Tracy-Lee $20 per hour for 1 child
I have been in education for over 10 plus years and currently work at a middle school in Brooklyn. I also manage the after-school program, hence my availability only on weekends and holidays. CPR certified every 2 years, as this is a requirement of Department of Education. Parents, nothing surprises or scares me. I am not afraid of vomit or diarrhea nor a bug if your little one brings me one as a gift. Just dropped my baby off at college, so you can say I am looking for another baby to love and care for.

Booked by 2 families in Whitestone, NY
Hi! I moved to New York in February from NC. I have 10 years of childcare experience, ranging from being a camp counselor to being a full time nanny for the past 7 years. I have experience working with infants, toddlers, and elementary school aged children. I enjoy engaging children in developmentally appropriate play, reading books, and taking trips to local parks, libraries, museums, and classes. I am happy to provide you with a list of references upon request. Looking forward to meeting you!
“If you are searching for the absolute best childcare provider in the city, Emma is the one you are looking for. She is a true expert on all things New York and a consummate professional. Let me set the scene for you. It was Erin’s birthday, and I was in the middle of pulling off a massive surprise to celebrate her special day. However, as any parent knows, even the most carefully orchestrated plans can completely unravel in an instant. I desperately needed to finalize the last few critical details of the birthday surprise, and I simply could not do it without immediate, reliable childcare assistance. I sent out a last-minute serving request for help, feeling completely panicked about the situation. Enter Emma. When I say she dropped everything to help our family, I mean it quite literally. She responded instantly to our urgent plea and sprinted to our location to bail me out. She did not just arrive on time; she made it to us even earlier than expected! From the moment she walked through the door, she brought a wave of calm, capable energy that immediately put my stressed mind at ease. I knew right away that my family was in the best possible hands, and I was finally able to step away to perfectly execute the surprise for Erin without a single worry. But Emma did not just sit back and passively watch the children; she actively engaged them and turned an ordinary afternoon into an unforgettable adventure. She took Madison and Michael out into the city, giving them a personalized, expertly guided tour of mid-town Manhattan. Because Emma is a true New York aficionado, she didn't just walk them around the nearest block. She showed them the absolute magic of the city through the eyes of a local expert, navigating the bustling streets with ease and keeping them thoroughly entertained, safe, and incredibly happy the entire time. When I finally reunited with them later that evening, the kids were absolutely glowing with excitement. They could not stop talking about how much fun they had exploring mid-town with her. They explicitly declared that Emma instantly became the best babysitter they have ever had. Their words, not mine! To win over Madison and Michael that quickly and completely is a true testament to Emma's incredible warmth, boundless creativity, and genuine skill with children. We are so immensely grateful for her dedication and her incredibly swift response when we needed her most. She genuinely saved the day! Hire her and you ent regret it!”

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!

Hi everyone! My name is Maren, I am a recent graduate from the Rhode Island School of Design where I received my MFA in illustration. Now I’ve relocated to Brooklyn with my fiance, and am starting a new chapter of life! I love kids, I taught dance to 15 elementary students for four years in high school, have two rambunctious cousins (7,11) at home who I take care of when I see them and grew up sitting from the age of 12. I love to bring activities, play, and just hear the crazy things kids say. I am a fantastic cook and quite the voice actor when it comes to picture books. Can’t wait to meet you!
