Find experienced babysitters in East Rockaway, NY

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.

I love being a sitter because working with kids brings me so much joy. I’ve spent the last four years as a paraprofessional in schools, supporting children from pre-K through middle school. Along the way, I’ve developed patience, creativity, and strong communication skills while working closely with kids, parents, and teachers. I’m also EMT- and CPR-certified, so safety is always a top priority. Currently, I’m in nursing school, pursuing my dream of becoming a pediatric nurse. Babysitting allows me to continue doing what I love caring for children and helping them feel safe, supported, and happy.

Hi! My name is Elena, I am a School Psychologist I have worked in the elementary and preschool setting. After finishing grad school I began working in Early Intervention providing ABA therapy and special instruction to babies up to age 3. I have a passion for working with infants and toddlers my professional experience has afforded me the skills to help children grow, develop, and learn. I have an Early childhood specialization as well as bilingual Spanish specialization. I have spent a number of years babysitting through out college. Currently I am taking time off from my career as a new mom and provide care in my home only. I have worked with several families creating meaningful relationships. I have also worked in various childcare settings- a daycare for children 2-6 years old, a Gifted and Talented test prep program, summer camp for elementary school students and as an after-school teacher for 1st through 4th grade.

First, let me tell you a little about myself, I'm currently in college majoring in Hospitality Management. I love kids and have babysat kids around my neighborhood but not as a paid job. I have a balance between safety and fun that will cater to the needs of the parents as well as the child. I was certified in First Aid CPR from the American Red Cross. Plus, I'm a great cook as I am studying it in college as well as being knowledgeable about the safety of food and food allergies. I also love animals, I actually thought of being a vet because of my love for them. I currently have two cats and two fishes. And plan to have more pets in the future. I love being able to be a good older role model to children as they mature by showing children that it is okay to have fun as long as you are being safe. I can be assertive in this manner while allowing them to fight boredom in playing games, watching television, making cookies; of course all after their homework is complete. So, I am eager to tend to all your babysitting needs.

Hello! My name is Razia, and I’m a proud native New Yorker with over 10 years of professional childcare experience. I am CPR & First Aid certified, college educated, and have cared for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. Families consistently describe me as patient, caring, energetic, fun-loving, and trustworthy. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can thrive while making daily routines easier and stress-free for parents. Currently, I work with a wonderful family in Forest Hills, caring for two children (ages 12 and 6) and managing their household from start to finish. I oversee morning routines, school preparation, homework, meals, baths, bedtime, pet care for a cat and dog, errands, and overall household organization. I take pride in keeping the home running smoothly while providing consistent guidance, attention, and encouragement to the children. Infant & Newborn Care: I am experienced in preparing formulas, sterilizing bottles, maintaining feeding and sleep schedules, diapering, infant laundry, baths, and baby-proofing the home. I focus on early learning activities, maintaining a clean and safe environment, and supporting healthy growth and routines while providing attentive, loving care. Toddler Care: I assist with meals, snacks, potty training, baths, tidying toys, and creative play. I organize educational outings to libraries, museums, bookstores, playgrounds, and play centers, as well as age-appropriate classes and playdates to support social skills, independence, and curiosity. School-Age Care: I manage school pickups and drop-offs, transportation to after-school activities, homework guidance, snack and meal prep, outdoor play, and trips to parks, zoos, and museums. I help children develop responsibility, self-confidence, and healthy routines while balancing structure with fun and enrichment.

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.

Hi! I am looking to get back into babysitting to help support myself through Physician Assistant School at Hofstra University. While studying Molecular Biology at Colgate University for undergrad, I also led a club offering after school care/activities for 4th and 5th graders at the local school. After graduating in 2022, I began working as a medical assistant at pediatric office, where I gained experience treating children for the last year. My favorite part of my job was interacting with kids of all ages, so I am really excited about getting back into baby sitting! Making the kids comfortable in the office and helping them feel better has been so rewarding, so I am looking forward to giving the same care to your children. In my free time I love being with my family and friends, going to the beach, and exercising. Please reach out if you’d like to know more about me, I would love to chat!
