Nicole $21 per hour for 1 child

Experienced and reliable 21-year-old babysitter with over five years of hands-on childcare experience. From a young age, I’ve been the go-to babysitter for family, friends, and neighbors, caring for children of all ages. I officially started babysitting at 16 and have since worked extensively with pre-school and elementary-aged kids, providing attentive, engaging, and nurturing care. Whether helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or ensuring a smooth bedtime routine, I strive to create a safe and enjoyable environment for every child I look after. Currently a senior at Adelphi University, I will be starting dental school at the end of the summer. I have my own car for reliable transportation, making pick-ups, drop-offs, and last-minute scheduling easy. I’m fluent in both English and Russian and also comfortable around pets, as I have two dogs of my own. My experience, patience, and genuine love for working with children make me a dependable choice for any family in need of a caring and responsible babysitter.

Carley $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Carley, and I am a recent master's graduate in art therapy. My education has given me a strong understanding of children’s unique needs, including how temperament and developmental stages (including creative development!) can shape the way a child experiences the world. I would love to bring along age-appropriate art materials to nurture your child’s self-expression and budding curiosities! My favorite part of caregiving is engaging with children’s imagination, along with the limitless questions and humor that often arise. I also enjoy approaching childcare with creative problem-solving. On multiple occasions, I have successfully distracted a child from a screen by drawing their favorite character and inviting them to color it. I have experience caring for children from infancy through the pre-teen years. I have lived in NYC for a decade and am also comfortable commuting with children on public transportation. My approach is collaborative — I want to work within your parenting style while taking the time to understand your child’s individual personality and inner world. I bring a warm presence, a playful spirit, and a genuine enjoyment of following children’s interests and seeing where their curiosity takes them.

Booked by 4 families in Brooklyn, NY

Hello! I am currently a full-time therapist and per diem family support specialist. I am looking to earn extra income to help with my student loans. I have many years of experience with and a passion for helping children of all ages and developmental stages. I can provide child, senior, and pet care. I have been a babysitter for over 12 years, starting when I was in early high school. Additionally, I was a camp counselor for four years (children from 1st grade to juniors in high school), a YMCA afterschool counselor for one year (for 26 pre-K and 1st graders), and a teacher's aide (for 3 pre-K classes) for one year. I have worked with children from pre-K to high school. I have experience working with children and teens who have intellectual and developmental disabilities, existing on a range of verbal and nonverbal capacities, as well as children in foster care. I also helped care for seniors with chronic health conditions for a year too. I have provided these populations a range of services, including but not limited to safe supervised play, arts and crafts, tutoring, prepared snacks, and social skills. I was an executive assistant for a year so I can help with any administrative assistance. I can also help with household chores, errands, grocery shopping. I have been a pet (both dogs and cats) sitter, boarder, and walker for five years. I walked (two times per week for an hour), sat, and boarded one dog specifically regularly for one year. Overall, I have a passion, experience, and the care for working with children, seniors, and pets of all ages. I am kind, fun, detailed, and genuine.
