Chevelle $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Chevelle and I’m here to offer my services as both a senior caregiver and child caregiver. As an aspiring physician I take joy in any opportunity given to connect with all types of people and caregiving has afforded me the opportunity to do so. I have years of relevant experience as a result of my time as a camp counselor as well as health Director along with my current role as a Behavior Technician to kids on the autism spectrum. I put safety first in all aspects but I’m still about having a good time and bonding with those under my care.

Caley $25 per hour for 1 child

I am 31-years-old with over 15 years of experience working with children! I just completed my MFA in Theater Directing at UT Austin and relocated back to Brooklyn, NY. I am passionate about reading, love art and music, and I am kind, calm, fun and reliable. Currently, I'm looking for part-time, occasional, and date night sitting in the Brooklyn area. I've worked as a long term babysitter for a family with three young children - 6-year-old twins and a 2-year-old - and as a date night sitter for children from 3 months to 10 years. Most recently, I worked for as a part-time afterschool nanny for 4-year-old twins in Brooklyn. In college, I worked as Preschool teaching assistant and have experience with Early Childhood Education and Development coursework. I've also spent three summers as a camp counselor for kids entering Kindergarten. I am CPR & First Aid certified.

Siyan $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Woodhaven, NY

Hello! My name is Sienna. I’m a recent graduate from the UPenn and am an oncology nurse here in NYC. I work with the adult population in the hospital, but I’ve always loved working with kids. I was a babysitter for 2 years in high school, and I also worked in a children’s hospital throughout my time in undergrad. I’m attentive, detail oriented, patient, and especially love being playful with kids. I'm comfortable with a variety of tasks, from arts and crafts to tutoring to accompanying kids to their extracurriculars. I’m also an avid cook and baker outside of my full time job and would be more than happy to bring those skills to your family as well! On top of that, I am CPR certified and happy to provide care if your child has any medical needs. I am allergic to cats but am happy to work with families with dogs!
