"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Booked by 1 family in Ozone Park, NY
Hi, I am Alex and I would love to help take care of your pup. I have always been around dogs my whole life. I understand that every dog is different and I am very patient with them. I currently have a job at night so I would be more than happy to walk your dog during the day or weekend.
Rebecca $25 per hour for 1 child
Hello, I'm Becky, based in Astoria. I'm a former nanny and substitute teacher. I have worked with all ages from newborn up! I'm currently working with Zing Kids! as a recess coach and Afterschool Collective as an art and S.T.E.M. teacher for kindergarten and 1st grade kids in LIC. I have lots of free time to look after your kiddos nights and weekends and days schools are off. I also have a local rate for my Astoria families. Please reach out to discuss!
Melissa $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I’m Melissa! I am a preschool teacher, and I have two nephews (ages 4 and 5) who keep me on my toes. I love museums, Chuck E. Cheese, or just hanging out doing crafts and reading stories. I’m easygoing and great with routines. I want kids to feel happy and at ease while we hang out.
Elizabeth $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m a warm, responsible, and easygoing caregiver and family assistant. I graduated from Columbia University with a degree in Psychology, and I’ll be starting my Master’s in Social Work at NYU in the Fall of 2027, where I’m interested in working with children and families. For the past six years, I worked closely with one family and became a big part of their day-to-day life. I was very invested in their day-to-day life but as the needs of the family and my own goals have changed, I am looking to find part-time work until I start studying full time next year. Ultimately I hope to be a reliable resource for any family needing occasional/part-time help.
