Find a last-minute babysitter in Astoria, NY

My name is Lucia, I'm 20 years old, soon to be 21! I'm from Colombia, my first language is Spanish. I went to the French school in Bogota, Colombia, so I can also speak fluent French. I've been working with kids since I was 16. I worked multiple times at a very prestigious summer camp in Colombia. Children were between 6 and 17 years old. I know multiple activities to entertain children and love having fun with them! I love cooking, I'm super nice, I'm calm and patient. I've taken multiple courses about handling stressful/complicated situations with children. I did gymnastics most of my life so I love doing motricity activities! I'm currently doing my bachelor in Fashion Design, so everything that has to do with art and creativity, that's also my game!

Hi! My name is Ashley, and I am a 23-year-old Northwestern University graduate who has extensive experience in child care. As a previous full-time camp coordinator, tutor, children's dance instructor, and theatrical performer for young audiences, I love engaging with children and meeting them where they are at. I am very experienced with NYC public transportation, so I am able to do pick-ups and drop-offs at school, extracurriculars, playdates, etc. I am also super organized and clean, so taking care of household tasks is a plus!

Spending time with kids has always been something I look forward to, even though I work full time in consulting. I’ve babysat a 7-year-old boy, a 10-year-old girl, and spent years caring for my younger sister while my parents traveled for work. Caring for kids feels meaningful to me because I love being someone they can talk to, laugh with, and learn from. I enjoy helping with homework, making simple meals, playing games, doing creative activities, and making everyday routines feel fun and easy. I’m responsible, patient, and positive, and I’m happy to help with light cleanup and pets too. My goal is to make kids feel safe and supported while giving parents the peace of mind that their home and children are in great hands.

I’m also comfortable with pets and am happy to help with household responsibilities!
