Hi! My name is Lizzie and I have recently moved to New York City and I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 and have experience nannying and caring for children of all ages. One family I’ve worked with has been part of my life for nearly 10 years, giving me the opportunity to care for several of their children from as young as 3 months old. I have also spent time nannying where I have been responsible for cooking meals, helping with homework, driving to and from school/extracurriculars, and assisting with chores. I also have 6 years of experience house and dog sitting, so I’m comfortable caring for pets and keeping a home tidy and organized while you’re away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, and I love cooking, organizing, and helping wherever I can. I’m responsible, dependable, and looking forward to getting to know your family!

I have worked as a camp counselor and have babysat children ages 4-11 before. I also foster kittens, and have lots of experience with cats. I have owned dogs before as well. I’m warm, reliable, and love keeping kids engaged, whether that’s helping with homework, playing games, or reading together. Please feel free to reach out — I’d love to connect with more families in the neighborhood!

Hi! My name is Gracie, and I’m a current law student at Harvard University and a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin–Madison. This summer I have an internship in the city and lots of free time compared to the school year! I have over nine years of babysitting experience, plus a lifetime of practice as the oldest sibling (my little sister is ten years younger than me!). I’ve truly grown up around children and care for every child as if they were my own younger sister. I love playing dress-up, building fairy houses, kicking a soccer ball around, reading stories, and spending time at the park. I’d love to meet your family and look forward to connecting!
