Miranda $22 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting since I was 14years old and love kids! I volunteered in the nursery (ages 1 through 4) at my church all four years of high school. In addition, while in college I nannied for two years. I have continued to babysit post graduation as much as I can! I was an early learners tutor at Kumon and taught swimming to kids ages 2 and up. So in addition to Babysitting, I’m well equipped to help with homework and provide swimming lessons!

Booked by 1 family in Howard Beach, NY

Hi everyone! My name is Maren, I am a recent graduate from the Rhode Island School of Design where I received my MFA in illustration. Now I’ve relocated to Brooklyn with my fiance, and am starting a new chapter of life! I love kids, I taught dance to 15 elementary students for four years in high school, have two rambunctious cousins (7,11) at home who I take care of when I see them and grew up sitting from the age of 12. I love to bring activities, play, and just hear the crazy things kids say. I am a fantastic cook and quite the voice actor when it comes to picture books. Can’t wait to meet you!

Fitri $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi There! I’m Fitri! I’m a warm, reliable, and detail-oriented caregiver with 3+ years of experience caring for toddlers and children through teaching, babysitting, and children’s programs. I’m a mom myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your child and your home. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and enjoy creating a safe, positive environment where children can play, learn, and feel comfortable. I’m experienced with age-appropriate activities, reading, creative play, learning, mealtimes, routines, and helping children develop independence. I especially enjoy caring for toddlers and young children and keeping them engaged throughout the day. I’m also an excellent household helper. I’m highly organized and have a strong eye for detail. I genuinely enjoy cleaning and turning messy spaces into clean, tidy, and organized ones! I can help with children’s laundry, dishes, toy and playroom organization, light cleaning, tidying, groceries, errands, and other household tasks that make busy parents’ lives easier. I hold an MPA from Columbia University’s SIPA and am currently on sabbatical from my government position in Indonesia while living in New York. I speak Indonesian and English fluently and have basic Spanish. Whether you need a trusted date-night sitter, regular childcare, toddler care, or an extra pair of hands around the house, I’d be happy to support your family. I treat every home with care and every child with patience, respect, and genuine attention. Best, Fitri [removed]284 [removed] _____ P.S. I’m open to part-time opportunities during my career transition. You can find my background here:[removed]

Chaya $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi My name is Maisie, I'm 29 and a culinary school graduate. I hope you can look past my lack of reviews I've yet to book any jobs here, I'd be happy to provide personal references. I have a nephew who's nearly five and a niece who's nearly three. Since becoming an aunt I've spent quite a bit of time providing my sister with the extra help she's needed. Aside from the usual hands on auntie time, I moved in with my sister for the month after my niece was born to help out. Additionally, when she was 9 months old, I spent a week alone with her as I transitioned her from breast feeding to formula. I have experience bathing, feeding, and changing their diapers. I feel comfortable in the kitchen and can help with meals. I'm very health conscious, and can provide nutritious meals. I don't have a car of my own, however, I can drive. I'm also a huge lover of dogs and have some experience with dog sitting/walking. A little fun fact about me, I actually grew up in brooklyn. I was raised to love and appreciate all the beauty and culture this wonderful city has to offer. I'd love to help pass that on to your kids with walks around the city, museum visits, and park days.
