Wendy R., Babysitter in East Rockaway, NY 11518 with 14 years of paid experience

Hi! I've been a nanny and babysitter for over 14 years, caring for children from just a few weeks old up to age 12. What started as helping out a co-worker occasionally has grown into something I've done alongside my professional life for over a decade-and I genuinely love it. Most recently, I spent 7 years with one Brooklyn family, caring for their son from age 5 through 12. I've also worked with babies, toddlers, and sibling combos, including kids with autism and mood-related challenges. I'm confident juggling different needs, ages, and personalities-whether that's helping a toddler through potty training or guiding a 10-year-old through homework frustration. I'm comfortable with: -Infants, toddlers, and older children (including multiples) -Special needs (including mild autism and mood disorders) -Doctor visits -Daytime outings, pickups/drop-offs -Cooking, light cleaning, bedtime, bath time, homework help -Pet-friendly homes (I love animals!) I freelance & work remotely in sales and marketing, which gives me a flexible schedule. Whether you need regular care or backup support, my goal is to make your life easier and help your child feel safe, supported, and seen.

Lauren P., Babysitter in East Rockaway, NY 11518 with 18 years of paid experience

Its been a long pandemic, I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I am your weekend backup to help you reset after a long week of being a superhero aka parent. I began working with children at the age of 15. I was a Counselor in Training at a sleep away camp. The following two years I worked as a Camp Counselor at the same camp. I began babysitting at the age of 18. I have worked with multiple families with multiple children. I currently work at a Dance Studio as the manager and instructor. The Dance Studio mostly caters to children between the ages of 2 through 14. I am currently certified in First Aid/CPR/AED for both Adult and Pediatric. My experience makes me qualified but my personality is why I have such a great relationship with the kids. Babysitting has always been fun for me. Children are true little sponges that soak up everything. The things they say or do always manage to make my day brighter. Being younger allows me to truly enjoy my time with families. I love to go outside with kids play a little soccer, baseball, or basketball. Kids always love that I can teach them some dance moves. Although usually most kids just prefer me to read to them. I try to give every character in a book their own voice. I haven't had a bad experience sitting. The occasional meltdown is expected and I'm prepared to handle whatever is thrown mine way. References, a resume and a professional background check are available upon request.

Kiara P., Babysitter in East Rockaway, NY 11518 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi, my name is Kiara but I go by Kiwi! I'm a native New Yorker from Brooklyn and I have over 4 years of childcare experience. I worked at a daycare in Queens (Future Sunshine Daycare) part-time, and went full-time after about 6 months as the owner is also a foster mother and needed help with her 3 foster children. I started living-in 4 days a week for about a year while still working for the daycare, thus caring for 8 kids (2 infants aged 4-6 months, 1 toddler aged 3 and 5 older children aged 6-9) along with 2 other alternating workers. I worked there for 2 years alternating between part-time and full-time after the foster children moved on. This passing summer I worked as a camp counselor at a summer camp in Plymouth, Vermont. I worked there throughout the whole summer as a camp counselor monitoring kids ages 4-11. Since then I've been babysitting for different families and providing occasional coverage for workers at the daycare. I am CPR and AED certified for both adults and children, my red cross certification ID is 10VNC1Q.

Hi parents! I’m a caring, patient and easygoing babysitter who enjoys reading books to children, singing children songs to them, and taking them outdoors for a daily walk or play time at the park. I’m great at making sure they’re safe and cared for, and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. :)

Natoy S., Babysitter in East Rockaway, NY 11518 with 5 years of paid experience

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy caring for children and supporting families. Watching children grow, learn, and feel safe brings me a lot of joy. I take pride in creating a calm, loving environment where children feel seen, nurtured, and encouraged. Being trusted with someone’s child is an honor, and I don’t take that lightly. What experience do you have? I have hands-on experience caring for infants and young children, including newborns. I’ve worked closely with families to support daily routines such as feeding, diapering, sleep schedules, and developmental play. My background includes caring for children in both private family settings and professional care environments, allowing me to adapt easily to each family’s unique needs. What skills and training do you have? I am a certified Newborn Care Specialist and also hold HHA and CNA certifications. I am trained in infant care, safe sleep practices, hygiene, and recognizing developmental milestones. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and calm under pressure. I communicate well with parents and always prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in care.

Diana F., Babysitter in East Rockaway, NY 11518 with 9 years of paid experience

I am a loving and dependable nanny with 9 years of experience caring for children from as young as 3 months old up to 8 years old. I bring patience, energy, and playfulness to every day, and I treat the children I care for as if they were my own. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish (speaking, reading, and writing) and I enjoy creating fun, engaging activities that support learning and development. From helping little ones reach important milestones to encouraging independence as they grow, nothing makes me happier than seeing children thrive. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping to keep things running smoothly at home. While I do not drive, I am reliable, punctual, and fully dedicated to the families I work with. My biggest motivation as a nanny is watching children grow into their best selves—seeing them smile, learn, and achieve new milestones is the most rewarding part of this work. I have experience as a Full-Time, Part-Time and Occasional nanny. References available upon request.
