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.

Lauren helped us out babysitting last minute when we were visiting NYC and was AMAZING! She was easy to communicate with, understanding, and most importantly, wonderful with our child. We would hire her again in a heartbeat.

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.

Kiara (aka “Kiwi”) is wonderful! She's been helping with my son's afterschool care and has been incredibly reliable. Our toddler absolutely loves her. She brings creative activities, keeps him engaged, and brings such a positive energy into our home. We’re so grateful to have found her and couldn’t recommend her more highly!

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. Please note: Multiple children and/or combined pet care and other duties influence rate. Minimum & Cancellation Policy:
 • 3 hour shift minimum unless otherwise discussed 
• Cancellations within 24 hours: • Under 7 hour shifts: 3 hours minimum paid • 7–9 hour shifts: 4 hours paid • 9+ hour shifts: 50% of originally scheduled hours paid

Wendy came to babysit our 3 month old twice in a hotel room for dinner. She was great! Fantastic communication, punctual, was able to resettle our baby to sleep (no small feat!) and very trustworthy. We will definitely ask her again next time we visit.

Nicole is an excellent babysitter. She's kind, outgoing, engaged, and professional. My 11 month old daughter loves to play with her. When we needed extra weeknight help, Nicole jumped into our routine seamlessly. She follows directions but doesn't need handholding. She has lots of experience and is very attentive to our child. I feel I can trust her completely. Highly recommend Nicole as a babysitter!

Jheanelle A., Babysitter in East Rockaway, NY 11518 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello everyone , name is Jheanelle, and I’m a 27-year-old single mom to a wonderful 6-year-old daughter. I’m currently a nursing student at BMCC and have only two semesters left before graduating. I’ve always had a passion for caring for children. I started babysitting over 10 years ago by watching my nephews, nieces, and neighborhood kids, and eventually began babysitting for other families in my community. Kids naturally gravitate toward me because I’m patient, energetic, and love creating a fun, safe environment where they feel comfortable and supported. As a nursing student, I bring medical knowledge along with years of hands on childcare experience. I’m experienced caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I’m comfortable with diaper changes, bottle feeding, potty training, bedtime routines, homework help, preparing simple meals and snacks, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and keeping children engaged while limiting screen time when requested. Your child’s safety is my top priority. I am CPR, First Aid, and BLS certified, and I remain calm and attentive in any situation. As a parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your child. I will always care for your little ones with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I give my own daughter. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and become someone your children look forward to seeing while giving you peace of mind whenever you’re away.

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.

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.

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.
