priya $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m a registered nurse, aunt, and a proud dog mom! I began my healthcare career as a CNA in a nursing home while in nursing school, where I learned the importance of patience, compassion, and hands-on care. After becoming an RN, I worked with psychiatric patients and also completed training as a school nurse, giving me valuable experience caring for children and managing their health needs in a supportive & structured setting. Currently, I work at a medical spa, but nurturing others will always be close to my heart. Whether it’s soothing your baby to sleep, sparking imagination through stories, helping with homework, exploring the outdoors, or sharing laughter over something silly. I’m passionate about creating a safe, uplifting space where kids feel loved, confident, and free to grow. I’m also passionate about shaping the future generation and enjoy guiding kids through challenges with patience and empathy. I’d be honored to bring warmth, reliability, and genuine care into your home. 💕

Sarah $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sarah, I’m an LA-raised NYC dweller and lover of kids. As the oldest of 7 close cousins, I’ve been babysitting pretty much since I could hold a bottle. After moving to New York for school, I majored in Creative Writing and minored in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies. I have babysat for a few families in the city (some for several years) for kids ranging in age from 18 months to 12 years. I’m seasoned in putting restless toddlers to bed, whipping up fun arts and crafts and making excellent after school snacks!

Emma $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Emma and I would love to be a caregiver to your wonderful kiddos! I’m a creative and imaginative personality with the inclination for caring for children. I grew up a dancer and pursuing that professionally now in the city, with the dream of being in the Ensemble of a Broadway show! I love that I can share this art and my profession with children, even teach them a few moves. I have 4+ years babysitting as well as dog sitting and I care dearly for the elderly. I’m open to several different scenarios including school pick up/drop off, after school tutoring, evening date night babysitting and so much more! I hope that I can be a part of the integral part of your children’s lives and make an impact in one way or another!

Abby $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m an Art History major at the University of Virginia and currently a visiting student at NYU. I have several years of experience babysitting for family, friends, and younger cousins, as well as volunteering as a tutor for kids from pre-K through middle school. I love working with children and always aim to create a safe, fun, and engaging environment for them. I’m also a big animal lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. Last summer, I worked as a gallery assistant in South Carolina, where I managed the space independently—cleaning, organizing, and helping visitors. That role really taught me responsibility, reliability, and how to stay calm under pressure—qualities I bring to babysitting as well! I am correctly in New York from May 2025 - August 2025 I’d love the opportunity to support your family and get to know your little ones!
