Find experienced babysitters in Garden City Park, 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.

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 think this experience helps me now as an adult to understand the type of stimuli that children need to be happy, cared for and thriving. 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! I have a health coach certification, really passionate about nutrition and building healthy habits. I'm a dancer and would love to eventually teach. I have lived in Santiago, Paris, San Francisco and now New York!

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, 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.

Hello, my name is Keyla Minaya. I am proud of my Dominican heritage and fluent in both English and Spanish, which helps me connect with families from diverse backgrounds. Caring for children is not just what I do, it’s who I am. With over 10 years of experience, I’ve cared for kids of all ages, from newborns to teens.

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.

Hi, I’m Adama! I’m a full-time finance student and CPR & First Aid certified, currently seeking part-time or occasional babysitting (evenings, weekends, date nights, or short shifts). I have 3–4 years of childcare experience, including caring for children in both home and program settings. I previously worked as a youth mentor with So Shell Butterflies (HANAC) and provided care for a family with three children ages 3–12. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive, and I enjoy keeping children engaged through play, homework help, and outdoor activities. I adapt easily to each family’s routines and prioritize creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I’m best suited for families looking for a responsible, dependable sitter rather than full-time childcare. I look forward to supporting families who need flexible, quality care.

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. :)
