Shaam $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Shaam, and I bring over five years of hands-on experience as both a babysitter and pet sitter. I’m someone families can depend on calm under pressure, naturally nurturing, and highly organized. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from toddlers to teens, as well as family pets, ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness while maintaining structure and consistency. I recently earned my degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus in psychology and criminal justice, which has given me a strong understanding of child development, emotional regulation, and conflict resolution skills that I apply every day in caregiving. My background allows me to connect with children in meaningful ways, whether it's supporting their emotional needs, helping with homework, or simply being a positive, consistent presence in their day. Organization is one of my strongest traits. I’m excellent at creating smooth daily routines, planning educational and fun activities, managing multiple responsibilities, and keeping homes tidy and efficient. I’ve also coached and mentored youth in sports, which has strengthened my patience, leadership, and ability to motivate and uplift others. Above all, I truly care. I show up with kindness, respect, and a willingness to support families however they need. Whether I’m helping a child with their bedtime routine, keeping pets active and happy, or maintaining a calm household environment, I always give my best. I’m here to make life easier and more joyful for the families I work with

Ellie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ellie and I am a senior at Fordham University majoring in psychology and English. I have been babysitting since I was 15 and would love to take care of your kids :)) In the past, I've made simple meals for kids, picked them up from school, walked them to parks, playdates, and restaurants, and have spent all day hanging out with them! I'm also happy to help organize your home or run errands. I (sadly) have no pets at school, but I have a dog at home and LOVE cats, so I'd be more than happy to meet and care for your pets too!
