Booked by 2 families in Mount Vernon, NY

Hi, my name is Kimberly. I’ve been babysitting for a while now I started off babysitting my nephew when I was young. I loved it so much I started looking into more babysitting jobs and I now have more than 2 years of experience. I also love doing other chores such as laundry and mild cleaning. I love cooking especially some shrimp alfredo pasta yumm! I love making snacks for the kids and creating fun activities for them. Especially art activities and baking with them! I have experience walking dogs as well. I love pets a lot and look forward to seeing families with their fur babies :)

Bianca $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated, responsible, and caring person with over 5 years of experience working directly with children of different ages. I enjoy creating a welcoming and fun environment where they can feel safe and stimulated. I am patient and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I have strong references and am available to talk. In addition to childcare, I can also assist with basic household tasks, especially those related to the children, such as meal preparation, tidying up play areas, and helping with their daily routines. In my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to music, spending time outdoors, and being with family and friends. I also appreciate creative activities such as crafts and cooking, which I often incorporate into play and activities with children.
