Michelle $20 per hour for 1 child

I am an animal advocate and love them dearly. I am a special education teacher. I have my own animals and bring animals into my classroom and they are wonderful additions to my classroom and my students. I have rescued over 45 bunnies all different breeds and found them loving homes. I have personally fostered kittens, guinea pigs and bottle fed different types of birds. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds (parakeets, love birds, green cheek conures and cockatiels). When I was in high school I worked in an exotic pet store. I will treat your babies as I treat mine with love and care. I treat my animals as if they were my children. If you would like to schedule a meeting please contact me.[removed]. Please ask me any questions. I am also fingers printed. Thank you for reading my bio, Michelle

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.

Alexa $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m Alexa, a nurturing, playful, and dependable caregiver with years of hands-on childcare experience. From daycares, teaching, babysitting and now a nanny for a private family of two years my experience is pretty well-rounded and has given me the skills to adapt to each child’s unique needs with ease and care. I love creating safe, engaging environments where kids can play, learn, and grow with care. From imaginative play and outdoor adventures I’m all about giving children my full attention and making every day both fun and structured. Families describe me as reliable, and genuinely connected to the little ones I care for. I bring patience, creativity, and a big heart to everything I do and your child’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority!

Chrystal $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi – My name is Chrystal, and I offer child care services. I have about 3 years of experience working with children with autism and various backgrounds in the classroom setting. I genuinely enjoy working with kids and aim to create a safe, warm, and engaging environment where they feel comfortable and supported. I enjoy photography and engaging in creative activities such as arts and crafts, games, etc. I also drive and am happy to help with school pickups and activities as needed. Please note that I’m allergic to cats and have a fear of large dogs, so I prefer pet-free homes or those where pets are secured.
