Hi! I'm Irlanda, a caring, dependable, and energetic childcare professional with over 8 years of experience working with infants, toddlers, and young children. I've worked as both a Teacher Assistant and Head Teacher in early childhood education, where I've planned engaging activities, supported children's development, and built strong relationships with families. I'm also completing my Master's degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), which has strengthened my communication skills and understanding of child development. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn through play, exploration, and creativity. Whether we're reading stories, doing arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, or working on age-appropriate learning activities, I strive to make every child feel supported and encouraged. Families describe me as patient, responsible, organized, and easy to communicate with. I'm comfortable caring for multiple children, preparing meals and snacks, helping with bedtime routines, and keeping parents updated throughout the day. My goal is to give parents peace of mind while ensuring their little ones feel happy, safe, and cared for.
Hello! My name is Jasmine and I’m offering babysitting services for all ages. I provide the perfect balance of fun, care, and routine. I know how important it is to make sure your kids stick to their routine, and I’ll be able to do that! I’m pretty funny and great at entertaining kids. Kids usually gravitate towards me! My inner child is very much alive so whether they’re going to the park or staying home, I’ll make sure the kids are occupied with games, story time, or homework. I have no problem helping with homework! By the time you get home, the homework will be done and toys will be cleaned up…unless they’re still playing of course. I went to Barnard College where I majored in psychology. I graduated in 2015. During my undergrad I was part of the Barnard Babysitting Agency for at least 3 years (I can't remember if I joined my freshman year or sophomore year). During that time I had several consistent babysitting jobs. I mostly had toddlers, but on occasion I had young children around 8 years old. I also babysat twin teenagers for a short time. I have experience changing diapers, cooking food, heating up food in a household with no microwave, and some housekeeping (dishes, tidying up). I have experience taking kids to afterschool activities like karate, the park, and the children's museum. To show I go the extra mile, I don’t have piano training, but I once helped one of the children I was babysitting practice their piano lessons. On that day he improved and I learned how to play Ol McDonald Had a Farm. In my family, I have a baby cousin who I have babysat since she was just a few months old (she's 13 now!) I’m great with kids and also pets! If you have a cat, dog, snake, bird, hamster, I’m a lover of all animals and I’m not allergic to any!
“Jasmine Ruiz has babysat my 13-year-old daughter, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her! Jasmine is kind, caring, responsible, and very personable. She has a natural ability to connect with teenagers and understands their language, interests, and personalities, which makes such a difference. My daughter feels comfortable, happy, and, most importantly, safe in Jasmine’s care. Jasmine is not someone who simply supervises children; she genuinely engages with them, plays games, interacts, and makes sure they have a great time. She is also a great cook and wonderful with animals, which is an added bonus! One of the qualities I appreciate most about Jasmine is her communication. At the end of each day, she provides thoughtful feedback about how everything went. She is very observant and vigilant, and if she notices any concerns, she makes sure parents are informed. As a mother, having someone who is trustworthy, attentive, nurturing, and genuinely enjoys spending time with children gives me tremendous peace of mind. I highly recommend Jasmine Ruiz to any family looking for a dependable, compassionate, and engaging babysitter. She is truly a gem! ❤️”
Hi, My name is Victoria and I was born and raised in the UK relocating to CA in 1999 where I raised my beautiful daughter Alexandra. I have lived in NYC for the past 8 years. I have many years of experience taking care of children of all ages. I am responsible, punctual, kind and patient. I thoroughly enjoy taking care of children and will always provide a safe environment for your child.
“Victoria was very responsive and on time. She engaged with my son well and they played games together.”
Hi! I’m Lia, a caring, responsible, and nurturing caregiver with experience working closely with young children. As a violinist getting a degree in music performance, I’ve taught violin to younger kids, which has taught me how to be patient, encouraging, attentive, and able to communicate with children of different personalities and learning styles. I also grew up helping take care of my younger cousins, so being around children and looking after them has always felt very natural to me. I moved to New York at a young age to study violin at Juilliard Pre-college and became very independent early on, which taught me how to be responsible, organized, dependable, and comfortable handling things on my own. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust and feel completely comfortable leaving their children with. I’m also an experienced pet caregiver and currently work through Rover as a dog sitter and walker, where I have received five-star reviews from clients. Caring for animals has strengthened my attentiveness, patience, and ability to follow routines and specific instructions. Overall, I’m naturally very nurturing and would love to be someone a family can rely on, whether that means keeping children entertained, helping with homework or music, preparing meals, caring for pets, or helping around the home. I can also provide services in Mandarin if needed, as well as violin and beginner piano.
I love working with kids of all ages but specialize in school ages 5-14. I currently work in a middle school as a social worker and have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years. I am fun loving, caring, and a good match for kids of all ages and needs to support in keeping their day running as smooth as possible. I love theater, art, museums, and reading.
