Nicole $21 per hour for 1 child

Experienced and reliable 21-year-old babysitter with over five years of hands-on childcare experience. From a young age, I’ve been the go-to babysitter for family, friends, and neighbors, caring for children of all ages. I officially started babysitting at 16 and have since worked extensively with pre-school and elementary-aged kids, providing attentive, engaging, and nurturing care. Whether helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or ensuring a smooth bedtime routine, I strive to create a safe and enjoyable environment for every child I look after. Currently a senior at Adelphi University, I will be starting dental school at the end of the summer. I have my own car for reliable transportation, making pick-ups, drop-offs, and last-minute scheduling easy. I’m fluent in both English and Russian and also comfortable around pets, as I have two dogs of my own. My experience, patience, and genuine love for working with children make me a dependable choice for any family in need of a caring and responsible babysitter.

Lola $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Lola and I feel tremendous respect for children as they are so free and spontaneous; great teachers :) .. my experience is based on caring for my own son (now 21 years old); my niece and nephews (now 18-21 years old). I was a stay at home mom most of the time so I lived the experience by raising children and also being the recurring host for all their friends as well :). I helped them with homework and study for all school years, cooked and fed them; took care of all their needs and extra curricular activities; they are now in College and also hold each one high degrees in different fields like: black belt on MMA; college soccer; professional soccer; electric guitar player; artist (drawer/painter). I am very cautious and pay attention to detail; follow instructions; communicate well and in a timely manner. I also love music, dancing, playing, walking, going to the park; reading, baking :), blowing bubbles; help with school work. I am fluent in English and Spanish; I have a bachelors degree in Economics and I am also a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. I also own a dog myself :) his name is Cristiano and he is very happy and spoiled. Please fell free to ask about any questions or concerns that you may have :)
