Hi! My name is Xarializ, and I’m a warm, patient, and reliable caregiver with a genuine passion for supporting families. I have 1–2 years of hands-on experience working with infants as well as toddlers with special needs and disabilities. Those experiences have taught me to be attentive, nurturing, and adaptable to each child’s unique needs. **Services I Offer** I provide child care, senior companionship, and pet care. My goal is always to make life easier, safer, and more enjoyable for the people (and pets!) I work with. I’ve cared for infants, helping with feeding, soothing, developmental play, and establishing routines. I also have meaningful experience working with toddlers with special needs, where I’ve supported sensory play, communication development, and gentle structure. I enjoy activities like creative play, reading, outdoor walks, and simple crafts. I’m comfortable helping with homework, basic tutoring, meal prep, and providing a calm, structured environment. I also stay informed about safety practices and child-development approaches, and I take pride in being a dependable, supportive presence for little ones. I have experience offering non-medical senior care, including companionship, meal prep, light housekeeping, and driving to appointments or errands. I enjoy providing support because I genuinely value kindness, patience, and helping seniors feel safe, respected, and cared for. I absolutely love animals—especially cats! I have experience caring for a variety of pets and I’m comfortable with different breeds and temperaments. I can help with walking, feeding, playing, litter box cleaning, and giving your fur babies lots of attention. I’m also comfortable with larger animals and pets that shed. Cat sitting is something I especially enjoy because I love their personalities, their routines, and the calm, cozy energy they bring to a home. Overall, I bring compassion, responsibility, and a positive attitude to every job. I genuinely enjoy building trust and making sure the families and pets I care for feel supported and understood.
Hi! My name is Chiara, I am 25 years old, and I graduated from Syracuse University in 2023. I live in Brooklyn, and I love kids. I have over 10 years of babysitting experience from infants to pre-teens. Would love to chat more to see if I'm a good fit!
“Chiara was wonderful with our 15 month old! Very kind and professional. Would very much recommend working with Chiara. ”
Hello! I'm Marisol and I live on the Upper West Side in Manhattan and am available in all 5 boroughs. I am 31 years old and have extensive experience with working with children and babysitting. I have worked at a Preschool in Park Slope, Les Petits Bilingues De New York, and babysat for several families in Westchester, NY. I have baby sat for 6 years. I am very creative and believe that playing and engaging with the kids I babysit is very important. I'm not about just putting them in front of a screen and sitting on my phone. I'm big on making sure your kids will have fun and get to bed on time. My brother is on the spectrum so kindness is something I really value and I will be very kind to your kids and encourage them in any way I can. I can cook, clean, and make sure everyone gets to bed at their appropriate bed time. I look forward to working for you and your family:) I also love all animals (I'm randomly allergic to cows..but that shouldn't be a problem in NYC ;) and am great at cleaning.
Hi everyone! My name is Kate, and I am seeking a part-time or full-time nanny position. I grew up in Ridgewood, NJ, and I am a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am moving to NYC in the fall to begin my master’s in Mental Health Counseling at Fordham University. I have over 6 years of childcare experience, working with children from 2 weeks to 11 years old. I love spending time outdoors, doing crafts, cooking, and finding creative ways to keep kids active and entertained. I’m happy to help with transportation, activities, meals, and more. I’m also comfortable with pets and happy to assist with light housekeeping if needed!
Hi, it’s nice to meet you! My name is Lizzie and I’m 25 years old originally from Charlotte, NC living in LES! I’ve been working remotely in sales for a data analytics firm since 2022 and given the flexibility of my role, I’m looking for child care opportunities. I started babysitting when I was 14 years old and never took for granted the responsibility and joy I felt from working with children. Along with babysitting, petsitting, and life guarding all of high school; I also was a part time nanny (after school, M-F) for the same family my junior and senior year. I’ve worked with children from the ages of 9 month olds- 13 year olds. I’m extremely grateful for my past childcare opportunities because working with children never fails to brighten my day. I love doing crafts, going to the park, and playing games with the children I watch along with helping teach them the importance of fulfilling their daily responsibilities such as homework, chores, politeness, etc. I also love cooking and baking for children and families. I’m mostly looking for work in the evenings (anytime after 4 on weekdays with full day/night availability on weekends) but I do have more afternoon flexibility on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays for occasional one off roles. Looking forward to being a big or small addition to you and your families lives!
