Ellie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ellie and I am a senior at Fordham University majoring in psychology and English. I have been babysitting since I was 15 and would love to take care of your kids :)) In the past, I've made simple meals for kids, picked them up from school, walked them to parks, playdates, and restaurants, and have spent all day hanging out with them! I'm also happy to help organize your home or run errands. I (sadly) have no pets at school, but I have a dog at home and LOVE cats, so I'd be more than happy to meet and care for your pets too!

D’ana $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m D’ana 😊 I’m a college student finishing my junior year and currently work as a teacher’s assistant in a Pre-K classroom with the NYC Department of Education. I have 2+ years of babysitting experience with children from 8 months to 8 years old, including caring for multiple kids at once. Working in both home and classroom settings has helped me build a strong balance of being fun, patient, and structured. I love keeping kids engaged through creative activities like arts & crafts, games, and hands-on learning. I also help with homework especially reading and writing and always try to make learning feel fun and encouraging. I’m looking for part-time babysitting where I can build meaningful connections with families while providing safe, reliable, and attentive care. A little about me: I have a dog named Cleo 🐶 and I’m currently challenging myself to read 100 books this year (I’m already at 15!).

Margarita $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m 25 years old and I work at children’s parties on weekends, doing face painting, balloon twisting, and other entertainment activities. I’ve been doing this for over three years. I also offer dog sitting in my home together with my fiancé. I love being around kids and animals — they bring so much joy and warmth into life! 🐶 I’m looking for extra opportunities to work in my free time, which is why I decided to create a profile here. My schedule is quite flexible, although I’m usually busy on weekends. I’d love to chat and discuss all the details personally! ✨
