Experienced and enthusiastic babysitter based in New York with a strong background working with children in different settings. I’ve been a cheerleading coach, worked in sports programs for kids, and I’ve also been a children’s party entertainer, leading group games, fun activities, dance moments, and making balloon figures that always make kids smile. I’m a patient, warm, and caring person who truly enjoys making children feel happy, safe, and understood. I love creating activities that include dancing, arts and crafts, creative play, and little learning moments. I’m also happy to help with homework and keep routines calm and organized. I easily adapt to each family’s rules, and I always communicate with kindness and respect. I’m comfortable caring for children ages 4+, and I’m bilingual in English and Spanish. I’m available for occasional babysitting, date nights, last-minute help, and afternoon or evening shifts. I am very aware that childhood is the most important stage of a person’s life, and I am happy to contribute positively to it. I would love to support your family and your children’s growth with care, respect, and joy.
Hi! My name is Emma and I would love to be a caregiver to your wonderful kiddos! I’m a creative and imaginative personality with the inclination for caring for children. I grew up a dancer and pursuing that professionally now in the city, with the dream of being in the Ensemble of a Broadway show! I love that I can share this art and my profession with children, even teach them a few moves. I have 4+ years babysitting as well as dog sitting and I care dearly for the elderly. I’m open to several different scenarios including school pick up/drop off, after school tutoring, evening date night babysitting and so much more! I hope that I can be a part of the integral part of your children’s lives and make an impact in one way or another!
Hello. My name is Anjanette and I'm currently a substitute teacher at various locations across Jersey, and intern as a copywriter in the city. I graduated from ASU summa cum laude in 2019, and had moved to London for grad school in 2019, returning to the states in 2020 due to the uncertainty surrounding covid-19. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care, some household services (housesitting, etc.), and am happy to provide proof of my fingerprint clearance card. I have significant experience in child-care. I have worked in contracted positions with DCS advising parents and supervising visitations in order to determine appropriateness of returned custody. I have been working as a teacher for the past couple of years, and am able to offer tutoring services, specializing in English, Government, Social Studies, Theatre, and Creative Writing. I have twin 13 year old nephews and enjoy finding ways to play and engage their very different personalties (one dirt bikes and is outdoorsy, and one is interested in engineering and video games.) I was a caretaker for my grandmother and am comfortable with general senior care. I'm not a great cook, but I'm happy to errand run, chat, and accompany seniors to events, or just do wellness checks. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs-- I am a huge dog lover. My family has always had big dogs, and I have a stubborn little (35 lbs) dog myself named Beckett.
I’m a 27-year-old childcare provider based in Jersey City, New Jersey, and I work in New York City. I’m currently seeking part-time work in nearby areas.

I enjoy engaging children in outdoor activities, museum visits, arts and crafts, and board games. In addition to childcare, I have experience with light cleaning and meal preparation for children. I also offer house-sitting and pet-sitting services.
