Find infant babysitters in Ridgewood, NY

Hi, I’m Yulma. I’ve been a full-time babysitter for about 10 years, caring for children from newborns to age 13 (part-time and full-time). I’m gentle, patient, trustworthy, and hands-on. I love helping kids grow socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically. I keep children engaged and active: we read, play games, do crafts, and get outside. I especially love taking kids to museums and the park, planning playdates, and creating fun routines at home. I’m happy to help with light meal prep, spanish language speaking, baths, and bedtime. I have some college coursework in Early Childhood Education, Kids on the Spectrum training, and Baby & Pediatric First Aid certification. I’m experienced with special needs and provide calm, structured, sensory-friendly care. I can share three strong references from current families. I work across the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, and Harlem, and I’m willing to travel further if needed. I will love your children like they’re my own—and keep them learning, laughing, and moving. I look forward to connecting!

I'm a warm, loving, energetic and young at heart childcare professional, and passionate about giving high-quality care. Besides free play, I create activities that are both fun and educational, and incorporate music and art into a child’s day. I cultivate a safe, warm, and comfortable environment in which children can learn, develop, and express themselves while also nurturing social skills. I’m experienced at establishing routines and setting rules and boundaries in a gentle manner, always using positive language. Before I became a childcare professional, I first had two children of my own, a girl and a boy, two years apart. Raising them has been my biggest endeavor and accomplishment so far. They are now in college. It was the passion of raising my own two children, and my desire to understand how I could best support them on their way to become well-rounded and successful adults, which inspired me to to study and earn a B.A. in Early Childhood Education and turn this passion into my profession.  During my 10yrs of working with children ranging in age from newborn to 9yrs old, I was as a nanny of an infant with a sibling, a group teacher of 25 kids, a care teacher for a pod of 4, including twins, and a co-teacher for 6 kids, 18mo-5yrs. These varied experiences with children, both in private homes and teaching in more formal preschool settings, as well as parenting, has equipped me with a unique blend of insights and skills, ideal for nurturing and educating children.  I particularly enjoy working with babies, toddlers and preschoolers, and have proven many times, that I am able to take care of multiple children at a time, whether they are twins, or siblings different ages. Additionally, I would like to stress, that I am not only fluent in English, but German and French as well, should you wish to expose your children to other languages.  Besides childcare I am happy to help with kid's laundry, keeping their rooms organized and clean, doing light housekeeping, cooking and baking, both healthy, child-friendly, and if desired vegetarian. In my private time I enjoy cooking nutritious and delicious recipes, including various dips, spreads and sugar-free treats, always adding to my little recipe repertoire for children. I also like to stay physically active with riding bike, pilates, swimming and dancing. I'm looking for additional babysitting 10am-3pm weekdays and weekday evenings from 7pm/7:15 on, with occasional weekends.

Hi! I’m Divya, a 26-year-old finance professional living in NYC. I’m available in the evenings and on weekends and I love spending time with kids and helping families out. I’ve been caring for children for many years-from keeping infants and little ones entertained with games and crafts to helping older kids with homework or getting them to activities on time. I’m happy to help with light housework, laundry, or meal prep, and I’m always up for a trip to the park or some fun, active play. Families tell me I’m energetic, caring, and easy to work with. I make it a priority to create a safe, happy, and engaging environment for kids, whether we’re cooking together, doing a puzzle, or winding down with a story. * I am CPR and First Aid certified

Hi! My name is Annie and I just graduated from the University of Virginia with my degree in nursing. I work in the city and I love to babysit in my free time!! I have lots of experience with a wide age range.

Hello everyone! My name is Kamila and I have been living in NYC for a little over 6 years. I moved here after going to music school in Boston. I’m a singing songwriter and work within arts administration/operations. Since moving to the city, I have worked with children ages 3 to 11, and I’ve learned so much. I enjoy fostering a sense of creativity and playfulness in the kids I get to hang with, and I’ve also taught beginner piano lessons for families around NYC and Brooklyn. I also have been petsitting/housesitting for doggies and kitties on the east and west coasts of the US and abroad over the last 3-4 years. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know your family :)
