Jasmine 4 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in New York, NY

Hi! My name is Jasmine and I am offering child care services. I’m patient, trustworthy, reliable, caring, communicative, kind & energetic! Currently working in education and I have been working in schools and with children (toddlers and elementary to high school aged kids) for the past 11 years. Along with babysitting, I am able help out with homework, clean, cook and run any errands. I also grew up playing sports so if you’re kiddo needs any basketball lessons in particular, I would love to help! I am able to interact and engage with children by reading books, watching movies, going outdoors (parks & playgrounds, museums, libraries, or any other activity of your choice), playing games at home, and engaging in more educational activities as well. I require some type of video call before the start date to ensure safety on all ends. I am fully vaccinated and boosted as well. I have no allergies to pets and welcome all furry friends with open arms! I can assure that your children will be safe in my care. Thank you😊

“Jasmine cared for three of our children for three hours and handled three separate pickups smoothly. She was energetic, positive, and an excellent communicator. As a school psychologist, she made me feel confident that she would be capable of handling challenging behavior if it arose. She was a joy to have around, and I will definitely hire her again.”

Maddie $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Maddie, a 22 year old recent college graduate who just started working full time as a paralegal in Manhattan. I’m looking for some extra work with flexible scheduling and really miss my many previous jobs working with children, so I figured this would be the perfect fit!

Jordan $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name's Jordan! Before I joined the corporate world, I spent 7 years coaching children from ages 4-18 in competitive cheerleading. I also doubled as their camp counselor for 4 of those summers. I'm hoping to help out parents in need of a date night, extra hours at work, time to themselves, etc. There aren't many kids in finance! So I thought this would be a good way to reconnect with them, while helping families out. I can also care for your pets if needed - assuming they're okay with new people. I am prepared to keep your children entertained with whichever activity you prefer! Whether that be helping with their homework, reading to/with them, playing games, etc. I can take them to the park, to school, whatever you need!

Marisa $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a second-year student from Southern California studying at business and politics at Fordham University LC. I have an identical twin sister who I am very close with, and who also attends Fordham University! I have 5+ years of babysitting experience for neighborhood family and friends, and an additional year's worth of experience working as an activities coordinator at the Four Seasons Aviara, where I facilitated crafts in the kids club, helped manage operations around the resort, and assisted with babysitting services while parents left their kids in my care on their vacation time. I was a competitive dancer throughout high school where I often helped mentor the "mini" dance team with my studio, including assisting with their classes and helping them get dressed and prepared at competitions. When I am not in class or doing homework, I also really enjoy running, going for walks, -- or doing anything active really -- reading, and hanging out with my friends around the city. I hope to be able to use my services to create a warm and welcome community for the kids left in my care, and assist with whatever actions are needed to ensure a great childhood filled with love and comfort!

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!
