"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."

Sydney $22 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Sydney and I am 25 years old. Here’s a little bit about me as you’re considering me as a potential caretaker for your family. I graduated top of my class from the University of Virginia in 2022, with a degree in marketing and business analytics. I am the oldest of 4 children and have been babysitting since I was 14 years old. I’ve cared for children of all ages and for families with multiple children and pets. In addition to babysitting, I am more than happy to help out in other ways such as grocery shopping, cooking, and house tidying. I worked as a housekeeper on a luxury guest ranch for a summer so I have lots of experience caring for a space. In my free time I love to cook, take yoga classes, read, and try new restaurants in the city. Please reach out with any other questions :)

$22 per hour for 1 childBooked by 1 family in Rego Park, NY
Hi - I’m Arionna! I’m a lawyer living in NYC. I am offering child care services, and am happy to take care of pets as well! In addition to my law degree, have an undergraduate degree in Psychology with a minor in Human and Social Development. I have been babysitting off and on since I was in high school and so I am comfortable balancing having fun and keeping kids engaged with making sure that parents’ instructions and schedules are followed. I’m happy to help with playtime and activities, homework, meals, bedtime routines, or simply keeping kids entertained while you’re away.
