I am a responsible and caring high school student with experience working with children and families. I have cared for and worked with children of different ages, helping create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them. I am also passionate about teaching and enjoy helping kids develop their writing and communication skills. Although I am still in high school, I am extremely responsible, dependable, organized, and mature. I take my responsibilities seriously and always strive to make sure the children and families I work with feel comfortable, supported, and cared for.
Hi! My name is Jade, and I’m 17 years old and going into my senior year of high school. I’m an A/B student who is responsible, patient, and dependable. As the oldest of five siblings, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience caring for infants and young children, as well as babysitting for cousins and family friends. I have experience changing diapers, burping babies, bottle feeding, preparing simple meals, helping with homework, light housekeeping, and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I enjoy spending time with children through games, crafts, reading, and outdoor activities, and I always strive to make both kids and parents feel comfortable and supported.
Hi! I’m a toddler mom looking to get back to working
Hi! I’m Lizbeth R. I’m a mom living in Sunset Park looking to help out a family with childcare.
I grew up the oldest of three, so I’ve been taking care of kids my whole life—from my two little brothers to volunteering at elementary schools back home. I’ve worked a bunch of different retail / hospitality jobs, but once I had my son, Max, I realized I’m at my best when I'm in a nurturing role. I am currently working on getting CPR certified also!
Max is my world, and honestly, we’re a package deal right now since I don’t have family in the city to watch him. He is super social, friendly, and just loves being around other kids, so I’m looking for a situation where I can bring him along as a little playmate. Our days are usually filled with library, beach, park trips, reading, drawing and dancing!
I’m a reliable consistent and very responsible person—I'm available M-F, 8am-8pm, and can do weekends too if you need. I’m based in Sunset Park and don’t mind a commute. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your little one like family, I’d love to connect!

Until mid September, I will be in NYC and would love to babysit your child(ren)! I have been a babysitter for the past 8 years and I have even run my own childcare camp before. I have experience with kids of all ages and accommodations.
I am willing to help in whatever areas you need; cooking, cleaning, changing diapers, putting kids to bed, and more. I am kind, responsible, and have good communication skills. Please reach out if you are interested :)

Hi, I’m Kieara. I’m 18 years old and have a genuine passion for caring for children. I have hands-on experience with infants, including feeding, diaper changes, bottle preparation, soothing, nap routines, and creating a safe, loving environment. I’ve also helped care for NICU babies and supported my cousin through the births of her three children, assisting with newborn care from the very beginning. In addition, I’ve cared for a family member with autism and helped care for my grandmother with dementia, which has strengthened my patience, compassion, and ability to adapt to different needs. I plan to become a nurse, so caring for others is something I truly love. My goal is to make every child feel safe, happy, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind. I’m dependable, attentive, and excited to become someone your family can trust.
