Hi! My name is Michelle Rios, I’m 21 years old and currently a student at Fordham University in New York City. I was born in Boston and raised in Colombia, and I speak both English and Spanish fluently. I have been babysitting since high school and have experience caring for children ranging from infants who require diaper changes and feeding routines to children around 7 years old. I also have experience babysitting for families in NYC with children ages 1–7. In addition to babysitting, I have helped children with reading, writing, and schoolwork through tutoring and daycare-related activities. I genuinely love working with kids and creating a safe, caring, and engaging environment for them. I’m very patient, responsible, organized, and energetic, and I always aim to make children feel comfortable and supported. I also love cooking and baking, and I’m happy to help families however I can. Families would describe me as dependable, warm, and trustworthy, and I always treat every child with care and attention as if they were my own family.

I have babysat for a few families in the city (some for several years) for kids ranging in age from 18 months to 12 years. I’m seasoned in putting restless toddlers to bed, whipping up fun arts and crafts and making excellent after school snacks!

Hi, I’m Alexandra, 26 years old. I’m a responsible, friendly, and caring babysitter with 5 years of experience looking after kids of all ages, from babies to teens. I love getting creative with crafts and games, and I’m always happy to help out with cooking and light household tasks. Most of my experience comes from babysitting nieces and nephews of different ages, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities and needs. While I don’t hold a formal CPR/first-aid certification, I completed first-aid training in school and I’m always alert and prepared when caring for children. I’m available for morning shifts and on Saturdays, or at night after 8 PM. One recent family shared this about our time together: “Completely satisfied — she kept our son entertained for 7 hours straight with lots of variety. Impressively good.” (5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) I’d love the chance to meet your family and help care for your little ones!
