Booked by 3 families in East Elmhurst, NY

I started working with children from a very young age. I have experience as a nanny and camp counselor. I also am an animal lover and love long walks with furry friends. Being the oldest sibling, it is in my nature to be a caregiver and I am very patient and lots of fun. A fun fact about me is I love books and music!

**fully vaccinated, immune as of March 20** Hey, everyone, Andrew here. As we enter the new normal, I'd love to discuss your specific childcare needs. In addition to my usual balance of comedy and care, I'm invested in the crucially important health of your family. An actor by trade, I'm also looking at a summer and fall without work or auditions, so I have more availability than usual. Don't hesitate to reach out. I have 6 years of NYC babysitting experience, and I live off the ABCD at 145th. Express trains for the win! I am background-checked and trained in CPR and First Aid, and you can get a great sense of my work from the reviews here on my profile. I'm an actor by trade and lover of yoga, animals, plants, and I'll always pay extra for guac. My goal is to have a positive impact on a family's day--and maybe a child's outlook--and I love to encourage creativity and cooperation in kids of all ages. I'm sensitive to sibling dynamics thanks to my two siblings (also searchable on here--Laura and Tommy), and I'm engaging, patient, and eager to get out to a playground, park, or library. Please note that I also request 36 hours' notice of a cancellation or shortening of a booking. After the 36 hours, I request payment in full for--at minimum--the hours originally booked. Thanks very much for your understanding! For bookings ending 10pm or later, I request a car home or money to book a car myself--since the trains get so strange late at night. Thanks immensely for considering me--I look forward to hearing from you!

“Andrew was so good with my (sometimes fussy) 5-month old! Andrew helped out for a week and was a lifesaver. He has great energy, is comfortable with infants and is a joy to be around. Highly recommend Andrew!”

Booked by 7 families in East Elmhurst, NY

Hi! My name is Tess and I am a student at Fordham University. I am offering babysitting, pet care and household chore services. I have been a babysitter since I was twelve, starting as a mother's helper and onwards from there. My responsibilities included driving to and from school, helping with homework, sports and activites, putting the kiddos to bed, and overall general home care. I have worked with ages 1-14, as a babysitter, camp counselor and nanny. As a sociology major, I hope to start a career in early education! I am happy to help with any animals, as a cat and dog lover myself. I'm currently working with a range of ages, from 1-14 but am happy to help with younger or older.

“We are so happy we found Tess, she inspired confidence from our first interview. I was nervous about finding a sitter for my 10 month old but now I look forward to her playtime with Tess while I’m in class. She’s been super punctual, flexible, and professional- best of all she seems to click with our baby, who is always happy at pick up time! ”

Booked by 6 families in East Elmhurst, NY

Hi! My name is Lois. I am nanny/babysitter with 10+ years of experience. I have worked with a wide range of families and age ranges from infants to pre-teens. This has equipped me with a quick mind and adaptability for any situation. I love to combine my love of theater and knowledge to create engaging activities for kids that allow them to not only learn but expand their sense of self expression . I have some prior experience working with kids with on the spectrum, and I am CPR and First Aid Certified. Excited to meet you!

“Our family was so lucky to find Lois! During a 6 month project Lois came in and provided my two children (6 and 9) with after school care. Lois is prompt, kind and efficient. She was flexible with my evolving schedule and able to accommodate us during the random days off during the school year. Lois is incredibly fun, energetic and full of fantastic imaginative ideas. Always ready to run in the sunshine with both kids at the park, she was equally adept at making a rainy day fun. She played with both my creative story loving younger child, and could effortlessly flip over to a fun competitive game of pokemon or chess with my older child. There was always music and laughter. They never wanted her to leave.”
