Find a last-minute babysitter in New York, NY

Hi there! My name is Lindy and I’m a 26-year-old artist and textile-maker living in Brooklyn. I graduated cum laude from NYU three years ago where I studied mental health with a focus on children and adolescents. I am passionate about early childhood, and this fall, I’ll be back in school working towards my masters degree in art therapy. In the mean time, I’m looking for part-time nanny work and regular babysitting opportunities! :) I adore children and have been babysitting since an early age. In addition, I have experience working as a teacher’s assistant at my local temple, a day care assistant, and as an intern at a children’s arts camp in Brooklyn. In total, I have over 5 years of experience caring for children aged 3 months to 12+. I've spent the past three years since graduating college nannying part-time. One of my previous nanny families described me as “kind, sensitive, attentive, and simply a lovely human being…who has very much become a part of our family.” I am fully vaccinated and boosted as well as CPR and First Aid certified. Let me know if you’d like to speak to my references!

(New profile - waiting on reviews - can provide references) Hello! My name is Caroline, and I'm a writer and recent NYU graduate originally from Dallas, Texas now living in the North Williamsburg/South Greenpoint area. Willing to commute. I grew up as the 2nd oldest child (firstborn daughter) in a LARGE, multi-home blended family with animals constantly around, so I've been looking after other kids (and pets) since I was a kid myself :) I absolutely love working with kids because every day brings something new and rewarding—whether it’s seeing a child achieve a milestone or simply sharing a laugh. I have 8 years of regular caregiving experience for other families in both Texas and New York City. I've worked with children from infancy to high school age, including children with special needs/disabilities. I'm well-versed in sibling dynamics and open to providing hands-on care for 2-3 children at a time -- potentially more depending on the ages of the children and/or in nanny-share situations. I started babysitting at 14 during my high school years, which I spent serving my community as a peer mentor and "PAL" (peers in assistance, leadership, & service) for children who had ongoing personal hardships, suffered recent traumatic events, and/or were new to the school. I started working with kids of varied cognitive disabilities in grade school as apart of a volunteer special education program, so I am comfortable working with children who have differentiating physical and/or mental functionalities. I believe that play is one of the best ways for kids to learn and grow, so I love creating fun, imaginative activities that engage kids while helping them develop new skills. I'm happy to help with homework (bonus: I'm trilingual) in any subject, to the best of my ability. I’m not a "passive" sitter - I love to keep kids engaged, and am committed to facilitating and maintaining their routines. I'm a big believer in bedtime stories, positivity, and patience. Other bonuses: I've cared for sick or wounded animals at home and volunteering at an animal sanctuary, and worked as a petsitter/dog-walker 10-15 hrs/wk while in college. Every child and home is unique. I want to be as attuned to their/your needs and preferences as possible, so please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to schedule a call or meeting.

Hello :) I'm Em! I'm a Brooklyn-based musician born and raised in New Jersey. I'm an enthusiastic and experienced babysitter. I've been watching infants through 8 year olds since I was a teenager. I also have experience watching special needs children. I like to read, play games, do crafts, and when it's not too cold be outside! I have a license and am experienced in driving city streets if needed!

Hi! My name is Honor, my parents are Scottish but I was born in England and grew up moving between England and the US. I've been babysitting since I was 11 and have taken care of kids as young as 6 months old and up to 14 year olds. I love to do arts and crafts, go to the park, read, or just hang out. Whatever suits the kids I'm caring for and their parents! A little bit about me: I graduated from NYU in 2020 with a degree in Screenwriting and the Business of Media and am finished grad school last year where I studied Popular Fiction and the Business of Publishing remotely through Emerson College. I’ve been working in morning TV the last couple of years and recently quit to focus on writing. I love animals, running, thrifting, sewing, needlepoint, pilates, watercolor painting, reading, writing, history, and travel.
