Laura $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Laura, a 35-year-old bilingual (Spanish/English) caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children ages 4 to 13. I hold a degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education, and I’m both CPR and First Aid certified. With a strong background in child development and classroom structure, I create safe, engaging, and age-appropriate experiences — whether it’s helping with homework, organizing creative play, or supporting routines like bedtime or mealtime. I'm patient, responsible, and truly enjoy supporting each child’s unique personality and learning style. I’m available Monday through Friday, mornings to evenings, and also some weekends as needed. I’d be happy to provide references and talk more about how I can support your family. Looking forward to connecting!

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Astoria, NY

"Hello, parents! I'm your go-to babysitter with over 5 years of experience, bringing warmth and enthusiasm to every childcare moment. Not only do I have a knack for keeping little ones entertained, but I also bring educational value through my tutoring expertise. Your child's safety, happiness, and growth are my top priorities. Let's create lasting memories together, one playful adventure at a time!"

“Carter was fantastic, on time, very polite with a great personality. We ended up staying out later than expected and she had no issue staying late. She seemed to be able to get our girl to bed with less trouble than we’ve had lately. We highly recommend Carter as a babysitter ”

Laura $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Laura and I am so excited to get to know you and your children. I have 20 years of babysitting experience, starting when I was in middle school. I also work a 9-5 job in marketing, where I’ve built a 10-year career, but miss spending time with kids! I offer early morning and evening/night care on the weekdays, as well as anytime on weekends, for kids age 1 and up. I have extensive babysitting experience with kids ranging from six months to teenagers. I also have an almost two-year-old niece, who is just the best and has taught me so much. I love watching kids learn and also have 6+ years experience as a math and science tutor from my high school and college days, so am eager to offer my expertise there as well. I am also CPR-certified. I also offer pet care for cats. I don’t have one of my own but I have taken care of many friends’ cats when they are out of town and love the chance to snuggle and play whenever I can get it! I am also happy to help out with other household duties as needed, like grocery shopping, other errands, and organizing the apartment.

Hello families! I'm Sabira, your go-to babysitter! Growing up in a bustling house with lots of nieces and nephews aged 6 months to 18 years old has been the best training ground for my passion in childcare.

Whether it's assisting with homework, playdates, or arts and crafts, l'm here to make every moment memorable. In addition, I have a sister with special needs, so l am well-versed in providing the extra care and attention that special needs children often require.
