Liam $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Liam. I'm a 23-year-old student at Columbia University, seeking to offer babysitting services to families. I’m a born and raised New Yorker and love exploring the city in my free time! I love babysitting, and thoroughly enjoy and am very comfortable interacting with children. I can assist in meal-preparation, transportation to and from school and various activities, assistance with homework, and general activities, as well as performing household chores or running errands. I am available early mornings and evenings, and am open to working late hours with room to be flexible. I’m very comfortable with pets! I love dogs and am comfortable working in an animal-friendly environment. I look forward to working with your family!

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.

Eliza $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Eliza and I am currently earning my masters in social work at Columbia University. I graduated from Northeastern with a bachelors in psychology and human services in 2021 and have nearly a decade of babysitting experience. I am energetic, warm, and organized. From homework help, to pick ups and drop offs, to games and art projects, I am up for all the things! I have experience with multiple children at once (up to 8), infants, and children with physical and intellectual disabilities. I can provide references upon request!

Giada $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Giada, and I’m currently a sophomore at CUNY Hunter College studying Social Work. I’m planning to apply to the BSW program, and I’m especially interested in working in mental health and helping others. I’ve always loved babysitting, mostly because I had a babysitter growing up who I really loved and looked forward to spending time with. I’ve been working with children since I was around 14 and have experience caring for toddlers and older children. I’ve also volunteered and worked at a summer camp for young children, which gave me even more experience spending time with and caring for kids. I would describe myself as patient, responsible, and caring. I love being outside with kids when the weather is nice and getting involved in whatever activities they enjoy. I’m also comfortable helping with homework, cooking, and keeping children entertained. Outside of school and babysitting, I enjoy listening to music, reading, and spending time with my friends.
