Valentina $29 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families! I’m valentina, a warm, reliable and experienced childcare provider with over 6 years of experience. I’ve worked as an au pair, babysitter and youth programs team leader. I genuinely enjoy being part of children’s everyday life. I’m happy and comfortable helping with anything from newborn care- feeding, diaper changing, naps and routines- to school pick ups, homework help and keeping kids entertained throughout the day. I am bilingual in Spanish and English, and hold an Associate degree in Behavioral Sciences, with a particular interest in child development and communications. I am currently based in NYC and looking for a part-time or occasional position with a family who is interested in a dependable, caring and easy to communicate with caregiver. I’d love to connect, learn about your family and see if we’re a good fit!

Nicky $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Nicky, and I am a junior in college currently available for part-time childcare. I have been babysitting for several years, primarily working with children between the ages of infant to 13. I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable. Along with childcare, I am happy to help with household responsibilities such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, and academic support. Outside of school and babysitting, I am a college student-athlete, so I love staying active and getting outside. I enjoy encouraging kids to put down the screens, get some fresh air, and have fun through outdoor activities, games, and playtime. I also have a strong passion for the arts. I enjoy theater, dance, literature, drawing, knitting, crocheting, and other creative activities. I love incorporating these interests into childcare through crafts, creative projects, reading, and imaginative play. Music is another big part of my life. I have experience with piano, percussion, guitar, and vocals, and I also offer one-on-one music lessons for children who are interested in learning an instrument or developing their vocal skills. Overall, I love working with children and creating activities that match their interests and personalities. I would be happy to help your family with childcare, homework, household tasks, creative activities, and keeping your children active and engaged!
