Adriana $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Adriana and I am an elementary school teacher on the Upper East Side. I just finished my 6th year of teaching and I have experience teaching 3rd-5th grade. My experience with working with children ages 4-14 dates back to when I was in high school when I taught dance classes at my dance studio. I also worked as a camp counselor at a 7 week sleep away camp in Maine for three summers during college. I love babysitting and tutoring kids between the ages of 4 and 14.

Booked by 3 families in Ridgewood, NY

Hi! My name is Gracie, and I’m a current law student at Harvard University and a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin–Madison. This summer I have an internship in the city and lots of free time compared to the school year! I have over nine years of babysitting experience, plus a lifetime of practice as the oldest sibling (my little sister is ten years younger than me!). I’ve truly grown up around children and care for every child as if they were my own younger sister. I love playing dress-up, building fairy houses, kicking a soccer ball around, reading stories, and spending time at the park. I’d love to meet your family and look forward to connecting!

“Great communicator, reliable, and punctual! All you could want from a sitter.”

Fei fei $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m a responsible, organized, and dependable professional based in the West Village. I work full-time in corporate operations during the week and am specifically looking for weekend opportunities to help local families with childcare, pet care, and household support. I’ve also been a Wag! dog walker and pet caregiver since 2019, giving me several years of experience caring for pets of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I enjoy working with families because it gives me a chance to step away from my typical workweek, do something more hands-on, and spend my time helping others in a way that feels rewarding. I studied psychology and graphic design, and I especially enjoy creative activities, staying active, and spending time with kids. I’m primarily available Saturdays and Sundays and would love to find a family I can help regularly or occasionally. I’m reliable, communicative, organized, and happy to help make your weekends a little easier.

Victoria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Victoria and I’m a recent college graduate work in banking, but I have always had a passion for working with children. My main goals will always be to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child. Over the years, I’ve gained 2-3 years of experience through babysitting for family and friends, as well as volunteering at local elementary schools as well working at a day care for 2 years. I also am a soccer coach for kids ages 5-8! I’m responsible, patient, and enjoy engaging children in creative activities like arts and crafts, reading, and outdoor play. I also understand the importance of following routines, offering emotional support, and ensuring safety at all times. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and provide a caring and reliable experience for your children or pets! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss how I can be of help!

Lucia $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Lucia, I'm 20 years old, soon to be 21! I'm from Colombia, my first language is Spanish. I went to the French school in Bogota, Colombia, so I can also speak fluent French. I've been working with kids since I was 16. I worked multiple times at a very prestigious summer camp in Colombia. Children were between 6 and 17 years old. I know multiple activities to entertain children and love having fun with them! I love cooking, I'm super nice, I'm calm and patient. I've taken multiple courses about handling stressful/complicated situations with children. I did gymnastics most of my life so I love doing motricity activities! I'm currently doing my bachelor in Fashion Design, so everything that has to do with art and creativity, that's also my game!
