Sydney $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sydney and I am 25 years old. Here’s a little bit about me as you’re considering me as a potential caretaker for your family. I graduated top of my class from the University of Virginia in 2022, with a degree in marketing and business analytics. I am the oldest of 4 children and have been babysitting since I was 14 years old. I’ve cared for children of all ages and for families with multiple children and pets. In addition to babysitting, I am more than happy to help out in other ways such as grocery shopping, cooking, and house tidying. I worked as a housekeeper on a luxury guest ranch for a summer so I have lots of experience caring for a space. In my free time I love to cook, take yoga classes, read, and try new restaurants in the city. Please reach out with any other questions :)

Nicole $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nikki, and I have over 3 years of experience working with children and pets. Im an undergraduate at NYU, studying Psychology with a minor in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies! I plan on going to law school after graduating with my bachelors. I’m dependable, patient, and love creating a fun, safe environment where kids can learn and grow. I’ve worked with children of different ages, helping with everything from playtime and homework to meal prep and bedtime routines. I grew up in a Hispanic household and am able to speak a bit of spanish as well! I’m also an animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats — walking, feeding, and giving them plenty of attention. I take pride in being responsible, organized, and someone families can trust.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Long Island City, 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”
