Booked by 36 families in Dobbs Ferry, NY

Hi, I’m Tiffany, a native New Yorker with over 10 years of babysitting experience and 8 years working in school settings with children from pre-K through 8th grade. I have a background in early childhood education and human services, and I currently support middle school students in classroom settings, including children with IEPs and diagnoses such as autism, ADHD, and ODD. I also have experience teaching theater to K–8 students, which I use to help children build confidence, creativity, and self-expression in a fun and supportive way. I truly enjoy working with children and focus on creating a calm, safe, and engaging environment where each child feels seen, supported, and comfortable being themselves. I’m available for after-school and weekend care, with additional flexibility beginning in late June

Hi families! My name is Nqobile, I'm 23 years old and originally from South Africa. I'm available throughout the week from 4:30pm and on weekends and would love to support your family during those hours. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, have a valid license and I also have a background in English tutoring. Whether it's helping with homework, engaging in play-based learning, or supporting a nap schedule for little ones, I bring a calm, patient, and joyful energy to every task. I value transparency, patience, responsibility, open communication, and I'm always eager to learn and grow. Childcare isn't just a job to me--it's a passion. I'm also currently preparing to study nursing, with a heart for caregiving in all forms. If you're looking for someone dependable, warm, and deeply committed to helping your children thrive, I'd love to be part of your family's journey!

Sifundo $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sifundo, I’m a 30-year-old caregiver originally from South Africa. I came to the U.S. in 2017 through the Cultural Care Au Pair program and instantly fell in love with caring for children. After my program ended, I attended medical training school and became a certified Medical Assistant and CPR certified. I’ve worked in various healthcare settings including Greenwich Hospital and urgent care clinics as a medical scribe. While I’ve truly enjoyed working in healthcare, I’ve decided to return to what brings me the most joy — working with children. I’m currently preparing to begin a nursing program in Fall 2025, and I’ve chosen to step away from the fast-paced hospital environment to focus on my studies and provide flexible, loving care to families. I’m bubbly, nurturing, and dependable. I have my own car and a clean driving record. I’m very familiar with the Rivertowns area including Dobbs Ferry, Irvington, Tarrytown, and Hastings-on-Hudson, but I’m also open to nearby areas like Scarsdale. Here’s a quick look at my current availability: Monday: After 5 PM Tuesday: After 3:30 PM Wednesday: After 4:45 PM Thursday: After 1 PM Friday: All day Saturday & Sunday: With advance notice (to plan around my studies) My ultimate goal is to become a pediatric nurse — so working with children isn’t just a job, it’s my passion. I look forward to helping your family feel supported, safe, and cared for!

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
