Hi! My name is Amelia, I’m 22 years old, and was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. I recently graduated from the University of Vermont, where I majored in Studio Art and minored in Art History. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love working with kids and have babysitting experience through the Babysitters Guild, where I worked for three summers in a row, as well as experience working at a sleepaway camp. I enjoy doing arts and crafts, playing games, spending time outside, reading, and creating a fun and comfortable environment for kids. I’m also a huge animal lover and have a cat and dog of my own. I’m happy to help with dog walking, feeding, playtime, fresh water, litter box care, and general pet sitting. I’m comfortable with different animals and always make sure to follow their routines and any specific instructions from their owners. I’m also happy to help around the house with tidying, dishes, laundry, organizing, taking out the trash, and errands. I’m dependable, patient, and communicative, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your kids, pets, and home!

Hi there! My name is D'Nasia and these are few reasons why I am a great caregiver! Responsible: Babysitters need to be reliable and responsible, ensuring the safety and well-being of the children in their care. I am a very organized and responsible caretaker and treat children that I'm babysitting as if they are my own. Patient: Dealing with children can sometimes be challenging, so patience is a valuable quality to have when handling their needs and behaviors. I have frequently babysat children with special needs and my little brother is autistic, which has truly taught me the importance of being patient and empathetic. Good communication skills: I am able to communicate effectively with both children and parents. I have a "Babysitting notebook" that helps in understanding the children's needs and informing parents about their child's well-being; this notebook helps me monitor the child's allergies, safety concerns, play-time preferences, food-preferences, and more. Creativity: I am great at keeping kids busy and engaged! Whether it's watching Miss Rachel or planning engaging activities and games, I can make babysitting more enjoyable for children and myself. Adaptability: Children have different needs, personalities, and moods. My ability to be flexible and adaptable is key to handling various situations. Reliable and punctual: I am always on time (and by that I mean 15min early) to fulfill your responsibilities in a reliable and professional manner. Boundaries: I am great at setting and enforcing appropriate boundaries with the family in order maintain order and ensure their safety.
Hi! I’m Aubrey. Nice to meet you! I’ve lived in Brooklyn for over three years now and currently live in Gowanus. Before moving to NYC for my day job, I spent an incredible year and a half as a live-in au pair in London after graduating from college. While an au pair, I looked after two kids—1.5 y/o girl and a 4 y/o boy—which gave me lots of hands-on experience from morning routines, school drop-offs and pick-ups, and outings to parks and museums, to evening babysitting. I loved my time with the kids, and so continuing to babysit alongside my day job here in NYC. Outside of work, I love staying active and spending time outdoors. I ran the NYC Marathon last fall, and when I’m not running around the neighborhood, I love cooking and spending time with friends and family.
