"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."

Mary J. $25 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Mary, and I am a preschool special education teacher currently working in Queens, NY. I am offering childcare services along with light housekeeping, including cleaning, vacuuming, laundry, and preparing simple snacks. I have a strong passion for teaching children and have been in the field of early childhood education for sixteen years. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, teenagers, and young adults, with the majority of my experience focused on children ages 2–5. My responsibilities as a teacher include lesson planning, creating hands-on crafts, and reading age-appropriate storybooks. I am comfortable working in homes with small dogs; however, I am not accustomed to working with other pets, such as cats, hamsters, or large dogs
Tracy-Lee $20 per hour for 1 child
I have been in education for over 10 plus years and currently work at a middle school in Brooklyn. I also manage the after-school program, hence my availability only on weekends and holidays. CPR certified every 2 years, as this is a requirement of Department of Education. Parents, nothing surprises or scares me. I am not afraid of vomit or diarrhea nor a bug if your little one brings me one as a gift. Just dropped my baby off at college, so you can say I am looking for another baby to love and care for.

$21 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m Priya and I’m 18. I don’t have any paid babysitting experience yet, but I really love being around babies, especially infants. I’m super gentle, patient, and I’m happy to help with things like feeding, diaper changes, or bath time. I’m also totally fine following whatever routine you already have. I’m just here to make things easier and keep your baby happy and comfortable. I’m available part time, and I’d love to help out if you need someone!
“Priya is very good with kids especially babies. She babysit a friend’s baby once and did a very good job. The baby was feed, cleaned and in a good mood.”
