Lindsay $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Lindsay and I'm a UC Berkeley graduate from Los Angeles, California who moved to NYC last May and currently works in advertising. I love babysitting and have experience independently watching kids as young as 1 and as old as 14. I worked as a summer camp counselor for multiple years where I was in charge of kids between the ages of 4 and 7. I've helped with homework, made food, changed diapers, and planned arts and crafts. I can also serve as a personal assistant and run any errands or help clean up. I grew up with dogs and would be comfortable helping take care of them as well.

Ammar 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

I began working with children initially in 2011. I started as an assistant to a Taekwondo sensei (Now known as Johnny Karate on Court Street) when I was a junior black belt. From 2[removed] I worked in Kids Orbit After School Program based in Brooklyn New York, and their summer program Park Slope Day Camp where I worked for 3 summers (2 as a supervisor). Within those 3 years with Kids Orbit/PSDC, I was a Taekwondo Specialist, worked their after school program as a counselor, and worked in public elementary schools as a recess employee. During this timeframe I graduated from Brooklyn College with a Bachelors degree where I majored in psychology and Children and Youth Studies (3.94 GPA). I began babysitting for 1 family exclusively for 4 years from approximately 2014-2018 in Carroll Gardens. I worked with a 7 year old girl and 4 year old boy until they turned 11 and 8 respectively. In 2018, I had to leave that babysitting opportunity as I began working with the Administration for Children Services as a Child Protective Specialist (CPS) and their hours were demanding. I worked there until 2022. I have not worked with any children since 2022, but am now a State employee and I have over 11 years experience in the field. I am looking to pick up some part time hours, or 1 family I can work with consistently.

“I highly recommend Ammar as a caregiver & babysitter for children of any age! Ammar cared for our two children (a boy and a girl) over the course of several years and through various stages of their interests and development (ages 4-10). He was extremely reliable, but more importantly, truly cared for their needs, developing a strong rapport with both of them and took a real interest in whatever they were into (art, music, pop culture, reading, etc). Not only did our kids look forward to seeing Ammar regularly, but as parents, we felt completely comfortable leaving them in his hands, whether for an after-school pick-up until we got home, or an extended night out. Whatever the situation, he was responsible, smart, and communicative, detailing the day’s events. He not only handled the basics (homework, meal-prep, playtime) but was conscientious and always looking for new ways to engage or entertain our kids. We love Ammar and, even to this day, consider him family and a part of our lives.”

Emma $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m offering services for part-time baby-sitting or after school assistance. I began baby-sitting and nannying at 14 and have also enjoyed working with kids in educational capacities: tennis coach, summer camp instructor and youth theater programs. I have experience doing school pick up and drop off, homework help, light housework and cooking. I am happy to help around the house as needed and to cook as much as possible. At 27, I currently work part-time in the nonprofit arts and have a flexible schedule. I’m deeply passionate about art, education, communication and community. And I’m great with crafts!
