Hi! My name is Liam. I'm a 23-year-old student at Columbia University, seeking to offer babysitting services to families. I’m a born and raised New Yorker and love exploring the city in my free time! I love babysitting, and thoroughly enjoy and am very comfortable interacting with children. I can assist in meal-preparation, transportation to and from school and various activities, assistance with homework, and general activities, as well as performing household chores or running errands. I am available early mornings and evenings, and am open to working late hours with room to be flexible. I’m very comfortable with pets! I love dogs and am comfortable working in an animal-friendly environment. I look forward to working with your family!
Hi! I’m an NYU dental student passionate about pediatric dentistry, with valuable experience working closely with children. I’ve worked as a dental assistant in Boston University’s Head Start and Early Head Start programs, where I developed patience, compassion, and strong caregiving skills. I’m CPR certified for infants and adults, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. As a caregiver, I’m nurturing, reliable, and attentive, creating a warm and calm environment where kids feel happy and comfortable. I also enjoy engaging children with creative activities and games that promote learning and fun. Additionally, I have a year of volunteer experience at an animal shelter in Boston, giving me particular expertise in pet care—especially with cats—so I’m happy to help with your furry family members too. I would love to provide loving, responsible babysitting tailored to your family’s needs!
Hi! I'm 28 years old and currently an MSW student at Fordham University with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages. I've worked with families in their homes, in after-school programs, and in child advocacy. I truly enjoy building relationships with the families I work with and creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for kids. I'm happy to help with whatever makes your day a little easier—whether that's keeping your children engaged, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, getting them safely to and from activities, or pitching in with household tasks like dishes, laundry, and light tidying. I also offer pet sitting and house sitting and know how important it is to have someone reliable caring for your home and pets while you're away. I'm dependable, organized, and easy to communicate with, and I always treat your home with respect. I know how much trust goes into finding the right caregiver, and I don't take that lightly. My goal is to make sure your children, pets, and home are well cared for so you can have peace of mind. I have references available upon request, and I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family!
Hi! My name is Sofia, and I offer child care, pet care, and household assistance. I’ve been babysitting children between the ages of 1-10 years old for 5+ years, and previously worked as a preschool aftercare coordinator for children ages 2–4. I’m CPR certified and love engaging kids through literature, art, and creative play—I’ve taken art classes my whole life and enjoy organizing crafts, reading, and helping with schoolwork! I am very comfortable with feeding, naptime, bedtime, cleaning/bathing routines for little ones as well! I also have tutoring experience from college, where I worked as a TA, and I’m happy to support learning and assistance with reading/schoolwork at any level. In addition to childcare, I’m very organized and can help with cleaning, errands, and general household tasks. I’m comfortable with pets and frequently dog sit on weekends. I’m a neuroscience graduate currently working in clinical research and will be starting medical school soon. I’m bilingual, punctual, outgoing, and genuinely enjoy caring for others of all ages!
