I am a native New Mexican currently living in the South Bronx. I have a bachelors degree in Anthropology from UNM. I’m a flight attendant for a major airline. I fly part time & currently have both doses of the Pfizer vaccine plus booster ! In lieu of recent events, my usual flying schedule has decreased which has given me the opportunity to stay grounded in the city. I have extended experience babysitting & handling stressful situations. I love animals, art, music and am happy to share my admiration for these hobbies with any child eager to expand their curious minds. I love to hear and learn about any infant care routines that make your baby feel safe and loved. Looking forward to helping out with occasional jobs.

“Showed up on time and was great with the kids! Appreciated the regular updates and communication.”

- I ask for a car home after 10pm for safety. Thanks! Hi! I am an actress/singer/photographer/web designer who adores kids! (and pets!) Originally from Kansas City, I have been living in NYC for 18 years. I graduated with a BFA in Musical Theatre from Webster Conservatory of Theatre Arts in St. Louis, MO. Not only do I love spending time with kids - I also love performing for them. I have toured the country performing in the Dr. Seuss musical SEUSSICAL and I have also performed with Disney Cruise Line playing Mary Poppins, Mrs. Potts, The Fairy Godmother and more! I began babysitting when my little brother was born (I was 11) and I have been babysitting ever since! I adore kids and their outlook on life. They bring me so much joy. I have worked with newborns, teens and every age in between. I audition a lot during week days so nights and weekends are best for me. (I do not mind working really late nights!) I look forward to meeting you and your family!

“Mallory was wonderful with our 9 month old son!! She was great at communicating and made my husband and I feel fully at ease being away from him for the night. We highly recommend her!!”

Hi! I'm Moni. I work in a flexible freelance role, and occasionally babysit and help with organizing spaces on the side when I'm free. I've always had a nuturing side from a young age from helping out my family with their kiddos and for many pets. I'm comfortable around all creatures- including farm animals and reptiles:) I have plenty experience caring for newborns to teens, and always encourage exploring their creativity, learning abilities, and talents in whatever it may be. I was a jazz/tap dancer at a younger age so I love dance. Plus hiking and cycling, DIY, gardening, music, cooking, theatre, painting, and organizing spaces. In my free time I volunteer at different organizations for youth and animals, and go to as many museums and road trips as I can. Note: I’m open to lower hourly/flat rate for pet/animal care, and able to help walk/feed/do check-ins/companion time for pets.

Resume Link:[removed] Hi, my name is Lindsey! I love working with children of all ages, especially infants and toddlers! I have an associate degree in early childhood education from Sauk Valley Community College and plan to pursue a bachelor's degree in the future. I have experience as a summer and after-school counselor, working with kids aged K-5th grade, and, most recently, as a full-time assistant daycare teacher in a 15-30 month classroom. I would also occasionally work in the daycare infant room when needed. One of the main reasons I love working with children is their innate love for exploration, creativity, and learning; just like myself! I believe that children need a strong, safe, and trustworthy support system to thrive, and I will provide all of those qualities. I love to sing, dance, read, write, craft, explore new places, and spend time in nature; all of which are traits that I directly apply when working with children. Furthermore, I am deeply passionate about teaching children age-appropriate emotional intelligence and regulation. While working in daycare, I taught my toddlers the names and feelings of different emotions, breathing exercises, how to find a trusted adult in times of emotional distress, how to say to a peer “Stop!” and “I do not like that!”, healthy ways to express anger, frustration, or other “upset” emotions without physically harming oneself or others, and where to find a safe and calm space to “calm their body.” For me, helping a child grow emotionally is incredibly rewarding, and I am ready and willing to nurture this growth with every child I work with. In addition to childcare, I am experienced in caring for dogs, cats, bearded dragons or similar reptiles, hedgehogs, beta fish, and parakeets (my family has had lots of pets over the years!). Additionally, having worked multiple customer service jobs and maintained the cleanliness of a toddler classroom, I am highly experienced in housekeeping services and running errands.

Booked by 255 families in Jackson Heights, NY

Hello and welcome to my profile! My name is Carolina, I’m a 31 year old dog lover and passionate about fashion and beauty. I’ve always loved babies and kids, and have been a babysitter for 14 years, started with local families in my hometown when I was in High School, and continued doing it for families around New York since I moved to the city in 2018. I am CPR and First Aid certified (willing to provide proof) and have 16 years of experience with all ages from newborns to teenagers. I always decide and adapt the activities I do with them according to their age and interests, but some of my favorite things to do with the kids are: - Teaching them Spanish - Spending time outdoors at parks or playgrounds - Drawing, crafting, and reading - Building legos, blocks, or puzzles - Baking and cooking IMPORTANT: - I was a preemie baby and I catch viruses and colds easily, so I cannot babysit sick babies/kids. BOOKING POLICIES: If the booking starts later or ends earlier than expected, I still expect the payment for the original booking agreed. CANCELLATIONS: For cancellations with less than 48 hours notice, I require 50% of the original booking amount and for the ones with less than 24 hours notice, 100% of the original booking amount, which can be paid via Zelle or Venmo. Feel free to send a message if you have any questions. I am very much looking forward to meeting you and your children.

“Carolina was very nice and sweet for our little one, highly recommend her!”
