has plenty of time to hang out with yours! I've pet sat since I was a kid and have always enjoyed helping out owners while getting quality time with a variety of fun pets. I live in Cobble Hill and am very close to several parks and paths where I love to walk. I’ve marked that I'm fine with pets being on the furniture (because who doesn’t love snuggles!) but we’ll enforce any rules you have for consistency.

“Sarah is an absolutely incredible dogsitter! She has watched my shiba inu, Goji, for several years and he is truly obsessed with her. Sarah is kind, responsible, reliable, and highly competent at dog care. We feel lucky to have found Sarah as a sitter and always trust that Goji is in good hands with her.”
