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.

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. I am available Monday through Friday, with flexibility for weekends, and can travel to Manhattan and Queens. I provide hands-on, individualized care, creating a loving, structured, and engaging environment for children while giving parents peace of mind that every need—childcare and household—is thoughtfully managed. I would love to bring my experience, energy, and dedication to your family. I am happy to provide recent outstanding references. You can reach me directly at 📞 917-272-8620.

Hello there! My name is Aly, I'm 28 and originally from Chile :) My mom used to have her own Preeschool, which was very focused on the social, intellectual and artistic development of children which was a very interesting and rich environment to be raised in.

I've just finished being the nanny of a lovely 2 yo and currently looking for a ROTA nanny position but I'm also open to be a ocasional and/or weekend babysitter ( I have plenty of nanny/babysitter experience, feel free to reach out :) I'd be happy to help! I also adore animals and have plenty of experience as a pet sitter too. Other facts about me: I speak Spanish and english fluently and have worked as a medical interpreter My Portuguese and french are intermediate( Working towards full fluency, really love languages!

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.

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.

Cat H.
- 7 years paid experience

Hi, I'm Cat! With over six years of nanny experience in Chicago, I'm eager to find my next family to support. I'd like to support a family for the summer or in a more full-time capacity - targeting 25-45 hours/week. I can guarantee one year and am open to extending my time with the family if we find it's a good fit. I've supported families as a full-time, part-time, or on-call nanny and have built lasting relationships with each. My reviews on Sitter City are sparse as I worked via family referral in Chicago and I'd be happy to provide references upon request. The bulk of my experience is in caring for children ages 18 months to 14 years and I've cared for 2-3 siblings at a time. Additionally, I have experience caring for children with autism and Down syndrome. I'm a patient, lighthearted, and organized caregiver. Having grown up on a farm, I'm a big fan of the outdoors and encouraging free play both in and outside. I follow the child's lead. If they want to sit and play with the grass without talking, I'll follow. If they want to play a complex game of pretend with multiple moving pieces, I'll play whatever role necessary. If they're ready to start a game of soccer, I'll jump in. I value following their interests or needs for that day and am happy to design activities based on their curiosities. I'm nurturing and calm and aim to create environments that foster children's growth. I'm not there to babysit, but to listen to them, care for them, and help them learn. I don't like being on my phone in general, and am not on my phone around kids. I'd love to hop on a quick call to see if I am a good match for your family. I have received First Aid and CPR training in the past, and am happy to renew my certifications before joining a family. Thanks!

Hello! I am a retired Paraprofessional/ Teacher Assistant with 20 years of experience working for the NYC Board of Education.

I possess extensive experience in feeding and supervising their naps. The two-year-old stage is a critical period, during which they acquire communication skills and assimilate new knowledge. Additionally, I am comfortable with pets and can help with walking them if required.

Hello, my name is Lisa! I have worked as a career nanny in NYC for nearly 10 years and have been babysitting for over 20. My academic background is in Ancient Greek and Roman history and language, and some of my personal passions are drawing, film, travel, gallery exhibits, and live music. I am currently available for daytime or weeknight babysitting jobs with school-aged children, including days that there is no school due to conferences, holidays, etc. I am also available to provide backup care in the event that your typical childcare is unavailable. I am seasoned and confident navigating the city with a child, whether by subway, walking, or taxi, and would be a valuable asset to you for school pick-ups, shuttling to classes and appointments, or just safely transporting them home to do homework and have fun. I am skilled at implementing existing routines as well as developing new. I am sharp, energetic, motivated, friendly, and affectionate. I enjoy spending time with kids going for walks and adventures, hanging out at the playground, reading books, doing art projects, working puzzles, and playing games. I am always up for a dance party or imaginative play. I genuinely have a blast with kids, learning about their interests and hearing their anecdotes. I am happy to help with homework if needed and am a capable cook with the right supplies and clear expectations. I am a team player and follow instruction well. I have wonderful references and a formal resume, and I hope that you will consider me for your family’s new sitter! Please note: I am currently not offering toddler care due to a disc injury.
