Alyssa $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Alyssa I'm currently a student at Hunter college looking for a way to gain more experience with kids as I am juggling between possible careers of an elementary school teacher or a small animal vet. I offer child care preferable toddler age to elementary school age. I enjoy babysitting kids I love to think of it as hanging out with them rather than being bossy. During the summer I work as a camp counselor, for 2 years I babysat a 5 year old girl afterschool, and I worked with a toddler for occasional weekends. I am familiar with traveling with children to any activities but I cannot drive as yet. I enjoy cartoons, being outside, drawing and painting. I love to think of myself as a fun and loving person. I am pet friendly as I do have two cats and hopefully a dog in the future. A secret plus if you do have a dog, I would love to walk your dog its enjoyable to me.

Hello! I am currently a 25 year old young professional working in the Music industry. I have extensive experience dog sitting/dog walking, and I am more than willing to look after seniors or kids as well. While I have no direct babysitting experience for children, I have worked as a tutor in the past for children ages 5-14, and possess the responsibilities to look after them as needed.

Tameah $28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in South Richmond Hill, NY

As a dedicated nanny, my primary goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children. I am actively working with 2 babies but I have several years of experience working with many age groups, which has equipped me with the skills to handle their diverse needs, from infants to older children. I am comfortable working in homes with pets. My commitment extends beyond basic childcare; I am eager to assist with household tasks and be a helpful part of the family. I pride myself on preparing healthy meals, organizing fun and educational activities, and assisting with homework to support their development. Safety is my top priority, and I hold CPR and First Aid certifications to ensure I can respond effectively in emergencies. I thrive on building strong relationships with both the children and their families, fostering creativity, and encouraging a love for learning.

Nicole $21 per hour for 1 child

Experienced and reliable 21-year-old babysitter with over five years of hands-on childcare experience. From a young age, I’ve been the go-to babysitter for family, friends, and neighbors, caring for children of all ages. I officially started babysitting at 16 and have since worked extensively with pre-school and elementary-aged kids, providing attentive, engaging, and nurturing care. Whether helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or ensuring a smooth bedtime routine, I strive to create a safe and enjoyable environment for every child I look after. Currently a senior at Adelphi University, I will be starting dental school at the end of the summer. I have my own car for reliable transportation, making pick-ups, drop-offs, and last-minute scheduling easy. I’m fluent in both English and Russian and also comfortable around pets, as I have two dogs of my own. My experience, patience, and genuine love for working with children make me a dependable choice for any family in need of a caring and responsible babysitter.
