"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."

Emma $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m offering services for part-time baby-sitting or after school assistance. I began baby-sitting and nannying at 14 and have also enjoyed working with kids in educational capacities: tennis coach, summer camp instructor and youth theater programs. I have experience doing school pick up and drop off, homework help, light housework and cooking. I am happy to help around the house as needed and to cook as much as possible. At 27, I currently work part-time in the nonprofit arts and have a flexible schedule. I’m deeply passionate about art, education, communication and community. And I’m great with crafts!
Tracy-Lee $20 per hour for 1 child
I have been in education for over 10 plus years and currently work at a middle school in Brooklyn. I also manage the after-school program, hence my availability only on weekends and holidays. CPR certified every 2 years, as this is a requirement of Department of Education. Parents, nothing surprises or scares me. I am not afraid of vomit or diarrhea nor a bug if your little one brings me one as a gift. Just dropped my baby off at college, so you can say I am looking for another baby to love and care for.

I have worked substitute teacher in the NYC DOE and behavior technician, I founded Learning Ladder Innovations, a tutoring service that supports children with language development, academic enrichment, and confidence-building. I am CPR/First Aid certified and offer a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment that supports children’s emotional, social, and academic growth. I am also a mom myself , so I know the feeling of having someone safe and nurturing!!
