Booked by 12 families in Ridgewood, NY

Hi! I'm Roxy. I grew up in Austin, have a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Texas, and am currently looking for new families to sit for in New York. I started babysitting more than a decade ago and have since held positions as a nanny, a childcare provider at a pilates studio, a substitute teacher, and a tutor both in-person at an under-resourced middle school and for distance-learning during COVID. I'm certified in pediatric first aid and CPR, comfortable with pets, and have a clean driving record. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are bake, read together, work on art projects, and get outside to the park or playground. I believe in instilling a sense of compassion, independence, and social justice in children from a young age by creating an environment where they feel loved, heard, and supported. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

Roxanne was great! Professional, reliable, and communicative.

"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)."
