Hi families! I have over 17 years of experience working with children and creating safe, supportive, and engaging environments. I’m CPR certified, lifeguard certified, and have spent the past 10 years teaching swim lessons to children of all ages, which has strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to stay calm in emergencies. I also have experience as an overnight camp counselor, supervising children, supporting routines, and ensuring their safety and well-being. I enjoy building meaningful connections with kids while being reliable, attentive, and someone families can feel comfortable trusting with their care.
Hello! My name is Rosaria, and I’m currently a student at NYU studying Theater and Social Sciences. I’ve always loved working with kids and creating environments where they feel comfortable, safe, heard, and able to be themselves. I have experience working with children of many different ages through babysitting and as a camp counselor at a music summer camp, where I worked with campers ages 8–16. I led improv games, arts and crafts activities, music-based activities, and helped create a fun and welcoming environment for all campers. Working with children has also always been a part of my life because my mom has been a full-time nanny for over 30 years. Since I was 16, I’ve helped assist her with caring for children and babies of all ages (with permission from families), and through that experience, I learned how important patience, communication, attentiveness, and trust are when caring for kids. I love engaging kids through reading, imaginative play, sketching, LEGO builds, card games, crafts, and making stories feel interactive, creative, and fun. I cook and meal prep for myself often and genuinely love cooking and baking. I’d always be happy to prepare meals/snacks or even make cooking a fun activity with your child when appropriate! I also have experience cat-sitting and caring for pets, so I’m very comfortable in homes with animals as well.
“Rosaria has watched our children (ages 5 and 8) several times, and we’ve always had a great experience. She’s reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. Our kids immediately connected with her and are always excited when she comes over. She does a great job keeping them engaged, whether they’re playing games, reading, or using their imaginations. We especially appreciate how present and attentive she is with them. It’s clear she genuinely enjoys working with children. We trust her completely and would happily recommend her to other families.”
My name is Jamora, and I have a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, caregiving has always been one of my greatest passions. I’ve worked in daycares and childcare settings since I was 16 years old, and throughout the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with children of all ages and abilities, including those with special needs. I’m CPR/AED certified, trained in anaphylaxis response, and have completed specialized training in infant care, special education, and hold a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential. What makes me a great caregiver is not just my experience, but my genuine love for helping others feel safe, supported, and valued. I’m known for my patience, nurturing personality, and ability to stay calm under pressure. I bring a mix of structure, creativity, and warmth to every environment I step into, whether I’m caring for kids, seniors, pets, or assisting with household tasks. I believe every person deserves care that is thoughtful and tailored to their needs, and I take pride in being that dependable, compassionate presence in their lives.
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! ✨
Hi! I’m Priya and I’m 18. I don’t have any paid babysitting experience yet, but I really love being around babies, especially infants. I’m super gentle, patient, and I’m happy to help with things like feeding, diaper changes, or bath time. I’m also totally fine following whatever routine you already have. I’m just here to make things easier and keep your baby happy and comfortable. I’m available part time, and I’d love to help out if you need someone!
“Priya is very good with kids especially babies. She babysit a friend’s baby once and did a very good job. The baby was feed, cleaned and in a good mood.”
