Booked by 12 families in Ridgewood, NY

Hello! I absolutely adore babysitting because I enjoy caring for others and playing with children's wild imaginations. As a highly experienced caregiver, I hold an associate degree in Early Childhood education, am currently finishing my bachelor's in human services and community, and have worked at the Rockefeller University Child and Family Center for six years. During that time, I gained an extensive background in babysitting and teaching children of all ages. In addition to my education and work experience, I am also trained in CPR and first aid, so you can trust that your child is in safe hands. I am also highly flexible and available to work on short notice or at irregular hours. In fact, I am able to work overnight and most weekends, so you can have peace of mind knowing that I am always there for your family. I've built great connections with many families from this website, some of whom I've even remained close with to this day. In fact, I'm honored to say that one child I used to babysit is now a part of my wedding! I mention this to let you know that I'm more than just a babysitter; I truly care about the families I work with and strive to build meaningful relationships with them. If you're looking for a reliable, caring babysitter who truly loves what she does, I would be honored to work with your family. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to set up a time to chat. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

“Needed a sitter to help me throw my daughter's pink princess bday party at her school. Lauren was wonderful - punctual, helpful, knowledgable about toddler bday parties, personable, professional and strong. The students (two and three year olds) loved her. Lauren stepped into the MC role, also held that stuffed pinata for a long time with very few breaks for about 15 minutes as 14 toddlers took their turns to try to beat it open (with my daughter getting first and last turns). Lauren is at the top of my list for next year's school party. Grateful that she applied and accepted the job. Highly recommend.”

I am ithesha i get along well with kids I think that can be attributed to my sunny disposition. I don't mind pretend play going outdoors or just staying in reading a story or building something with Leggos. I am available on short notice and I work past midnight if needed.

“Zina was able to come on very short notice when I really needed some help, which was very appreciated. She was great, very proactive and able to relate to our kids very quickly. She came up with some great games for our fairly active boys and they had a good time with her. I would recommend her to anyone and we will definitely hire her again.”

Hello - my name is Jas! Currently I’m looking for some part time work, and I have availability for 1-2 evenings a week or weekend. I got into babysitting at a young age for kids in my neighborhood. As I got older I expanded into other parts of childcare as well! Some of my experience includes volunteering at my local children’s center as an after school aide, working and hosting birthday parties at my previous job, being a camp counselor every summer for years, and being a nanny for the past 4 years. I've been working with kids for almost 7 years now, and before the pandemic I was a part time crafts teacher at an after school program. I was in charge of a class of 10-15 kids for a few hours every week doing small projects together. All in all I adore my time with kids and I’m not afraid to get down on the ground and play with or engage your child when it comes down to it. I am very motivated to help children be happy, healthy, and well behaved. I am very interested in helping you with your child and I am really flexible with scheduling. I have previous caregiving experience in dropping off/picking up children, helping them with homework, doing crafts, preparing simple meals, doing indoor/outdoor activities, reading, bedtime routines, etc. If you have a pet I don’t mind! I am not allergic to cats or dogs so I am all good on that front. I look forward to hearing from you!

“Great with our dog!”

Booked by 15 families in Ridgewood, NY

I've been a childcare provider in New York for 12 years, starting as a daycare employee and later as a long-term babysitter. From 2020 to 2023, I worked as a nanny for a family with a 16-month-old daughter. In 2023, I joined a nanny share and cared for two children aged 6 and 13 months. In 2024, I worked with a couple and their 4-month-old daughter. I also worked with a pre-teen on the autism spectrum part-time. Since May 2025, I've been a nanny for a family with a 23-month-old son, who will start school soon. I'm currently seeking long-term employment. I am passionate about childcare because I love being able to help children learn and grow. Working with children has encouraged me to be more creative and carefree simply by looking at the world from their perspective. The opportunity also gives me a pivotal role in helping to prepare someone for the world and all that is has to offer, which is very rewarding. I speak fluent English and conversational Spanish and minored in Arabic (majored in National Security Studies) at my university for four years. I am certified in CPR and First Aid and am a non-smoker.

“Tashaye was punctual, communicative, calm, and able to seamlessly follow our child’s schedule!”

"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)."
