Renee 1 review
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Renee and I am an 18 year old senior graduating 2026. I offer child care, pet care, and a bit of household services. Since as young as I can remember I have been babysitting for family members and close family friends; ranging from infants to toddlers and kids (8months - 10yo) My responsibilities include baths, entertainment, snacks, and just ensuring their well being. I worked for a summer school/camp for over 2 summers with elementary school students where I had to transport them from place to place, help with tutoring and work, and making sure they had a fun time up at site or at the school facilities. For household services I am able to run errands and do some cleaning. I have a love for pets as I have a cat myself and am comfortable with pet sitting friendly animals!! With that being said, I may not have a lot to show on my profile but I can assure you I take my jobs seriously and ensure safety. I’m always available to answer questions as well just reach out.

“Renee is a very hard working girl that does what she can to her best abilities, very much on her own pace and time. She's very good at crafts for entertainment that keeps people busy at times. She was really into baking as a kid and is trying to get into cooking as of recently. She is almost always available after school hours (2:30) or when no events are happening as she is a senior in high school. She has been babysitting for relatives/family since a younger age up until highschool. She babysat all 3 of her nephews/niece since they were babies. She loves taking care of kids and being around them. For 2 summers she worked at a summer camp as a counselor for elementary school kids and is planning on going back this summer as well. On top of that she recently adopted a cat who has been attached to her since we took her home and takes care of sher like her own child. Renee is very good with pets as long as they are docile and friendly. Though she doesn't have a car, transportation would be the main topic but given the time she always tries to be timely and prepared with her jobs.”

Booked by 2 families in Hastings On Hudson, NY

Hi! My name is Jenna and I’m currently a sophomore at Quinnipiac University. I’d love to help out families by providing child care, pet care, or general household help! I’ve been a long-time babysitter for many families in my area since before I could drive, and I often watch and walk dogs through the Wag! app. I can be very active with kids and play any sports/games they want, but I’m also very crafty and love to just talk and watch movies! I’m also CPR certified and a licensed child care provider through the HMH certification course. Im also available to run errands and help with cleaning or laundry! I love to drive and shop, and I’ve been my mothers personal errand-runner for years with great reviews. And after being to college, there is nothing I’m not ready to clean!

“Jenna accepted my last minute booking and arrived early. She was very upbeat and a pleasure to be around. She confidently handled my toddler twin boys who enjoyed playing with her. I would not hesitate to hire Jenna again as a babysitter.”

Hi! My name is Rac-Khyla, I’m a 22 year old pharmacy technician. On my off days I’d babysit my younger cousins that used to live with, a 1 year old and a 3 year old. I’m a reliable and caring babysitter who loves working with kids. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on creating a safe, fun, and positive environment.
