Emily $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Emily! I work at an art gallery in Chelsea and am looking to take a part time babysitting gig in the mornings or late afternoons. I've been babysitting since I was 14 and worked as a youth dance teacher for 6 years. I'm comfortable with kids of all ages including infants and have worked with families with as many as 5 kids under 12! My responsibilities have included school drop off/pick up, making meals, helping with homework, and coming up with activities to keep everyone entertained and happy. I love animals of all kind and am happy to assist with any housework.

Nicole $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nikki, and I have over 3 years of experience working with children and pets. Im an undergraduate at NYU, studying Psychology with a minor in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies! I plan on going to law school after graduating with my bachelors. I’m dependable, patient, and love creating a fun, safe environment where kids can learn and grow. I’ve worked with children of different ages, helping with everything from playtime and homework to meal prep and bedtime routines. I grew up in a Hispanic household and am able to speak a bit of spanish as well! I’m also an animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats — walking, feeding, and giving them plenty of attention. I take pride in being responsible, organized, and someone families can trust.

Chloe $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Chloe, and I’m an incoming medical student with a passion for working with children. I currently work at a fertility clinic and am looking for part-time opportunities before starting medical school this August. I’m Basic Life Support (BLS) certified and have experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve also been tutoring for many years and am happy to help with homework, studying, and academic support. In addition, I previously worked at a museum of science, where I taught science concepts to children ages 5 and under! I love to cook and am completely comfortable preparing meals, whether it’s simple snacks or full dinners. (Bonus! I played college lacrosse and have coached on the side and if any of your kids are interested in lacrosse, I would be happy to play with them and coach!) I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I always strive to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment for kids. I would love the opportunity to connect and help care for your little ones!

Leysha $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Leysha, and I’m currently taking a gap year while pursuing opportunities in childcare. As the oldest sibling in a single-parent household, I’ve gained lots of hands-on experience caring for children, helping with everyday routines, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m comfortable preparing simple meals, helping with light household tasks, school pick-ups, and keeping kids entertained and engaged. I also love animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’m patient, responsible, dependable, and have a flexible schedule. I’d love the opportunity to connect with your family and provide reliable, caring support whenever needed!
