Chloe $19 per hour for 1 child

NYC born and raised (Lower Manhattan), I've been babysitting kids ages 1–12 for years and genuinely love it. Whether it's completing a puzzle on the living room floor, exploring the city together, or picking them up from practice or class, I'm happiest spending time with kids and keeping them engaged. I'm experienced with the full routine from meals, bedtime, baths, the works, and I take full responsibility to make sure everything is taken care of for the child. I have a very flexible schedule over the next few weeks before heading back to college, so I can work around your family's needs.

Booked by 1 family in Jackson Heights, NY

Hi there! I'm a 40 something-year-old Brooklyn resident, dog owner, and lifelong animal lover looking to care for your pets while you're away. My own rescue dogs have taught me a lot about patience, routine, and reading what an animal needs even when they can't tell you directly — from an anxious wait by the door to a happy tail-wag greeting. I know that handing your pet over to someone else, especially while you're traveling, can bring up a lot of worry: Will they get enough exercise? Will someone notice if something's off? Will I get updates? As a frequent traveler myself, I've been on both sides of that anxiety, and I take it seriously. I'm primarily interested in short-term dog care, with a 2-night minimum preferred — long weekends, extended trips, or overnight stays in your home or mine. I'm comfortable with multiple dogs if they're used to each other, and happy to administer medication as needed. I work with dogs at every life stage. I have hands-on experience with puppies, including the consistency and patience that early training and routine-building require, as well as with senior dogs and end-of-life care, where comfort, gentleness, and close attention to changing needs matter most. Whatever stage your dog is in, I'll approach their care with the same warmth and attentiveness. You can expect me to be reliable, communicative, and genuinely attentive — I'll follow your routines, send photo/text updates, and treat your pet with the same care I'd want for my own. If you're looking for someone calm, experienced, and trustworthy to look after your furry family member, I'd love to help.

“Isis is a reliable, consistent pet sitter. We've loved working with her and hope she is always available for us!!”

Chloe $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Chloe; it is great to meet you! As a recent college graduate and the eldest of seven siblings, caretaking has been a central part of my life for as some of my earliest memories. Growing up, I took on the responsibility of watching and caring for my sisters and borther from a young age, which naturally fostered my deep compassion and patience. This lifelong experience, combined with being a certified Emergency Medical Technician, equips me with a unique ability to connect with and support children across a wide variety of ages and needs. Whether navigating daily routines or managing unexpected situations, I am dedicated to providing a safe, caring, and fun environment for every child in my care!

Hi! My name is Camille, and I am 21 years old. I am offering childcare and household services. I am currently a student at Fordham University, but I am from New Orleans, LA!
