"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."

As a 20-year-old, I bring 4 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers. I'm a patient, empathetic, and creative babysitter who can engage kids with drawing, crafting, music, and games. I'm comfortable helping with pets, cooking, chores, and even homework assistance. I'm eager to learn and provide a safe, nurturing environment for your family. I'd be happy to discuss my availability and any other requirements you may have.

D’ana $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m D’ana 😊 I’m a college student finishing my junior year and currently work as a teacher’s assistant in a Pre-K classroom with the NYC Department of Education. I have 2+ years of babysitting experience with children from 8 months to 8 years old, including caring for multiple kids at once. Working in both home and classroom settings has helped me build a strong balance of being fun, patient, and structured. I love keeping kids engaged through creative activities like arts & crafts, games, and hands-on learning. I also help with homework especially reading and writing and always try to make learning feel fun and encouraging. I’m looking for part-time babysitting where I can build meaningful connections with families while providing safe, reliable, and attentive care. A little about me: I have a dog named Cleo 🐶 and I’m currently challenging myself to read 100 books this year (I’m already at 15!).

Hi! My name is Camille, and I am 21 years old. I am offering childcare and household services. I am currently a student at Fordham University, but I am from New Orleans, LA! I have been babysitting since I was 15, so I have over 6 years of experience working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids. I can also work as a household assistant, having previously worked as a personal assistant. I can cook, clean, and run errands. I am very extroverted, and I would consider myself outgoing and enthusiastic. I love arts and crafts, playing board games, and cooking! I am happy to work with families that have pets. I love animals!
