Alexandra $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Alex and I’m currently a college student at the New School. I have been babysitting for the past three years for children around the ages of five to twelve. I also have experience in tutoring children in reading and writing. I’m also an art student so if your child has any interest in art I’d be more than happy to nurture their interest in teaching them and taking them to art museums. I also have experience in caring for cats and reptiles. So if you have either I’d be willing to care for them in anyway they need.

Bianca $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated, responsible, and caring person with over 5 years of experience working directly with children of different ages. I enjoy creating a welcoming and fun environment where they can feel safe and stimulated. I am patient and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I have strong references and am available to talk. In addition to childcare, I can also assist with basic household tasks, especially those related to the children, such as meal preparation, tidying up play areas, and helping with their daily routines. In my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to music, spending time outdoors, and being with family and friends. I also appreciate creative activities such as crafts and cooking, which I often incorporate into play and activities with children.

Sara $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a responsible, creative, and warm babysitter who truly enjoys creating a welcoming and positive environment for children of all ages. I believe every child is unique, and I take the time to understand their individual personality, interests, and needs. I love planning engaging activities that encourage creativity and learning, while also making sure kids feel safe, supported, and heard. Whether it’s imaginative play, arts and crafts, reading, or helping with routines, I always bring patience and care to everything I do. I value open communication and enjoy working closely with parents to ensure their expectations are met and their child’s individualized needs are supported. My goal is to create a nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and families feel confident in the care I provide. I look forward to connecting with your family!

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

Hi! I'm Molly and I'm an actress and writer based in Brooklyn! I'm really passionate about working with kids; at 19, I co-founded a theatre camp for kids aged 9-14, in college I took a full-year course in teaching artistry, and this summer I've been working at a theatre camp for kids aged 3-6. I love making crafts, going to the park, and reading (some favorites include Frog and Toad and Anne of Green Gables). I can't wait to meet your family!

“Molly was an absolute lifesaver today! We reached out on very short notice to find childcare so my wife and I could celebrate her birthday with a run around Central Park, and Molly stepped in without hesitation. From the start, she was a complete pleasure to deal with—responsive, kind, and professional. She arrived right on time (actually early, to be exact) and stayed for the entire duration we needed. Most importantly, she was incredibly fun and engaging with our children; they had a wonderful time with her, which gave us total peace of mind while we were out. As a true New York expert, she knows the city inside and out. We could not recommend Molly more highly to any family in need of a dependable, warm, and fantastic babysitter in NYC. We would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
