Halema 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Arverne, NY

Hello, I’m Halema! I’m attending Hofstra University on a Pre-PT track. I’ve been involved in child care throughout my life. I’ve been babysitting for over 5 years and took part in various environments that required me to take care of children. Such environments would be coaching, tutoring, and volunteering at elementary schools. I’m certified in CPR and First Aid. I would describe myself as patient, responsible, and engaging. I’m based in Hempstead during the school year but am from Brooklyn. I can provide references/recommendations of my services. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your family!

“Halema is fantastic! She was warm and upbeat, professional, and went above and beyond what we asked her to do while caring for our three year-old. Our kiddo had a great time with her and she was communicative with photos and updates. I would definitely recommend her to other families looking for a warm and reliable sitter and will book her again! ”

Booked by 6 families in Arverne, NY

Hi! My name is Lois. I am nanny/babysitter with 10+ years of experience. I have worked with a wide range of families and age ranges from infants to pre-teens. This has equipped me with a quick mind and adaptability for any situation. I love to combine my love of theater and knowledge to create engaging activities for kids that allow them to not only learn but expand their sense of self expression . I have some prior experience working with kids with on the spectrum, and I am CPR and First Aid Certified. Excited to meet you!

“Our family was so lucky to find Lois! During a 6 month project Lois came in and provided my two children (6 and 9) with after school care. Lois is prompt, kind and efficient. She was flexible with my evolving schedule and able to accommodate us during the random days off during the school year. Lois is incredibly fun, energetic and full of fantastic imaginative ideas. Always ready to run in the sunshine with both kids at the park, she was equally adept at making a rainy day fun. She played with both my creative story loving younger child, and could effortlessly flip over to a fun competitive game of pokemon or chess with my older child. There was always music and laughter. They never wanted her to leave.”

Booked by 12 families in Arverne, NY

Hello my name is Sherley I’m 24 years old, a recent graduate from St. Francis College. I'd describe my personality as attentive, compassionate and caring. I started working with kids when I was 14, I started at a day care center and gradually started as a paraprofessional. Currently I work as a Care manager. Working with children allows you to see growth and progress in amazing, measurable ways. While there may be setbacks, you will see the joy on each child's face as they learn new things from you. Working with kids is fun, no single day is the same. Children make you a more knowledgeable person: Children are, by nature, very curious. Working with children reminds you of how amazing and exciting the world can be. My skills include being Patient, understanding and compassionate. I am comfortable with pets. No allergies!

“Sherley arrived on time and was very warm and friendly. She engaged my son in one of his preferred activities and was responsive when we texted to check in. We felt comfortable with her and would be glad to hire her again.”

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 53 families in Arverne, NY

I started working as a mother's helper at the age of 10, and have been babysitting ever since! In high school I worked as a nanny 20 hours a week for a wonderful family with two infants, and also volunteered at Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital to ensure children separated from their parents for long periods of time were receiving the critical attention needed to develop their gross and fine motor skills. During college I worked as an occasional sitter for many different families in the D.C. area. I have been living in New York for about 5 years now and work full-time as a Copywriter at a creative agency, so I just take a few babysitting jobs each month on nights and weekend :) For five summers when I was 18-23, I worked as a counselor at Camp Onaway, a sleep-away camp for girls ages 8-15 in New Hampshire. After graduating from the University of Maryland in December 2016, I worked at a Swiss boarding school as a dorm counselor, Spanish Instructor, and as a ski instructor. In short, I LOVE hanging out with kids both younger and older! I have ample experience with newborns, infants, and toddlers, and I love kids of all ages and needs. I have babysat for children with special needs and behavioral differences, and I am always happy to accommodate any communication/behavioral/educational methods that your family prefers (though I do not have any specific certifications or training for different needs). I speak Russian and Spanish and I am happy to help children learning either language by simply speaking to them or working on certain vocabulary. I am happy to tidy the house or help out in the kitchen when babysitting, help with homework, run errands, etc. Thanks for your consideration!

Booked by 1 family in Arverne, NY

Currently a media professional, I’ve always loved caring for others. I grew up with the mindset that if you take care of your community, your community will take care of you. I worked at my family’s daycare center for 5 years while in high school and some throughout college. While in college a volunteered at an underserved after school program, where I established a library and secured grants to expand the program. Working with families and children, while helping them flourish has always been a passion.

“My dog is really shy and anxious, but bonded really well with Olivia. She sent photos and videos throughout to show me he was having the best time!”
