Sarah $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sarah and I am a Brooklyn resident, NYU MFA student, and longtime educator and childcare provider. I spent the last five years running an esteemed fine and performing arts summer camp for children aged 7-17, and have nannied professionally for children ages 3-13. I have experience as a teacher and teaching assistant in NYC Public Schools and most specifically PS75, PS151, and Pace High School. I am looking for some part-time work while in school and would love to connect with you and your family! As my classes change each semester, right now it's hard for me to commit to a schedule past the next few months, but I'd love to be considered for date nights or regular morning or evening shifts! I have a wonderful spouse (who is a full-time K-8 teacher in Brooklyn!) and a corgi named Hoagie. I'm very comfortable with pets and I LOVE to cook! Most recently, I've been making homemade sourdough loaves. I hope to hear from you!

Henna $25 per hour for 1 child

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!

Xarializ $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Xarializ, and I’m a warm, patient, and reliable caregiver with a genuine passion for supporting families. I have 1–2 years of hands-on experience working with infants as well as toddlers with special needs and disabilities. Those experiences have taught me to be attentive, nurturing, and adaptable to each child’s unique needs. **Services I Offer** I provide child care, senior companionship, and pet care. My goal is always to make life easier, safer, and more enjoyable for the people (and pets!) I work with. I’ve cared for infants, helping with feeding, soothing, developmental play, and establishing routines. I also have meaningful experience working with toddlers with special needs, where I’ve supported sensory play, communication development, and gentle structure. I enjoy activities like creative play, reading, outdoor walks, and simple crafts. I’m comfortable helping with homework, basic tutoring, meal prep, and providing a calm, structured environment. I also stay informed about safety practices and child-development approaches, and I take pride in being a dependable, supportive presence for little ones. I have experience offering non-medical senior care, including companionship, meal prep, light housekeeping, and driving to appointments or errands. I enjoy providing support because I genuinely value kindness, patience, and helping seniors feel safe, respected, and cared for. I absolutely love animals—especially cats! I have experience caring for a variety of pets and I’m comfortable with different breeds and temperaments. I can help with walking, feeding, playing, litter box cleaning, and giving your fur babies lots of attention. I’m also comfortable with larger animals and pets that shed. Cat sitting is something I especially enjoy because I love their personalities, their routines, and the calm, cozy energy they bring to a home. Overall, I bring compassion, responsibility, and a positive attitude to every job. I genuinely enjoy building trust and making sure the families and pets I care for feel supported and understood.
