Hello my name is bailee, i am from Georgia but currently studying in NYC for marketing. I have at least 7 years of childcare experience with children from the age 0-6.
Fun sitter for busy little ones with busier parents!
Hi! My name is Quinn, and I have several years of babysitting experience. I also worked as a gymnastics coach for two years, coaching kids in a wide range, so I love keeping kids active, engaged, and having fun. I enjoy doing crafts, reading, cooking, outdoor play, and coming up with creative activities. I’m patient, responsible, and always focused on creating a safe environment. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!
The older sister who knows how to have fun (and how to get them to listen lol)
I absolutely adore working with children! I love that I can still tap into my own inner child while spending time with them. Kids are so incredibly cute and full of wonder. As the older sister of two, I've always been cautious and observant, ensuring their safety and well-being. I find their unique personalities and outspoken nature incredibly entertaining – they truly have been the funniest people I know!

I'm a Sunday School teacher, so I've got a good handle on the occasional chaos that comes with kids. I am also an older sister, who is responsible & observant. But honestly, I mostly just love the energy and the chance to learn from their unique perspectives. I'm patient, playful, and ready for some fun adventures!

Hey, I’m a junior at Vanderbilt University working an internship this summer at the US Attorney's office. I have gone through extensive background checks and have grown up helping out with my younger sister, who is 9 years younger than me. I love being around kids and I would be happy to help at anytime! Additionally I grew up with pets and have spent extensive time with dogs. Ready to start whenever!
I was born in Park Slope, but grew up in a small town on Long Island until college, where I moved back to NYC. Pursued a dual degree, my attitude was to cram in as much learning as I could while I was in school. Since graduating in 2024, I've had different service jobs but find it hard to balance my need to create in spite of that. I know working with kids in the past has filled my cup, so I look forward to creating these connections again!
My childcare experience spans across coaching sports, volunteering at the library for childcare programs, as well as in home babysitting for neighbors & family friends. When I was younger, I played softball and volleyball for many years. In which I garnered experience coaching, and began coaching teams of (elementary to middle school) girls for volleyball, as well as 1on1 sessions for softball. In high school, I would volunteer at an afterschool daycare programs at my local library, and read books, as well as lead crafts to groups of children varying from ages 2-10. In my adulthood, I have in-house babysat multiple times, typically in the evening, for kids as young as 3-8.

I started babysitting at fifteen as a mothers' helper and have worked with a myriad of children since.
I worked as a specialized camp counselor last two summer and provided care to children with special needs. This job required a lot of patience and was very rewarding work!
Heyy Parents, my name is Khadijatou Baragi and I am 20 years old. I started my babysitting journey in 2021, caring for kids of all ages both in the Bronx and in The Gambia. Over the years, I’ve loved creating a safe, fun, and supportive space where children can learn and grow. From helping with homework and planning creative activities to making meals and keeping up with daily routines, I enjoy being there to make life a little easier for families. This experience has taught me so much about patience, communication, and the joy of seeing kids thrive.
