Booked by 1 family in Ridgewood, NY

Hi there! I'm Tessa. I grew up in the Bay Area after moving from New York City with my family. I went to college in Arizona and now work as a creative product photographer, which has allowed me to travel all over the world and gather some amazing experiences. When I'm back in New York, I love spending my time babysitting and providing caretaking services. I’m CPR certified and have experience caring for kids of all ages, from newborns to school-aged children, including twins and kids with special needs. I’m also knowledgeable in handling allergies and know how to use an EpiPen. I enjoy cooking meals, doing arts and crafts, tutoring, taking kids to and from school, and planning fun outdoor activities. Being active and creative, I love making each day exciting and safe for the kids I look after. Besides child care, I also offer pet care and non-health related senior care. I’ve been a caretaker for my grandparents and other seniors, helping with daily activities, cleaning their homes, cooking, driving to appointments, and running errands. I'm an animal lover and have experience with all kinds of pets—dogs, cats, chickens, and hamsters. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I'm available for last-minute babysitting and can adapt to irregular hours. Feel free to reach out! I’d love to chat about how I can support your family.

Booked by 19 families in Ridgewood, NY

Hi families, it’s nice to meet you! My name is Tamyia. I’m currently finishing my last semester for my in Human Services degree. I have 6 years of experience caring for kids of all ages and doing different routine routines for families. One of my favorite parts about babysitting is the relationships I get to build with both the children and their families. I really enjoy being someone families can rely on and helping out wherever I’m needed. I would describe myself as patient, creative, and easy to get along with. I love keeping kids engaged with outdoor activities, board games, and fun educational games. I always try to create a safe and positive environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I’m currently looking for a part-time position, and I’m also interested in transitioning into a full-time role over the summer where I can build a stronger, long-term connection with a family.

“Tamiya is responsible, kind, and my kids love hanging out with her. I would definitely recommend her to a friend. She is also great with pets ”

"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."
