Find a last-minute babysitter in Astoria, NY

I am a second-year student from Southern California studying at business and politics at Fordham University LC. I have an identical twin sister who I am very close with, and who also attends Fordham University! I have 5+ years of babysitting experience for neighborhood family and friends, and an additional year's worth of experience working as an activities coordinator at the Four Seasons Aviara, where I facilitated crafts in the kids club, helped manage operations around the resort, and assisted with babysitting services while parents left their kids in my care on their vacation time. I was a competitive dancer throughout high school where I often helped mentor the "mini" dance team with my studio, including assisting with their classes and helping them get dressed and prepared at competitions. When I am not in class or doing homework, I also really enjoy running, going for walks, -- or doing anything active really -- reading, and hanging out with my friends around the city. I hope to be able to use my services to create a warm and welcome community for the kids left in my care, and assist with whatever actions are needed to ensure a great childhood filled with love and comfort!

I am a third-year medical student currently on leave after serving as a caretaker for my grandmother. I am deeply motivated to care for all beings, young and old. In addition to medical training, I have a background in developmental psychology and am passionate about promoting resilience and mindfulness. As a big sister and former competitive volleyball player, I love the mentorship and play that comes with care. I focus on creating a fun, safe, clean environment and on maintaining thoughtful communication. Outside of work, my hobbies include trail running, snorkeling, watching movies, and writing poetry. I look forward to providing care for your loved ones!

Hi— my name is Ava and I’m a current graduate student studying at Columbia University. I am offering childcare and household services. I love kids and have been working with them for the past 4 years. I have 3 years experience of teaching toddlers survival swim, and 2 years of teaching and camp counselor experience with elementary aged children. I have also been a babysitter for my own younger siblings, one of which has a disability. All of this experience has given me patience needed to work well with kids :) I enjoy doing outdoor activities, arts and crafts, and reading to kids. I can also clean and run errands. The one thing I cannot do is drive, but hopefully that is not too much of a problem in the city.

Hello everyone! My name is Kamila and I have been living in NYC for a little over 6 years. I moved here after going to music school in Boston. I’m a singing songwriter and work within arts administration/operations. Since moving to the city, I have worked with children ages 3 to 11, and I’ve learned so much. I enjoy fostering a sense of creativity and playfulness in the kids I get to hang with, and I’ve also taught beginner piano lessons for families around NYC and Brooklyn. I also have been petsitting/housesitting for doggies and kitties on the east and west coasts of the US and abroad over the last 3-4 years. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know your family :)

Hello! I’m bilingual (English/ Spanish) and nannied for 3 years, throughout college. I have also babysat children of all ages for >10 years. I love arts and crafts, cooking, and being outdoors. I can help with light household chores if needed. When I’m not babysitting, you can find me at my day job, volunteering at my community garden, or hanging out with friends. My rates are negotiable and depend on the level of care / responsibility needed. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have!
