Alexa $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Alexa and I’m a responsible, caring, and reliable babysitter with a genuine love for working with children. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and happy. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on each child’s individual needs. I love engaging children in age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, games, and outdoor play, while always prioritizing their safety and well-being. Families describe me as trustworthy, warm, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and at ease when leaving their children in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your little ones!

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.

Margarita $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m 25 years old and I work at children’s parties on weekends, doing face painting, balloon twisting, and other entertainment activities. I’ve been doing this for over three years. I also offer dog sitting in my home together with my fiancé. I love being around kids and animals — they bring so much joy and warmth into life! 🐶 I’m looking for extra opportunities to work in my free time, which is why I decided to create a profile here. My schedule is quite flexible, although I’m usually busy on weekends. I’d love to chat and discuss all the details personally! ✨

Carly $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Carly. I am a preschool teacher living in Queens. I have a BFA in Fine Arts from Purchase College and a MSEd in Early Childhood Education from City College. I have about 10 years of experience working with children in a variety of ways including as a camp counselor, teacher, and babysitter. I love working with children and enjoy learning about their interests and gaining an understanding of their perspectives in the world. As a babysitter it is my goal to ensure the children feel secure and cared for, that their individuality is respected, to form a meaningful connection with them, and to be a valuable source of support in their lives as well as to their family.
