Find an emergency babysitter in Ridgewood, NY

Hi My name is Maisie, I'm 29 and a culinary school graduate. I hope you can look past my lack of reviews I've yet to book any jobs here, I'd be happy to provide personal references. I have a nephew who's nearly five and a niece who's nearly three. Since becoming an aunt I've spent quite a bit of time providing my sister with the extra help she's needed. Aside from the usual hands on auntie time, I moved in with my sister for the month after my niece was born to help out. Additionally, when she was 9 months old, I spent a week alone with her as I transitioned her from breast feeding to formula. I have experience bathing, feeding, and changing their diapers. I feel comfortable in the kitchen and can help with meals. I'm very health conscious, and can provide nutritious meals. I don't have a car of my own, however, I can drive. I'm also a huge lover of dogs and have some experience with dog sitting/walking. A little fun fact about me, I actually grew up in brooklyn. I was raised to love and appreciate all the beauty and culture this wonderful city has to offer. I'd love to help pass that on to your kids with walks around the city, museum visits, and park days.

Hi – My name is Isatu, and I’m currently studying for the LSATs. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love working with children and have over 8 years of childcare experience, beginning with caring for my younger siblings and neighbors’ children. This early responsibility led me to volunteer at multiple afterschool programs and later work in both daycare and after-school care. I enjoy storytelling, outdoor activities, and creating a positive environment where kids can grow, feel supported, and be themselves. My responsibilities have included crafts, tutoring, outdoor play, supervising routines, and helping children build confidence and independence. I also provide household assistance and can cook, clean, organize, and run errands with care and reliability.

Hi- I’m Michaela. I’m 29. I’ve been working with kids since I was 16, and over the years, I’ve had the chance to work with children and teens ages 3 to 19 in all kinds of settings. I’ve worked as a teacher, in early intervention, in elementary schools, and as a school social worker, including with autistic children. No matter the role, my focus has always been on creating a supportive and engaging environment where kids feel safe, understood, and encouraged to grow. Right now, I’m pursuing my Doctorate in Social Work at LIU because I want to deepen my understanding of child and family well-being. I do this work because I love it—helping kids thrive is incredibly important to me, and I bring patience, experience, and a genuine passion for working with children to everything I do.

Hi! My name is Xarializ, and I’m a warm, patient, and reliable caregiver with a genuine passion for supporting families. I have 1–2 years of hands-on experience working with infants as well as toddlers with special needs and disabilities. Those experiences have taught me to be attentive, nurturing, and adaptable to each child’s unique needs. **Services I Offer** I provide child care, senior companionship, and pet care. My goal is always to make life easier, safer, and more enjoyable for the people (and pets!) I work with. I’ve cared for infants, helping with feeding, soothing, developmental play, and establishing routines. I also have meaningful experience working with toddlers with special needs, where I’ve supported sensory play, communication development, and gentle structure. I enjoy activities like creative play, reading, outdoor walks, and simple crafts. I’m comfortable helping with homework, basic tutoring, meal prep, and providing a calm, structured environment. I also stay informed about safety practices and child-development approaches, and I take pride in being a dependable, supportive presence for little ones. I have experience offering non-medical senior care, including companionship, meal prep, light housekeeping, and driving to appointments or errands. I enjoy providing support because I genuinely value kindness, patience, and helping seniors feel safe, respected, and cared for. I absolutely love animals—especially cats! I have experience caring for a variety of pets and I’m comfortable with different breeds and temperaments. I can help with walking, feeding, playing, litter box cleaning, and giving your fur babies lots of attention. I’m also comfortable with larger animals and pets that shed. Cat sitting is something I especially enjoy because I love their personalities, their routines, and the calm, cozy energy they bring to a home. Overall, I bring compassion, responsibility, and a positive attitude to every job. I genuinely enjoy building trust and making sure the families and pets I care for feel supported and understood.
