Find an emergency babysitter in Ridgewood, NY

Hi! I'm Haneen — a product designer with a background in architecture, and someone who has genuinely always loved being around kids. I grew up looking after younger siblings and cousins, and have helped out friends and family as a babysitter over the years, so I'm comfortable with the rhythms of caring for little ones even if it's not my full-time world. I'm creative by nature and training, and I'd love to bring that into time spent with kids, teaching them to draw, paint, work through a puzzle, or just make something fun with whatever's around. I speak Arabic fluently too, which kids tend to find pretty exciting. I'm available part-time and happy to work with most age groups, I don't have a specialty, but I'm attentive, patient, and good at reading what a kid needs in the moment. One small thing: I'm allergic to cats, so homes with cats aren't a great fit, but dogs are totally fine by me! If you're looking for someone reliable, warm, and a little creative to spend time with your kids, I'd love to connect.

As an empty nester who raised three children of my own, I bring a level of 'mom intuition' and calm authority that only comes with decades of experience. I specialize in providing high-end, reliable care for families who need a seasoned professional they can trust immediately. My background is unique: I’ve supervised a world-renowned kids' club, taught a wide range of subjects, and have extensive experience working with foster youth. This means I am exceptionally adaptable, patient, and capable of managing any situation—from high-energy play to quiet routines—with ease. I am available for day-by-day, occasional, and last-minute bookings. Whether it’s a date night or backup care during a busy day, my goal is to provide your children with an engaging, safe, and positive environment so you can have total peace of mind while you're away. I am comfortable with all ages and look forward to meeting your family! I graduated from NYU and majored in psychology.

Hi! My name is Emma and I would love to be a caregiver to your wonderful kiddos! I’m a creative and imaginative personality with the inclination for caring for children. I grew up a dancer and pursuing that professionally now in the city, with the dream of being in the Ensemble of a Broadway show! I love that I can share this art and my profession with children, even teach them a few moves. I have 4+ years babysitting as well as dog sitting and I care dearly for the elderly. I’m open to several different scenarios including school pick up/drop off, after school tutoring, evening date night babysitting and so much more! I hope that I can be a part of the integral part of your children’s lives and make an impact in one way or another!

I have over 8 years of childcare experience across a variety of settings, including nannying, coaching, and working in children’s programming. Most recently, I worked as a Kids Club Attendant at the Four Seasons Orlando, where I design and lead engaging activities and games in a high-energy, luxury environment. I also spent three years working in retail at Walt Disney World, where I focused on creating memorable, engaging experiences for families and children. This strengthened my ability to connect quickly with kids and bring energy and positivity into every interaction. In addition, I have extensive coaching experience with both the Savannah Sharks and Upper Merion Allstars, where I led practices and taught tumbling classes. I also coached a cheer team for children with differing abilities, which was one of the most meaningful parts of my experience. It taught me how to adapt to individual needs, build confidence, and create an inclusive, supportive environment for every child.

Hi, I’m Chevelle and I’m here to offer my services as both a senior caregiver and child caregiver. As an aspiring physician I take joy in any opportunity given to connect with all types of people and caregiving has afforded me the opportunity to do so. I have years of relevant experience as a result of my time as a camp counselor as well as health Director along with my current role as a Behavior Technician to kids on the autism spectrum. I put safety first in all aspects but I’m still about having a good time and bonding with those under my care.
