Booked by 45 families in Poughkeepsie, NY

Hello, I'm Tiffany! I'm 29 years old from New Jersey. My childcare experience began with mommy-helping at age 12 then independently babysitting at age 17. I have traveled the tri-state area and worked with children all ages from infancy to teenagers. I have also worked with many individuals who had varying specials needs. I always give my all when I'm interacting with children, and my goal is to always leave the entire family feeling safe and happy! I am CPR/AED Certified, been fingerprinted by the state of New Jersey, have my own car and most importantly can supply excellent references! I work many jobs but I always have time to help new families for date night, parties, sick days, etc. Please feel free to reach out to me!

Tiffany was absolutely amazing! She juggled two infants like it was no big deal! She is a super babysitter and I would recommend her with the highest level! She watched our babies at my sisters wedding! What a gem! I cannot wait to use her in the future if I’m ever in town again. Thanks Tiffany! You saved the day!

Hi! I’m Alexandria, I’m 21 years old going to be an upcoming senior majoring in Business and Theater arts with a Spanish minor. I am a fun, responsible, and caring babysitter with over 5 years of experience. My caregiving experience started early through helping with my mother’s licensed daycare, where I assisted with children from infancy to elementary age. Along with caring for my younger siblings and my newly born nephew, I’ve developed strong skills in multitasking, creating engaging activities, such as playing with toys, bringing out their creative side with arts and craft and also handling a range of child needs. I’m CPR/AED/First Aid certified for both children and adults. I can cook, clean, drive, and I’m conversational in Spanish making me a flexible and dependable caregiver. I love creating a positive, safe, and enriching environment for kids whether that’s helping with homework, planning activities, or reading bedtime stories. I’m committed to making each family feel supported, respected and safe leaving their children with me. In my free time I like to read, play video/pc games, go shopping, explore new places, do self-care, dance, cook/bake, workout and make videos here and there. I am very outgoing and enjoy being outdoors. I’m excited to get to know your little ones and you as well! Feel free to reach out!

Hi! My name is Jessica. I have over 15 years experience with nannying/babysitting as well as children with disabilities. I have been taking care of dogs and cats my entire life (34 years). I’m a very kind, responsible, reliable, positive, hard working, compassionate, patient, calm, caring, organized, clean, tidy, adaptable, easy going, friendly, rational decision maker, friendly and proactive professional who excels at helping others and taking care of households. I began babysitting at 14 and began nannying at the age of 18 through present. I’ve worked with infants, kids, and teens as well as individuals with disabilities of all ages (an area I thrive in). Nannying/babysitting/helping others/ taking care of households comes naturally to me and I absolutely excel in these fields of work with a positive and “go getter” attitude! When I am babysitting/nannying/taking care of pets/households that is my main focus and I do not let anything get in the way of accomplishing my goals or work. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you!

Loved her! She showed up on time, was super pleasant and Raven loved her. They had ice cream and went to the park. She sent me pix and kept me updated which was great. Would recommend her again !

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
