Mama Rokia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Rokia! I am 19 years old and an upcoming junior in college studying Public Health to become a midwife! My previous babysitting roles solidified my desire to positively impact children's lives and to support families in any way I can. I have 5 years of experience caring for children, I offer a patient, creative, and friendly approach to childcare. I care for a wide range of age groups starting from infants to school-age. I am comfortable caring for up to three children and enjoy engaging them with outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities. I am comfortable doing overnights, occasional babysitting for date nights, lending extra hand if you need to get work done, or if you just need some solo time! Feel free to message with any inquiries!

Katrina 2 reviews
$26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Katrina! 😊 I’ve been the go-to babysitter for my family and friends for many years, and I’ve been caring for children ranging from about 5 months to 9 years old since I was a teenager. I’ve always loved being around kids, and honestly, working with them has always just come naturally to me. I’m patient, caring, dependable, and I really enjoy making kids feel comfortable, happy, and understood. I currently work as a Paraprofessional with the NYC Board of Education in Williamsburg, where I work closely with children in special education. I’ve worked one-on-one with children with ADHD, autism, developmental delays, speech disorders, and different sensory and behavioral needs. I’ve also worked with children from Pre-K through 2nd grade, so I’m very comfortable with different ages, personalities, routines, and learning styles. When I babysit, I don’t want kids to feel like they’re just being ā€œwatched.ā€ I love keeping them busy with fun, age-appropriate activities while still giving them structure and following their normal routines. Depending on your child’s age and interests, we might: • šŸŽ¶ Sing songs and play movement games • šŸ“… Practice days of the week, months, letters, numbers, etc. • šŸŽØ Color, do crafts, and other hands-on activities • šŸ”¢ Play counting and early-learning games • šŸ’ƒ Dance, listen to music, and have a little fun • šŸ“š Read stories and have story time • 🧁 Bake or do simple kitchen activities (I’m actually a baking & pastry graduate!) I’m especially comfortable working with children who may need a little extra patience, structure, reassurance, or help communicating their needs. I always try to meet each child where they are and make sure they feel safe, respected, and comfortable with me. ✨ Availability: Pickups, summer days, occasional weekends, school/DOE days off, and other occasional babysitting needs. I currently have availability for Wednesdays through Fridays ! I’d love the chance to get to know your family and hopefully become someone you and your little one feel comfortable having around. šŸ’œ

ā€œKatrina has been an amazing sitter to our two kids (and dog!) for many years. She's so sweet, very reliable, engaging and fun with the kids. She's thoughtful and comes up with fun activities, the kids love her and we consider her family. She is bright, warm and tidy.ā€

Tiffany $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Tiffany and I am an energetic and responsible babysitter who loves spending time with children. I find them a great way to inject energy and bring some fun into my days. I am a lover of arts and crafts as well as books or light outdoor activities. During my time at Barnard College, I babysat for a family for three years with the children's ages ranging from 3-12, so I know the importance of creating a safe and fun environment for the children. Due to my change in availability I was no longer able to continue to work with my previous family, but I would love to help yours in any way. Some of my responsibilities have been dropping off and picking up from school or extracurricular activities to transport home as well as watching them from time to time. I currently work the US District Court for the Southern District of New York and would love to work with any families that need any evening or weekend coverage. I am open to any questions if you would like to get some more information from me. Thank you!

Alanna $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced and energetic nanny and babysitter with several years of caring for children ranging from 6 months to 12 years old. I’ve successfully managed busy households with up to five children and multiple pets, keeping routines organized while creating a warm, fun environment for kids to grow and feel supported. I love engaging children through drawing, singing, and creative play, and I bring a naturally bubbly, positive personality to every family I work with. As a former camp counselor, I’m also experienced in leading groups of children, planning activities, and maintaining a safe, structured environment while making sure kids have a great time.
