My name is Sara. I’ve been caring for children since I was 16 and have experience with newborns through teenagers, including caring for multiple children at once.

Booked by 49 families in Ridgewood, NY

Hi my name is Marina. I was born in Ukraine and speak fluent Ukrainian , Russian as well as English. I decided to become a nanny 10 years ago because it is a very rewarding career that brings joy into my life. I have excellent references that I would like to share on private messages when the time comes.I worked in the Financial District taking care of 2 children but the job came to an end as a family moved to Germany. I worked for a family in New Jersey, as a live-in nanny; with 5 kids in a Brooklyn family as a mother helper; family with 2 boys and a girl, ages 7, 8 and 3 years, with a family in Battery Park city with 2 amazing kids ages 4 and 2. I also have been working in the day care for a year back in Ukraine where I graduated Teacher Training University. I enjoy playing with dinosaurs and cars, as much as dolls and princesses. I enjoy cooking healthy meals, reading and singing to kids, teaching manners and good eating habits, helping with homework and playing sport (especially soccer). I consider myself a great nanny that treats kids as if they were my own. I also have great reference letters that can tell you more about the care I give to kids, my priorities are safety, education and happiness when it comes to my job. P. S. My policies: - 5 hour- minimum of work -50% cancellation policy - ride home after 10pm -50% premium on Weekends - let me know if kids are sick. -50%/hour after 6pm -15$ eaxta for every kid

“Marina is professional, punctual, reliable, and asks all the right questions that show that she is both experienced and very attentive to the needs of the little ones and the parents' preferences. She goes the extra mile, tidying toys and running the dishwasher for baby bottles without being asked. But most of all she is genuinely warm and caring and develops a rapport with the kids so that they are comfortable with her and look forward to her coming. Thanks Marina!”

Booked by 11 families in Ridgewood, NY

Hello, my name is Solanje and I'm a mother of a 4-year-old little girl, so I know what's it's like to be responsible, patient,loving, and caring. I have a huge family with kids and I’m always the person who babysits. Before I became a mother I was always babysitting my boy cousins for 2 years since they were babies until grade school age. I would also would watch my niece when my big sister would go out or if she needed help. I watched my niece since she was a new born baby till now she’s currently 5 years old. My older brother recently had a baby boy in April, my baby nephew turned 8 months December 6th. I also watched my adorable nephew occasionally since he was born till now. I truly enjoy watching babies they are too adorable and precious. I would change diapers, following sleep schedule and soothing them to sleep, take walks out while the baby are in the stroller to get fresh air,make their milk and feed it to them,wash the bottles,bathing, feeding baby food when the babies reached 6 months, tummy time,read books, sing songs,and lots of play time. Some activities I do with children would be going the park to play🪁,bubbles🫧,dance parties,hopscotch,make slime,stacking blocks, teaching sign language, pretend play with dolls and cars,story time📚,sensory bins, soccer ⚽️, puzzles🧩,puppet shows,arts and crafts like finger painting🎨, scavenger hunt games,balloon volleyball and more. I maintained a safe,structured, and stimulating environment for daily routines such as cognitive and emotional development through play-based activities.I communicated regularly with parents sending pictures giving updates on how the baby was doing. I'm confident,loving, and very reliable, I will treat your kids like I treat mine with love and patience and I'm lots a fun. I love to cook, especially baking sweets from scratch on special occasions for my daughter since I personally like to know what’s in the food I make for her. I always try to add something nutritious in her food and sweets like mini pumpkin pies I made last thanksgiving for her I didn’t use sugar I used organic maple syrup to add sweetness and she loved it. If you have pets that's great because I have a puppy and her name is Snow she a Bichon. I attend at Hostos College. My major is licensed practical nurse and my passion is working with kids. I’m open to being a long term babysitter/nanny or just an occasional babysitter. My schedule is flexible! Feel free to reach out🫶🏽

“ Solanje is very experienced with children and we had a great experience. Will definitely book Solanje in the future.”

Bahara

Booked by 10 families in Ridgewood, NY

Hi, my name is Bahara, I am 57 yo. I’m an engineer by education, but I’ve been a professional nanny for 15 years. My love for children led me to work I enjoy, and what brings me true pleasure. I have a wealth of experience raising children and helping them develop, as evidenced by the numerous positive recommendations. I believe that the main joy in working as nanny is the opportunity to share a piece of my soul and to observe kids’ growth. I like working with kids an early age, teaching them new and unknown skills: how to crawl, sit, use a potty, take their first steps, read books and sing songs. Also, I like to spend a time outdoors with kids, which allows us to explore the world: play active games, socialize with other kids and develop new skills. My years of experience and the love I am willing to share allow me to find a common language with little ones and their parents I constantly work for improving my skills in pedagogy by reading articles and literature. Kindness, love, honesty and openness, responsibility and reliability are inherent qualities of my personality, which children immediately feel. In addition, I have no bad habits, I am fully vaccinated from Covid and get a flu shot every year. I have a valid driver license and reliable car. I will be glad to meet and greet new kids and their families. Sincerely Bahara Hasanova

“Bahara was such a delight. She was so responsive leading up to the booking and was so amazing with my son. We felt so comfortable leaving him with her. She came on time and was so attentive the moment she stepped in the door. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat and can’t wait for her to hang out with my son again. ”

Booked by 6 families in Ridgewood, NY

Hello! You can call me Fatou for short. I live in the Bronx, willing to commute. I’m 25 years old and a full time experienced babysitter/nanny. I’ve been on Urban-sitter for a year now. I’ve done over nights, school drop offs and pick ups, and occasionally one time jobs as well. Worked with 7 families so far. I do well with complex schedules as well. Why babysitting/nannying? Knowing how to take care of kids before becoming a mom myself <3 I prioritize safety, clear communication, and consistency while creating a comfortable environment where children feel cared for and parents can feel at ease. I’m a former summer camp counselor from the Little Shepards program, had lots of fun going on outdoor trips to the zoo, amusement parks and museums. I’m a big sister as well, my little sister Tita! She’s 8 years old and the sweetest thing ever. We do a lot of our own girly dates like movies, kids spa and quick errands with me. So far we’ve watched The little Mermaid, Moana, Mufasa, and Elio! I have a 2 year old British short hair cat so I have experience with kittens/cats. Definitely look forward to working with you and your little ones soon!

"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."

"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)."
