Paloma $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m an 18-year-old college freshman at Sarah Lawrence College studying Art History and Psychology. I’ve been babysitting for families throughout high school, and even before that, I regularly helped out neighbors and family friends. I grew up in a close-knit community in California, so I’ve always been surrounded by little ones and genuinely love being around kids. I’m excited to bring that same energy and experience to new families here in New York!

Tracy $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Tracy , and I have my Associate’s degree in Liberal Arts. I’m offering child care and household services and plan to continue my education to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Education. I have three years of experience as a nanny and plenty of babysitting experience caring for children of different ages. My duties included school drop-offs and pick-ups, baths, meal prep, laundry, and fun outings to the park and other activities. Through caring for my younger siblings, I developed a strong passion for working with children. I especially love caring for babies and toddlers—it’s so rewarding to be part of their early growth and learning. I’ve worked as a Summer Youth Counselor and currently work as a Preschool Teacher Assistant. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and love planning creative activities like baking, drawing, and crafts. I’m caring, reliable, and dedicated to creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for every child.

Booked by 1 family in New Rochelle, NY

Hi- My name is Mercedes. I have a Master Degree in Early Childhood. As a toddler teacher, I spend my days singing silly songs, reading animated storybooks, building block towers, and turning everyday moments into fun learning adventures. I’m very familiar with routines (and how important they are!), whether it’s snack time, clean-up time, or winding down for bed. My personality is warm, patient, and playful. I’m the kind of caregiver who will happily sit on the floor to play, love story time, and celebrate even the smallest accomplishments. At the same time, I’m calm, dependable, and confident when handling big feelings or tricky moments. I have experience caring for multiple children at once, planning engaging activities, and creating a safe, nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and happy. Most importantly, I treat every child like they are my own.

“Mercedes was great! She was timely and responsive and everything is alive still! Would hire again. ”
