"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Caley $25 per hour for 1 child
I am 31-years-old with over 15 years of experience working with children! I just completed my MFA in Theater Directing at UT Austin and relocated back to Brooklyn, NY. I am passionate about reading, love art and music, and I am kind, calm, fun and reliable. Currently, I'm looking for part-time, occasional, and date night sitting in the Brooklyn area. I've worked as a long term babysitter for a family with three young children - 6-year-old twins and a 2-year-old - and as a date night sitter for children from 3 months to 10 years. Most recently, I worked for as a part-time afterschool nanny for 4-year-old twins in Brooklyn. In college, I worked as Preschool teaching assistant and have experience with Early Childhood Education and Development coursework. I've also spent three summers as a camp counselor for kids entering Kindergarten. I am CPR & First Aid certified.
Emma $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m offering services for part-time baby-sitting or after school assistance. I began baby-sitting and nannying at 14 and have also enjoyed working with kids in educational capacities: tennis coach, summer camp instructor and youth theater programs. I have experience doing school pick up and drop off, homework help, light housework and cooking. I am happy to help around the house as needed and to cook as much as possible. At 27, I currently work part-time in the nonprofit arts and have a flexible schedule. I’m deeply passionate about art, education, communication and community. And I’m great with crafts!
Jesse $25 per hour for 1 child
High school teacher who previously worked as a life guard and swim teacher to children ages 3-15. I really enjoy connecting with children of all ages, whether it's hearing about the book they love, the new slang they're using or playing a board game with inventive rules.

Hi! I am a 26 year old Psychology graduate and have worked with kids since 2015. I love working with kids and playing with them while being vigilant and making sure they’re safe.
