Eliza $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Eliza and I am currently earning my masters in social work at Columbia University. I graduated from Northeastern with a bachelors in psychology and human services in 2021 and have nearly a decade of babysitting experience. I am energetic, warm, and organized. From homework help, to pick ups and drop offs, to games and art projects, I am up for all the things! I have experience with multiple children at once (up to 8), infants, and children with physical and intellectual disabilities. I can provide references upon request!

Anya $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Anya! I’m a New York City native offering child care, dog-sitting, and house-sitting services across the city. I know every neighborhood and train line like the back of my hand! I hold a BFA with a minor in Business Marketing and currently work a corporate 9-to-5, but I’ve always loved caring for kids. I babysat throughout college and grew up as the eldest of two younger brothers. I also frequently babysit my 12-year-old niece. I work in digital media, so I know all about the latest kid trends - huge fan of K Pop Demon Hunters! I’m responsible, creative, and patient, and I love keeping kids engaged with fun activities like art projects, games, or chess. I cook healthy meals, speak two languages, and am great with dogs (but allergic to cats). I also played volleyball throughout high school, so I'm familiar with sports and a huge advocate for fitness. Also happy to help with homework! I excelled at math, English, and history. Reliable, nurturing, and upbeat. I live in the city, so open to last-minute babysitting needs!

Chevelle $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Chevelle and I’m here to offer my services as both a senior caregiver and child caregiver. As an aspiring physician I take joy in any opportunity given to connect with all types of people and caregiving has afforded me the opportunity to do so. I have years of relevant experience as a result of my time as a camp counselor as well as health Director along with my current role as a Behavior Technician to kids on the autism spectrum. I put safety first in all aspects but I’m still about having a good time and bonding with those under my care.

Jenna $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I have experience working with kids in summer camps and also worked in an elementary school for more than a year: I also come from a family with many siblings, so I’m comfortable caring for and interacting with children of different ages. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure kids feel comfortable and safe while in my care. I enjoy keeping them entertained with games, activities, movies, or whatever they enjoy, while also respecting each family’s routines and rules. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and happy to help make things a little easier for parents. I look forward to meeting you and your family!
