Hello! My name is Sarah, and I’m a 23-year-old college graduate living in Astoria, currently available for occasional babysitting. I am fully vaccinated, and I currently work part-time for an arts organization helping NYC children get better access to arts education. I've been working with children ages 1-13 for ten years, both as a babysitter and a tutor. In particular, I’ve spent a lot of time caring for and tutoring children with autism and ADD/ADHD. I love to follow along with what kids want to do, but I’m also comfortable finding ways to engage them if they seem stuck, like drawing or playing instead of watching videos! Additionally, I’m more than happy to help out with homework, cooking, cleaning, and pet care (I grew up in a house filled with cats and dogs!). I am based in Astoria and am able to travel to Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx by Read more train or car. I’m also more than happy to provide you with references! Looking forward to helping your family!

Sarah saved us when we needed last minute coverage and we couldn't have gotten luckier! Easygoing, flexible, and professional, while also playful and engaging with my 3 year old, Sarah has been a huge help to our family.

Sarah is a wonderful and engaging sitter. She worked with my 6yo son when he was remote learning and was very patient and nurturing. She is also very responsible and responsive. I highly recommend her!
