Nadhira 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have over 5 years of experience in preschool, after school settings with children varying from 2 to 17 years old. In home settings, I have provided childcare for more than 30 families with various needs from the ages of 9 months to 10 years old. Responsibilities included gentle wake ups or lengthy bedtime routines, preparing meals, travels to and from school or extra curricular activities, and more! I am also more than happy to assist with household chores and pet care! I have lived with and cared for both cats and dogs.

“Nadhira is the kind of person kids naturally light up around. She’s been caring for my son since he was three—he’s eleven now—and his reaction to her has never changed. She’s kind, responsible, and genuinely attentive to what a child needs in the moment. Peace of mind matters to me, and I feel completely at ease when Nadhira is caring for my son.”

Jordan $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello parents and caregivers! I'm Jordan, a NYC–based caregiver with a passion for childcare! I'm a recent UC Berkeley alum who has spent countless hours through education-centered coursework and hands on experience investing in the bright minds of tomorrow! My experience includes working with children in both formal household settings, as well as in educational environments (through tutoring and volunteering at school events). I bring a thoughtful, attentive approach to caregiving that prioritizes safety, creativity, and emotional awareness. Beyond childcare, I have experience assisting with pet care and household tasks, and I’m happy to support busy families with errands or light upkeep as needed. I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of each family’s values and routines. Whether it’s keeping kids entertained off-screens, helping them learn or simply making sure they feel safe and heard, I aim to create a calm, positive environment parents can trust!

Linsey 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Forest Hills, NY

Hi! My name is Linsey and I’m currently 21 years old! I moved to NYC from Los Angeles at the beginning of August, and I’m super excited to be here! I’ve been babysitting a lot more consistently after graduating high school to become more financially independent, and since then have made many incredible relationships with children I’ve sat for! I’ve been babysitting since 13 or 14 years old helping out my older sister take care of her two children. I cultivated a love for taking care of children and started to continue doing it outside of my family with family friends. I have taken care of ages 6 months to pre-teens. My goal with children is to just have fun and be creative, and encourage them to be themselves—I have a gentle but assertive approach with kids but very willing to adapt to your preferred approach! My responsibilities I’ve taken on have been getting a child ready for school, driving kids, taking them to their afterschool activities, feeding them dinner, taking them to the park/swimming pool etc, organizing their rooms, among other things. I love cats and dogs so pets aren’t an issue at all, they’re welcomed! I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life—especially cats—and I absolutely adore them. I have lots of experience changing a litter box, feeding pets, taking them for walks, playing with them, etc. Also certified in CPR!

“Would definitely recommend Linsey! She was very professional, and my daughter liked her a lot”

Hi there! I’m Ashley, a Montessori-trained preschool and kindergarten teacher! 🍎 I love babysitting and have 10+ years of experience working with infants, toddlers, and elementary-aged children allowing me to cater for each personality and need! As a Montessori educator I bring a patient, attentive approach that focuses on providing a safe, joyful environment! Whether it’s maintaining calm routines such as meals, naps/bedtime, and homework or going on adventures, playing it the park, or getting crafty my goal is to support and enrich! ☀️ Pet care, light house keeping, and household assistance are available!

“I've worked with Ashley and would definitely recommend her. She's dependable, communicative, and works well with children of all ages. She’s patient, kind, and hardworking, and she does a great job building positive relationships with both children and families. She also has a strong background in Montessori education and is a great resource for parents. Any family would be lucky to have her as a caregiver.”
