Booked by 3 families in Ridgefield, NJ

Hi! My name is Gracie, and I’m a current law student at Harvard University and a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin–Madison. This summer I have an internship in the city and lots of free time compared to the school year! I have over nine years of babysitting experience, plus a lifetime of practice as the oldest sibling (my little sister is ten years younger than me!). I’ve truly grown up around children and care for every child as if they were my own younger sister. I love playing dress-up, building fairy houses, kicking a soccer ball around, reading stories, and spending time at the park. I’d love to meet your family and look forward to connecting!

Great communicator, reliable, and punctual! All you could want from a sitter.

Katelin $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kate, and I’m a certified educator with a strong background in Montessori education, early childhood and elementary education, special education, general education, and family support. I hold dual certification in Early Childhood Education and Childhood Education, with training and experience supporting children across both general and special education settings. My background includes working in Montessori school environments, supporting student programming, partnering closely with families, and serving as a trusted point of communication between parents, children, teachers, and school leadership. What makes me stand out is the combination of warmth, structure, and professionalism I bring into a home. I understand child development, routines, emotional regulation, independence-building, and the importance of meeting each child where they are. I’m calm, patient, highly organized, and intentional about creating an environment where children feel safe, respected, and engaged. I also love language learning and cultural curiosity. I have studied Spanish, Italian, Chinese, and music, and I enjoy incorporating songs, conversation, reading, creative play, and age-appropriate learning into my time with children when families are interested. Professionally, I’ve worked closely with busy families, school communities, and executive leadership, so I understand the importance of trust, discretion, reliability, and clear communication. I’m especially comfortable with school-aged children and can support homework, reading, routines, creative activities, after-school transitions, bedtime, snacks/meals, and child-related tidying. I’m available for flexible evening and weekend babysitting, including date nights, occasional care, homework support, and family coverage. My goal is to provide care that feels warm, thoughtful, and dependable — so parents can feel fully at ease and children can feel genuinely cared for.

Susanna $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I have been babysitting for about 9 years now and have experience with kids of many ages. I am currently a college student and have recently worked as a swim instructor, so I’m very comfortable caring for children in a way that is safe, fun, and engaging. I can help with homework, prepare meals, and keep kids entertained with games and activities. I’m responsible, patient, and reliable and I always try my absolute best to create a positive environment for both kids and parents.

Daija $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Daija and I am a graduate, holding my degree in public health education and promotion. I love going to museums, and experiencing new things. I have previously worked at two preschools as an assistant teacher. I changed diapers, provided meals, played with the kids, and cleaned up after them. I am offering childcare services. I have been working with kids in the school system as well as babysitting, between the ages of two and middle school ages for eight years now. I also am able to work with pets; I have two cats and a dog of my own.

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Ridgefield, NJ

Hi! I'm Molly and I'm an actress and writer based in Brooklyn! I'm really passionate about working with kids; at 19, I co-founded a theatre camp for kids aged 9-14, in college I took a full-year course in teaching artistry, and this summer I've been working at a theatre camp for kids aged 3-6. I love making crafts, going to the park, and reading (some favorites include Frog and Toad and Anne of Green Gables). I can't wait to meet your family!

Molly was an absolute lifesaver today! We reached out on very short notice to find childcare so my wife and I could celebrate her birthday with a run around Central Park, and Molly stepped in without hesitation. From the start, she was a complete pleasure to deal with—responsive, kind, and professional. She arrived right on time (actually early, to be exact) and stayed for the entire duration we needed. Most importantly, she was incredibly fun and engaging with our children; they had a wonderful time with her, which gave us total peace of mind while we were out. As a true New York expert, she knows the city inside and out. We could not recommend Molly more highly to any family in need of a dependable, warm, and fantastic babysitter in NYC. We would hire her again in a heartbeat!
