$20 per hour for 1 child

I am 24 years old and i just moved from Serbia to United States! As my personal experience with child care i have a sister who is 15 years younger than me, and I was responsible for her absolute care throughout her growing up, so I am well acquainted with working with babies and children. I am studying Kinesiology and have worked as a health and sport coach for children aged 3 to 12 years. I am also familiar with medicine and care for the elderly because of my grandparents. As for animals, I had a dog and two cats for 14 years. I also worked occasionally as a dog groomer. I am meticulous, responsible, positive and hardworking person. I also worked as a children's animator for one summer season. I am a dance and snowboard instructor. I skate and play a little bit of guitar (or i can just say im trying 😂). In a certain period of my life, I cleaned people's apartments for money, and later as a worker in the hospitality industry, I know everything about the hygiene of spaces. Thank you for considering me as your private assistant, I hope to see you! 👋🏻

Booked by 6 families in Wading River, NY

hi families I'm looking a way to make extra money so I'm interested in occasional jobs. I'm not looking a babysitter position but I'll help with chores around the house, unboxing, light cleaning, go errands, etc ...

We hired Stefania for a short time today and she was able to build rapport quickly with my two boys. She’s also very nice! Would definitely hire again!

daniella Smithtown
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! My name is Daniella, and caring for children is something I love, not just a job, but something I take pride in. I have several years of hands-on babysitting experience caring for children of various ages, from infants and toddlers to school-aged kids. I’ve worked with families long-term and on an as-needed basis, which has taught me how to adapt quickly to each child’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I’m a responsible, patient, and nurturing caregiver who believes children thrive best when they feel safe, understood, and encouraged. I’m great at building strong connections with kids while also maintaining structure and clear boundaries that parents can trust. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, sticking to bedtime routines, or keeping kids engaged with creative activities, I always aim to make time together both fun and meaningful. I bring a calm, positive energy into every home and pride myself on being dependable, organized, and communicative with parents. I’m attentive, safety-focused, and always proactive, anticipating needs before they become problems. Parents often describe me as trustworthy, warm, and someone their children feel comfortable with right away. Some of my strengths include, creating fun, screen-free activities (arts & crafts, games, reading, outdoor play), helping with homework and supporting learning, maintaining routines and bedtime schedules, handling multiple children with patience and care, being reliable, punctual, and respectful of family values. Above all, I care deeply about the well-being of the children I look after. I strive to be someone parents can fully rely on and someone kids genuinely enjoy spending time with. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide your children with safe, attentive, and loving care.
