"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."

Annie $23 per hour for 1 child
I have been working with kids since I was 14. I have experience as an behavioral therapist with kids on the autism spectrum, as a professional nanny, and also as an intermittent babysitter. I've worked with kids age 0-15! I love kids and will bring a positive attitude and energetic spirit. I am a current Master's student at NYU silver school of social work looking for some part time babysitting opportunities.

Myleah 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child
$22 per hour for 1 child
My name is Myleah and I’m a 19 yo sophomore at NYU. I am so excited to work with you and your family! Child care is my passion, so any child in my care will be treated as so. I’ve been babysitting for 3 years and was a camp counselor in 2025. I have experience working with infants-14year olds, so I’m open to all! My favorite activity to do with children is play pretend, crafts, dancing, and singing! I’m also open to sports and cater to children’s special interests. I can help tutor, cook, paint, etc! I am CPR and First Aid Trained, as well as a mandated reporter.
“We have had Myleah in our family a couple times and she’s been an amazing and reliable babysitter for us. My little ones love her. She arrives on time and asks many needed questions to give my kids the best care. She is dependent and trustworthy. In addition, my kids have great time with her and she even helps around the house and helps kids with homework. Overall very great.”
Guliana $21 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Guliana! I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Social Work and work with middle and high school students. I have previous experience working with children and young adults with disabilities, which has helped me develop a patient, caring, and attentive approach when working with children of all ages. I also have experience pet sitting and am comfortable caring for both cats and dogs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and make it a priority to give them my full attention while creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment. I’m happy to help with homework, playtime, meals, bedtime routines, and anything else your family may need. I’m also willing to help with light cleaning, cooking, errands, and other household tasks. I’m very flexible with scheduling and am happy to work with your family to find an arrangement that works best for everyone. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide dependable, caring support for your children!
Miranda $22 per hour for 1 child
I have been babysitting since I was 14years old and love kids! I volunteered in the nursery (ages 1 through 4) at my church all four years of high school. In addition, while in college I nannied for two years. I have continued to babysit post graduation as much as I can! I was an early learners tutor at Kumon and taught swimming to kids ages 2 and up. So in addition to Babysitting, I’m well equipped to help with homework and provide swimming lessons!
