Erik 1 review
$23 per hour for 1 child

I enjoy babysitting and have been caring for children of all ages—including newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids for many years, especially growing up with younger siblings. My experience includes driving children to and from school, organizing crafts and activities, and providing elementary-level tutoring. In addition, I work as a household assistant and am happy to help with cleaning, cooking, running errands, transportation to appointments, and other daily tasks. I’m comfortable working in homes with pets and multi-generational families, including those with grandparents.

Erik was our nanny for 2–3 years, and if we could have taken him with us when we moved, we absolutely would have. He became such an important part of our family. Erik became such an important part of our family. He is an incredible caregiver — patient, loyal, and deeply trustworthy. He prepared meals for our children, handled overnights with confidence, and was always there whenever a situation came up. We always felt completely at ease knowing our kids were in his care. Any family would be so lucky to have him.

Hello, families! My name is Andyleidy, but you can call me Leidy (pronounced like “Lady”) I’m fully vaccinated and graduated from high school in 2023. I attend BMCC majoring in nursing,I am not enrolled this semester, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I’m reliable, organized, a great communicator, and always willing to adapt to each family’s unique routine and parenting style. Whether you need occasional, part-time, or full-time care, I’d love the opportunity to become someone your family can count on. I have years of childcare experience, caring for infants, toddlers, and children since I was 12 years old by babysitting my younger siblings and cousins. I’m a patient, responsible, caring, and dependable nanny who genuinely enjoys helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. I also have experience tutoring children, helping with homework, and cooking—one of my favorite hobbies! I love planning fun, age-appropriate activities while also encouraging independent play when it’s appropriate. I am fluent in both English and Spanish and enjoy staying active. I love sports, especially volleyball, and bringing that energy into games and outdoor activities with kids. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping, running errands, meal preparation, and other household tasks to help make your family’s day a little easier. I’m also pet-friendly and have a puppy of my own, so I’m very comfortable around pets. If you have any questions or would like to get to know me better, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I would love the opportunity to build a trusting relationship with your family and care for your children with kindness, patience, and respect.

Booked by 1 family in Ridgewood, NY

Hi there! My name is Madelyn, and I am a performer offering child care and pet sitting services. I'm a fun-loving individual with a background in teaching and theme park princess work. I’ve been babysitting kiddos of various ages for several years now! My responsibilities have spanned anywhere from transporting children to/from school, tutoring, mealtime/bedtime routines, and the occasional game of freeze dance! I am happy to work with any and all animals (I even have experience feeding snakes!) I don’t scare easily!

Madelyn is an absolute gem. Her communication was excellent and my toddler had the best morning in her care. She easily kept him engaged through creative play, and my son was disappointed when she had to leave! Highly recommend!

"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."

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)."
