Find a last-minute babysitter in East Elmhurst, NY

Hi! I’m Emma. I’m currently completing my master’s in social work at Columbia. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 and have experience with children ages 1–11. Through my work and as an older sister, I’ve developed a genuine love for caring for kids. I enjoy spending time outdoors and reading, and I love encouraging the kids I work with to explore those activities too. I’m always happy to help with homework. I’m also comfortable with pets and am happy to help with household responsibilities!

I’m a Childhood Education major with several years of experience working with children in professional and educational settings. I’ve worked as an Assistant Teacher and After School Counselor, where I supported children’s learning, supervised activities, and helped maintain a safe and positive environment. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy building positive connections with kids while creating a fun, supportive, and safe environment for them to grow and learn.

I’m a senior at NYU with a strong background in childcare and safety. I’m a certified lifeguard trained in CPR, First Aid, and emergency response, and I bring that same attentiveness and calm presence to caregiving. I’m responsible, patient, and engaging, with experience caring for children and pets. Families appreciate my reliability, clear communication, and punctuality.

I am an NYC-based teacher, currently teaching 7th grade ELA. Next year, I will be teaching 4th Grade (all subjects). I am NYSED certified in ELA, Theatre, and Elementary Education. In addition to my experience in education, I have worked as a part-time/freelance nanny and child care provider in NYC for over ten years. I have an MA in Educational Theatre from NYU and am certified in CPR, First Aid, and Mental Health First Aid. I have also been fingerprinted/background checked by the NYC Department of Education. I am an animal lover with two cats (my former fosters). I grew up around dogs, cats, goats, and llamas and love all animals. In addition to caring for my own bbz, I have many years experience pet-sitting dogs and cats. I am on summer break and open to occasional work. Looking forward to speaking with you!

Hello, I am Graciela, and I am currently halfway through my undergraduate studies at NYU, I will be staying in the city for the summer. I am offering childcare, petcare, or household services. I have had babysitting jobs since my freshman year of high school. I frequently watched my 3 younger cousins and also worked for a variety of families over the years. I have taken care of 1-3 kids at a time with ages ranging from less than a year to 11 years old. I always love engaging with the kids through a variety of games or activities. I have dogs back at home and have also been a dog sitter for a couple of families. I am comfortable with almost any other animal.
