Lizzie $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lizzie and I have recently moved to New York City and I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 and have experience nannying and caring for children of all ages. One family I’ve worked with has been part of my life for nearly 10 years, giving me the opportunity to care for several of their children from as young as 3 months old. I have also spent time nannying where I have been responsible for cooking meals, helping with homework, driving to and from school/extracurriculars, and assisting with chores. I also have 6 years of experience house and dog sitting, so I’m comfortable caring for pets and keeping a home tidy and organized while you’re away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, and I love cooking, organizing, and helping wherever I can. I’m responsible, dependable, and looking forward to getting to know your family!

Booked by 1 family in Passaic, NJ

Hello! My name is Phoebe, and I'm currently based in Manhattan. Prior to moving to NYC, I lived in Colorado, where I studied Sociology at CU Boulder. I love working with kids, and have experiences nannying with all ages. I've worked as a camp counselor for many years, so I'm pretty handy when it comes to outdoor games and activities! I also love to cook, and love getting kids involved in cooking, crafts, and other fun activities. I am happy to help with Travel, Housekeeping, and Cooking!

Bianca $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated, responsible, and caring person with over 5 years of experience working directly with children of different ages. I enjoy creating a welcoming and fun environment where they can feel safe and stimulated. I am patient and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I have strong references and am available to talk. In addition to childcare, I can also assist with basic household tasks, especially those related to the children, such as meal preparation, tidying up play areas, and helping with their daily routines. In my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to music, spending time outdoors, and being with family and friends. I also appreciate creative activities such as crafts and cooking, which I often incorporate into play and activities with children.

Cinthia $25 per hour for 1 child

I'm an enthusiastic childcare provider with two years of experience caring for children of various ages. I'm passionate about fostering children's growth and development, and I find great joy in positively impacting their lives. I have a friendly and approachable personality, and I'm very comfortable communicating with parents about their child's day or any issues that arise. I do this via regular updates and verbal communication at pickup. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules and enjoy playing a variety of games with children, such as educational games that promote learning, board games and puzzles, and outdoor sports and physical games. I have some college education, currently working on my bachelors degree and am CPR and First Aid certified. I'm also bilingual and speak both English and Spanish. I hope to meet you and your child soon, and I look forward to providing them with a safe, nurturing, and fun environment.
