"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."

Hi families I’m Molly! I’m NYC based and looking to connect with families who may need some extra help with babysitting, date nights, or general home assistance. I’m responsible, reliable, organized and very comfortable caring for kids of all ages. I’m also very comfortable around pets, and happy to help with feeding, walks, or pet sitting as needed! I’m someone who genuinely enjoys being helpful and making things easier for busy families. I’m happy to help with childcare, school pick-up/drop-off, activities, errands, light tidying, meal prep, or whatever extra support your family may need. I’m also totally comfortable being in a home independently and treating your space and belongings with care. Availability: • Monday–Thursday: after 5 PM • Fridays: flexible • Saturdays & Sundays: fully available I’m open to both occasional/date-night help and recurring arrangements. If you’re looking for a trustworthy extra set of hands, I’d love to connect!

looking to sit on some kitties for some scratch ;) I’m well experienced with cats, no experience with children so please do not try to hire me to look after your offspring. Only cats. No dogs, nothing against them, just don’t know where to begin taking care of a domesticated wolf. Cats are fine by me. Open to birds as well
“Perfect service as usual.”
Kayla $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Sivan, and I'm a recent Hunter College graduate. I have 14 nieces and nephews so I have been caring for children ever since I was young. I worked as a daycare substitute from 2[removed] and as a lifeguard in the summers, and nannied 2021-22. From 2022-2023 I worked full time at a day school before returning to college full-time. I graduate in the spring and am looking for part-time nannying that may potentially become full-time post graduation. Most of my experience is with newborns to age 4, but I have cared for children ages 6-11 in the past. I don't mind light housekeeping, pet care, and cooking, and am able to do school drop-off and pickup. I believe in honesty and communication with both parents and children.
Tania $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Bronx, NY
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!
