Nataly $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a warm, responsible, and energetic caregiver who truly enjoys spending time with children. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for kids of different ages, helping with school routines, homework, meals, bedtime, transportation, and creating fun, engaging activities that encourage learning and creativity. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and valued. I love planning arts and crafts, reading stories, playing outdoors, baking together, and finding creative ways to make everyday moments enjoyable. I’m patient, dependable, organized, and able to stay calm in busy situations. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, children’s laundry, meal preparation, tidying play areas, and pet care. I have a valid driver’s license and experience driving children safely to and from school, activities, and appointments. Families describe me as caring, trustworthy, proactive, and easy to communicate with. I always strive to build a positive relationship with both children and parents by providing reliable, attentive, and loving care. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and become someone you can count on with confidence!

Booked by 2 families in Ossining, NY

Hi! My name is Jenna and I’m currently a sophomore at Quinnipiac University. I’d love to help out families by providing child care, pet care, or general household help! I’ve been a long-time babysitter for many families in my area since before I could drive, and I often watch and walk dogs through the Wag! app. I can be very active with kids and play any sports/games they want, but I’m also very crafty and love to just talk and watch movies! I’m also CPR certified and a licensed child care provider through the HMH certification course. Im also available to run errands and help with cleaning or laundry! I love to drive and shop, and I’ve been my mothers personal errand-runner for years with great reviews. And after being to college, there is nothing I’m not ready to clean!

“Jenna accepted my last minute booking and arrived early. She was very upbeat and a pleasure to be around. She confidently handled my toddler twin boys who enjoyed playing with her. I would not hesitate to hire Jenna again as a babysitter.”
