Taylor $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Taylor, I’m 21 years old, going into my 4th year at Parsons School of Design, living in the East Village. Growing up in California I babysat for several families with children of different age ranges. I developed a love for children and being able to help families! I’m always happy to be an extra set of hands around the house and help families wherever needed. Addition to babysitting, my first job was a gymnastics coach for kids of all ages. In my free time I enjoy reading, working out, and going on long walks to enjoy the city!

Booked by 1 family in Middle Village, NY

I'm a 37 year old mostly WFH advertising writer who loves dogs, cats, kids and has plenty of time to hang out with yours! I've pet sat since I was a kid and have always enjoyed helping out owners while getting quality time with a variety of fun pets. I live in Cobble Hill and am very close to several parks and paths where I love to walk. I’ve marked that I'm fine with pets being on the furniture (because who doesn’t love snuggles!) but we’ll enforce any rules you have for consistency.

“Sarah is an absolutely incredible dogsitter! She has watched my shiba inu, Goji, for several years and he is truly obsessed with her. Sarah is kind, responsible, reliable, and highly competent at dog care. We feel lucky to have found Sarah as a sitter and always trust that Goji is in good hands with her.”

Marguerita $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Marguerita! I’m a Brooklyn nanny with over 30 years of experience in caring for children of various ages. As of recently, I earned my CNA license and became CPR certified. I’ve also expanded my child-care knowledge through participation in several nanny and speech therapy workshops over the last couple of years. I enjoy facilitating indoor and outdoor activities, providing homework help (when able), and cooking. I look forward to working with you and your kids!

$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Middle Village, NY

Hello everyone! My name is Kamila and I have been living in NYC for a little over 6 years. I moved here after going to music school in Boston. I’m a singing songwriter and work within arts administration/operations. Since moving to the city, I have worked with children ages 3 to 11, and I’ve learned so much. I enjoy fostering a sense of creativity and playfulness in the kids I get to hang with, and I’ve also taught beginner piano lessons for families around NYC and Brooklyn. I also have been petsitting/housesitting for doggies and kitties on the east and west coasts of the US and abroad over the last 3-4 years. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know your family :)

“Without hesitation, if you are looking for someone to care for your child/children…look no further! Kamila’s kindhearted and creative sensibilities allow her to engage with children at their level while still ensuring structure when needed. Our 5 year old son always looked forward to having her care for him. Kamila would respond promptly to my texts/calls while caring for him and would also send pictures of their day together. Kamila was very accommodating in many ways, from last minute care requests, to caring for him in untraditional locations (like in a recreation complex), to even helping support our family while moving. She consistently arrived to work on time and never called out last minute. (In fact, I’m not sure she ever called out!) Even though we only had Kamila with our family for a few months before she moved, she quickly became a delightful addition to our family. She would be the same for you.....enjoy!”

Alexandra $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Alex and I’m currently a college student at the New School. I have been babysitting for the past three years for children around the ages of five to twelve. I also have experience in tutoring children in reading and writing. I’m also an art student so if your child has any interest in art I’d be more than happy to nurture their interest in teaching them and taking them to art museums. I also have experience in caring for cats and reptiles. So if you have either I’d be willing to care for them in anyway they need.
