Chevelle $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Chevelle and I’m here to offer my services as both a senior caregiver and child caregiver. As an aspiring physician I take joy in any opportunity given to connect with all types of people and caregiving has afforded me the opportunity to do so. I have years of relevant experience as a result of my time as a camp counselor as well as health Director along with my current role as a Behavior Technician to kids on the autism spectrum. I put safety first in all aspects but I’m still about having a good time and bonding with those under my care.

Bayla $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Bayla. I offer childcare, pet care, and household services. I love working with kids! For the last year, I have been working for Reading Partners at an elementary school in Brooklyn, providing extra literacy support to students in grades K-5. This summer I am an assistant teacher at Wonderforest Preschool! I have experience with all age groups. I always center patience, enthusiasm, and understanding when working with kids. I love to allow kids to explore their natural curiosity and better understand who they are. I am looking for a role as an after-school nanny this school year, with flexibility in the afternoon hours. I also have pet care experience and can support with household work where necessary. I am happy to support your family in any way that I can!

Jennifer $25 per hour for 1 child

As an empty nester who raised three children of my own, I bring a level of 'mom intuition' and calm authority that only comes with decades of experience. I specialize in providing high-end, reliable care for families who need a seasoned professional they can trust immediately. My background is unique: I’ve supervised a world-renowned kids' club, taught a wide range of subjects, and have extensive experience working with foster youth. This means I am exceptionally adaptable, patient, and capable of managing any situation—from high-energy play to quiet routines—with ease. I am available for day-by-day, occasional, and last-minute bookings. Whether it’s a date night or backup care during a busy day, my goal is to provide your children with an engaging, safe, and positive environment so you can have total peace of mind while you're away. I am comfortable with all ages and look forward to meeting your family! I graduated from NYU and majored in psychology.

Jenna $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I have experience working with kids in summer camps and also worked in an elementary school for more than a year: I also come from a family with many siblings, so I’m comfortable caring for and interacting with children of different ages. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure kids feel comfortable and safe while in my care. I enjoy keeping them entertained with games, activities, movies, or whatever they enjoy, while also respecting each family’s routines and rules. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and happy to help make things a little easier for parents. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Haneen $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Haneen — a product designer with a background in architecture, and someone who has genuinely always loved being around kids. I grew up looking after younger siblings and cousins, and have helped out friends and family as a babysitter over the years, so I'm comfortable with the rhythms of caring for little ones even if it's not my full-time world. I'm creative by nature and training, and I'd love to bring that into time spent with kids, teaching them to draw, paint, work through a puzzle, or just make something fun with whatever's around. I speak Arabic fluently too, which kids tend to find pretty exciting. I'm available part-time and happy to work with most age groups, I don't have a specialty, but I'm attentive, patient, and good at reading what a kid needs in the moment. One small thing: I'm allergic to cats, so homes with cats aren't a great fit, but dogs are totally fine by me! If you're looking for someone reliable, warm, and a little creative to spend time with your kids, I'd love to connect.
