I’ve helped care for my three nieces my whole life and have babysat for multiple families, both long- and short-term, since I was 14. I’m patient, loving, and compassionate, and I truly enjoy kids’ company. I’m a strong leader who’s fun while keeping your child safe, happy, and supported.

Booked by 3 families in Ridgewood, NY

Hi! My name is Sophia and I currently work at an advertising agency. I'm the eldest daughter of 5 kids and so taking care of others at all stages of life has been something I've grown up with. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have been babysitting for 12 years and nannied for 1 year and have enjoyed every opportunity I get to care for kids. I have experience with a wide range of age groups from infants to 12+ year olds. Families I have previously cared for say that I am kind, attentive, fun, compassionate, responsible, and always with a smile on my face. My responsibilities have included driving/to and from camps and swim lessons, crafts, and cooking. Some of my other skills include household services like cleaning. I was a paid cleaner for a year and in my personal life take pride in having a clean home. I also offer the services of running errands, laundry, and organizing. I have also had opportunities to care for a variety of pets - everything from dogs to cats to lizards to hamsters and more. My experience in pet sitting has involved walking, feeding, and playing with the animals.

Caitlin $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, my name is Caitlin! I'm 24 and have been living in the city for the past two years, but am originally from Wisconsin. I went to university for Entertainment and Marketing, and now I work in Film and Television PR during the day, however I am looking to pick up more babysitting gigs as I just love being around kids! Growing up with three younger siblings and 14 younger cousins, I've always been surrounded by kids, so now that I live away from family, I'm missing that burst of joy. I've been a certified babysitting for 12 years (CPR certified, and Red Cross babysitting certified), and worked as a summer nanny for three summers during college. As far as age experience, I'm very comfortable with kiddos of all ages, from infants to teenagers, I love it all! Hanging out and playing with the kids I watch is always a joy, however their safety is always my number one priority! I'm so excited to meet you and am grateful you took the time to read my bio :)

Hi neighbors! My name is Gemma, and I’m an 18-year-old senior at The Brearley School. I have experience babysitting for local families with children ages 5+, and I’m certified in CPR for infants, children, adults. I am also certified in First Aid. I have worked as a camp counselor and have babysat children ages 4-11 before. I also foster kittens, and have lots of experience with cats. I have owned dogs before as well. I’m warm, reliable, and love keeping kids engaged, whether that’s helping with homework, playing games, or reading together. Please feel free to reach out — I’d love to connect with more families in the neighborhood!

Booked by 2 families in Ridgewood, NY

Hi! I’m Ellie, originally from Memphis, TN but I just moved to NYC a few months ago. I’ve been nannying and babysitting for years, and I also worked as an overnight camp counselor for three summers, so I’m very comfortable with kids of all ages. I’m super responsible but also love having fun, whether that’s playing outside, doing crafts, or just keeping kids entertained. I’m also a big pet lover and happy to help with things around the house like cleaning up, errands, or walking the dog.

“Highly Recommend Ellie (Isabelle) She was punctual, communicative, friendly and my daughter loved her! Will work with her again”
