Booked by 3 families in South Richmond Hill, NY
Hi! My name is Jasmine and I am offering child care services. I’m patient, trustworthy, reliable, caring, communicative, kind & energetic! Currently working in education and I have been working in schools and with children (toddlers and elementary to high school aged kids) for the past 11 years. Along with babysitting, I am able help out with homework, clean, cook and run any errands. I also grew up playing sports so if you’re kiddo needs any basketball lessons in particular, I would love to help! I am able to interact and engage with children by reading books, watching movies, going outdoors (parks & playgrounds, museums, libraries, or any other activity of your choice), playing games at home, and engaging in more educational activities as well. I require some type of video call before the start date to ensure safety on all ends. I am fully vaccinated and boosted as well. I have no allergies to pets and welcome all furry friends with open arms! I can assure that your children will be safe in my care. Thank you😊
“Jasmine cared for three of our children for three hours and handled three separate pickups smoothly. She was energetic, positive, and an excellent communicator. As a school psychologist, she made me feel confident that she would be capable of handling challenging behavior if it arose. She was a joy to have around, and I will definitely hire her again.”

Booked by 1 family in South Richmond Hill, NY
Currently a media professional, I’ve always loved caring for others. I grew up with the mindset that if you take care of your community, your community will take care of you. I worked at my family’s daycare center for 5 years while in high school and some throughout college. While in college a volunteered at an underserved after school program, where I established a library and secured grants to expand the program. Working with families and children, while helping them flourish has always been a passion.
“My dog is really shy and anxious, but bonded really well with Olivia. She sent photos and videos throughout to show me he was having the best time!”

Hi, I’m Reunet! I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting opportunities. I’ve babysat for two families and helped care for my nephew from infancy through early childhood. I’ve also spent a lot of time around children through family and my community. I’m caring, attentive, dependable, and take children’s safety seriously. I’m happy to help with homework, schoolwork, and light household tasks as needed. I have a STEM college background and am also a professional graduate. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, board games, puzzles, comedy, mystery novels, movies (especially a good plot twist!), music, and dancing. Thanks for reading! 😊
“Reunet is fantastic! Our toddler warmed up to her quickly, and wasted no time having her play games and read books to her. She is wonderfully communicative, timely, and has a warm energy that we very much appreciate. We're excited to have her back! Highly recommend.”

Booked by 6 families in South Richmond Hill, NY
Hi! I’m Divya, a 26-year-old finance professional living in NYC. I’m available in the evenings and on weekends and I love spending time with kids and helping families out. I’ve been caring for children for many years-from keeping infants and little ones entertained with games and crafts to helping older kids with homework or getting them to activities on time. I’m happy to help with light housework, laundry, or meal prep, and I’m always up for a trip to the park or some fun, active play. Families tell me I’m energetic, caring, and easy to work with. I make it a priority to create a safe, happy, and engaging environment for kids, whether we’re cooking together, doing a puzzle, or winding down with a story. * I am CPR and First Aid certified
