Booked by 2 families in Ridgewood, NY

Hi my name is Marisol G. Ii was currently working for a family of two wonderful children a 9 year old girl and 10 year old boy. I worked for the Gomaz family since the youngest was one year old I have taken care of them as if they where my own. I'm a mother of five wonderful children 19 - 28 I'm very out going playful and fun. I also taught Montessori teaching to 5 - 7 year old children. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have 20 years experience and references from families I have worked for. Thank you for considering an interview.

“Marisol cared for my two children for approximately a decade. She cared for them as if they were her own children- giving them love, support, structure, entertainment, and education as appropriate. Early on working 12+ hours a day and as the kids got older closer working less. She was always flexible throughout the years as my children’s needs changed. From caring for infants to supporting the development of pre-teens she was like family. Anyone would be lucky to have Marisol care for your children. She has also raised 5 of the most amazing children which is a testament to her parenting skills.”

Amani $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Amani, and I’m a caring, patient, and dependable caregiver with several years of experience working with children and families. I have experience caring for children ages 3–17, including children with autism, as well as caring for elderly individuals. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident when leaving their children in someone else’s care. I always strive to create a safe, positive, and comfortable environment while making sure children feel heard, supported, and cared for. I enjoy doing age-appropriate activities with children such as arts and crafts, reading, playing games, going for walks, and simply spending quality time together. I’m also comfortable helping with routines, meals, keeping children entertained, and making sure they are safe and comfortable throughout the day. I currently work part-time with a family that I have been with for about two years, and I’m happy to provide a reference from them. I’m reliable, flexible, patient, and genuinely enjoy working with children. Outside of caregiving, I enjoy cooking, listening to music, going for walks, attending Bible studies, and trying new activities. I look forward to getting to know your family and providing your child with the same patience, care, and attention I would want for my own family.

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
