Lauren P., Babysitter in North Valley Stream, NY 11580 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.

Lina maria R., Babysitter in North Valley Stream, NY 11580 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Lina and I am currently seeking a childcare position (30 hours/week, Monday–Wednesday full days) starting September 2026. Before coming to the United States, I gained experience caring for babies and children in Colombia. Since then, for two years, I was an Au Pair with an amazing family, taking care of their two girls (ages 2 and 6). I also spent a year caring for a 4-year-old girl, and most recently, I cared for a baby girl from the time she was 4 months old until she turned 1. I’m now looking for a new position because she is transitioning to daycare. As a full-time caregiver, I have handled everything related to the children in my care, including: following sleep schedules, nap and bedtimes, changing diapers and potty training, bottle and meal preparation, bathtime, and taking them to classes and scheduling playdates with other nannies. I have hands-on experience caring for infants and babies, and I truly love watching them grow, it’s one of the most rewarding parts of this work for me. I have additional experience working with various families as a babysitter, from infants to school-age kids. I am a patient, responsible, and trustworthy person who enjoys working with children, learning about them, and helping them grow. I pride myself on being committed to my work. I am reliable and dedicated to creating a nurturing, safe, and loving environment for the children I care for. I am also CPR certified and happy to provide references upon request. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to the opportunity to work with a new family starting in September!

Lina has been with living with us as our auPair for the past two years, and I can say she is nothing short of exceptional! She is loving, caring, patient, responsible, and trustworthy. She truly enjoys working with children, to learn about them and help them grow. She has extensive childcare experience with babies, toddlers and children. She is a wonderful caregiver, during her time looking after our 2 girls, she adapted her role and responsibilities as they grew: she managed sleep schedules, nap and bedtimes, changed diapers and potty trained. She was in charge of bottle and meal preparation, meal schedules, bathtime, taking them to classes and scheduling playdates with other nannies, etc. Lina is also great at cooking, and always prepared nutritious and balanced meals for our kids. Lina is committed, very punctual, reliable, great with feedback and CPR certified. We are heartbroken to see her go, but we know her next family will be lucky to have her!

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!

Wendy R., Babysitter in North Valley Stream, NY 11580 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.

Harrison T., Babysitter in North Valley Stream, NY 11580 with 10 years of paid experience

**ACTIVELY SEEKING GIGS - SUMMER 2026** HEY! I'm Harrison. I’m actively looking for all sorts of work over the summer and beyond— open to regular, intermittent, and anywhere in between. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I’m up for logistic-satisfying hangs, orchestrating grand adventures, date night coverage, and more. If you think I may be a good fit for your family, would love to connect! A little about me— I moved to Brooklyn ~4 years ago to manage a giant rock climbing gym. I've worked with kids a ton in climbing gyms over the last 10 years, from running summer camps to making birthday parties awesome. After leaving my role last year, I transitioned to sitting/nannying in an attempt to reclaim joy in my work life-- and it's been a blast so far. I like climbing, games (video, board, word, active, other), telling riddles + jokes (ask me about street sweepers!) building things, cooking, soccer, swimming, and riding my bike excessive distances. I went to school for film, and I used to be a producer on a PBS show-- I still love filming/editing fun videos with the kids I sit for (*movie magic*)! I'm CPR / first aid certified and generally skilled at balancing fun and safety in childcare settings. I'm a skilled driver, though I do not currently own a car. Beyond just sitting, I'm happy to support with: -homework help! I used to student teach / tutor English back in high school, and I am generally math-proficient. -meal prep! I chef 95% of my apartmenthold's meals right now, and I love to cook. -climbing! Wanna learn the ropes or just give it a try? I'm your guy. -pet care! I live with 3 cats (1 mine, 2 my girlfriend’s) and I care for dogs of friends & clients regularly. Hope to hear from you!

We hired Rabia after my wife broke her elbow and was unable to lift the baby. Naturally, my wife was nervous about staying involved in baby care. Rabia ensured the baby's needs were met while helping my wife stay included and connected. Because we both work from home, we spent a lot of time with Rabia and got to know her: we found her to be pleasant, professional, and kind. She was the peaceful presence we were looking for in a nanny. Our baby was lucky to have such a devoted and knowledgeable caregiver. Rabia was reliable, gentle, and calm. It was easy to communicate with her. She showed up on time every day full of energy and good cheer. We felt very comfortable leaving our baby in her care. When she was with our 6mo old, she actively played with him on the playmat. She put him into tummy time, helped him practice sitting up, and worked on other motor skills. She proactively thought about the baby's development and future well-being. Her experience and ease with children were obvious. We would be happy to hire her again.

Laylah was a phenomenal find for us, a true NYC Mary Poppins experience. Kind, flexible, incredibly trustworthy with a generous spirit, she took our son on an adventure (“best day ever”) while we cared for a loved one at a local hospital with a child-free policy. We were in a bind and she more than saved the day, she made his day. SO happy to have found her and would enthusiastically recommend.

Djane worked full time for us watching our 1 year old son. She was very caring and listened to what our family needed and integrated into his routine smoothly. She took him out, made playdates, and kept our house organized by putting things away and cleaning up during naptime. I'd highly recommend her.
