Find a last-minute babysitter in Astoria, NY

Hi! My name is Maia, and I’m a 25-year-old NYU graduate with a heartfelt commitment to nurturing fun, meaningful learning experiences for children in NYC. For the past two years, I’ve worked as a Public Programs Educator at the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, where I engage school-age children through hands-on, creative, and educational activities. I lead arts and crafts projects, early engineering activities, and movement and music exercises, always encouraging children to explore their creativity, curiosity, and confidence. This experience allows me to adapt to each child’s learning needs and interests in a playful, structured way. I’m warm, patient, energetic, and dependable, and I love finding creative ways to make everyday moments exciting—whether that means doing a craft project, heading outside for an adventure, helping with homework, or simply enjoying a favorite game together. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident in the person caring for their children, and I strive to be someone families can truly rely on. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and make your children feel happy, safe, and supported!

Hi neighbors! My name is Gemma, and I’m an 18-year-old senior at The Brearley School. I have experience babysitting for local families with children ages 5+, and I’m certified in CPR for infants, children, adults. I am also certified in First Aid. I have worked as a camp counselor and have babysat children ages 4-11 before. I also foster kittens, and have lots of experience with cats. I have owned dogs before as well. I’m warm, reliable, and love keeping kids engaged, whether that’s helping with homework, playing games, or reading together. Please feel free to reach out — I’d love to connect with more families in the neighborhood!

Hi! I’m a warm, responsible, and easygoing caregiver and family assistant. I graduated from Columbia University with a degree in Psychology, and I’ll be starting my Master’s in Social Work at NYU in the Fall of 2027, where I’m interested in working with children and families. For the past six years, I worked closely with one family and became a big part of their day-to-day life. I was very invested in their day-to-day life but as the needs of the family and my own goals have changed, I am looking to find part-time work until I start studying full time next year. Ultimately I hope to be a reliable resource for any family needing occasional/part-time help.

My name is Lorna and I am 24 years old, I am a teacher assistant and also a registered behavioral therapist. I work with children 3 years old to 15 years old and I have been doing this for 5 years. I am in school majoring in biology because I love science so much and I want to be a doctor. Outside of working with children and taking care of them I love cooking for my family and dancing.

Hi! My name is Olivia and I am currently a first year grad student at NYU. I have been a montessori preschool and kindergarten teacher for the past 5 years as well as a babysitter and nanny for much longer. In addition to that experience I have also been director of a summer camp for the past 4 years. I have worked with children ages 1 year to 12 years and love working with multiples (I currently work with three siblings). I can cook, clean, assist with homework, navigate travel to other activities, and I love playing games and doing crafts! I am very comfortable helping with animals and doing household chores and errands.
