Irlanda $36 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Irlanda, a caring, dependable, and energetic childcare professional with over 8 years of experience working with infants, toddlers, and young children. I've worked as both a Teacher Assistant and Head Teacher in early childhood education, where I've planned engaging activities, supported children's development, and built strong relationships with families. I'm also completing my Master's degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), which has strengthened my communication skills and understanding of child development. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn through play, exploration, and creativity. Whether we're reading stories, doing arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, or working on age-appropriate learning activities, I strive to make every child feel supported and encouraged. Families describe me as patient, responsible, organized, and easy to communicate with. I'm comfortable caring for multiple children, preparing meals and snacks, helping with bedtime routines, and keeping parents updated throughout the day. My goal is to give parents peace of mind while ensuring their little ones feel happy, safe, and cared for.

Nicole $21 per hour for 1 child

Experienced and reliable 21-year-old babysitter with over five years of hands-on childcare experience. From a young age, I’ve been the go-to babysitter for family, friends, and neighbors, caring for children of all ages. I officially started babysitting at 16 and have since worked extensively with pre-school and elementary-aged kids, providing attentive, engaging, and nurturing care. Whether helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or ensuring a smooth bedtime routine, I strive to create a safe and enjoyable environment for every child I look after. Currently a senior at Adelphi University, I will be starting dental school at the end of the summer. I have my own car for reliable transportation, making pick-ups, drop-offs, and last-minute scheduling easy. I’m fluent in both English and Russian and also comfortable around pets, as I have two dogs of my own. My experience, patience, and genuine love for working with children make me a dependable choice for any family in need of a caring and responsible babysitter.
