Carly $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Carly. I am a preschool teacher living in Queens. I have a BFA in Fine Arts from Purchase College and a MSEd in Early Childhood Education from City College. I have about 10 years of experience working with children in a variety of ways including as a camp counselor, teacher, and babysitter. I love working with children and enjoy learning about their interests and gaining an understanding of their perspectives in the world. As a babysitter it is my goal to ensure the children feel secure and cared for, that their individuality is respected, to form a meaningful connection with them, and to be a valuable source of support in their lives as well as to their family.

Emily $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm 28 years old and currently an MSW student at Fordham University with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages. I've worked with families in their homes, in after-school programs, and in child advocacy. I truly enjoy building relationships with the families I work with and creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for kids. I'm happy to help with whatever makes your day a little easier—whether that's keeping your children engaged, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, getting them safely to and from activities, or pitching in with household tasks like dishes, laundry, and light tidying. I also offer pet sitting and house sitting and know how important it is to have someone reliable caring for your home and pets while you're away. I'm dependable, organized, and easy to communicate with, and I always treat your home with respect. I know how much trust goes into finding the right caregiver, and I don't take that lightly. My goal is to make sure your children, pets, and home are well cared for so you can have peace of mind. I have references available upon request, and I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family!

Jocelyn $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Jocelyn! I’m currently a college student at Baruch College. My services include child care, dog and pet care. My experience with taking care of kids go way back to when I was taking care of younger relatives since I was around 10. I’m currently a chaperone for 2 kids on Saturdays and watching them do their online tutoring. I can practically do everything you need for child care! I mainly do pickup from school to home or to an afterschool activity but no at home sitting. I am also a math tutor so I can do tutoring at the library with your child if needed! As for pet experience, I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of family pets (mostly dogs) and making sure they’re fed on time, walking them, and making sure they’re happy overall!

Hennesy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m currently an Occupational Therapy (OT) student with a passion for helping children learn, grow, and thrive. I worked in a school supporting children with special needs, which has given me valuable experience creating safe, engaging, and supportive environments while adapting to each child’s unique needs and personality. I’m patient, dependable, and creative, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I love incorporating arts and crafts, imaginative play, outdoor activities, and age-appropriate learning into the time we spend together. My background in OT has also strengthened my understanding of child development, sensory needs, and positive communication. Outside of work and school, I love art and animals, and I’m always happy to help with pet care if needed. I’m also comfortable assisting with light household tasks, such as tidying up after activities, preparing simple meals and snacks, and helping keep your home organized while caring for your children. My goal is to provide families with reliable, compassionate care while making sure children feel safe, supported, and have fun. I look forward to getting to know your family!
