Jala
Hi! My name is Jala, I graduated from Baruch College with a degree in Finance and now working for a bank. I love spending time with animals, find joy in expressing myself through writing, and building new connections with others. I’ve always loved helping take care of kids. As an older sister of five, I’ve had plenty of experience looking after younger children, from keeping them entertained to helping with homework and making sure they’re safe. Creative expression is very important to me, and I enjoy sharing that with kids through fun activities and hands on projects. I’m responsible, patient, and enjoy creating a fun but structured environment where kids feel comfortable. I look forward to supporting families by giving parents peace of mind and making sure their children are happy and cared for.

Arianna
Hii, my name is Arianna! I've been the family babysitter all my life and I started babysitting outside of my home when I was 16. I am now 19, attending John Jay College of Criminal Justice. I love to care for, play games, go outside, and help with homework when kids want/need. If located in New York City, public transportation is my main method of transportation. I hope to meet you soon!

Hi there! My name is Jade and I’m 21 years old. I’m available for part-time and occasional babysitting. I have over 5 years of experience caring for other people’s children, plus 3 years of experience with my own son. I am very hands on, patient, and attentive. My goal is to give parents peace of mind knowing their child is in good hands. As a parent, I understand how hard it can be to find affordable, quality childcare. My availability does vary since I do have another job so the best way to check is to send me a message!

Ann
Hello! My name is Ann, and I’m a caring, patient, and dependable caregiver. I have experience working with children of different ages, including children with special needs, as well as adults. I have worked as a nanny through an agency, where I helped with daily routines, meal preparation, educational activities, playtime, homework, and bedtime routines. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where children feel happy, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I recently decided to work independently so I can build strong, trusting relationships with families and provide personalized care. I would be honored to support your family.
