Booked by 1 family in Ridgewood, NY

I am punctual, hard working, and communicative! I have worked with kids as a party princess and a babysitter. I just got off a cruise ship contract where I worked with the elderly. I have also pet & house sit for animals and spaces of all kinds!

“Sophia was wonderful! She arrived on time and she brought some activities for the kids. I loved the way she engaged with them. It’s obvious she has cared for children before and that she genuinely enjoys being with them. She’s also bright and articulate. A super good role model.”

Manuela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Manu, with the 6 years of experience caring for children from 0 to 13 years old. My top priority is to create a safe, loving, and respectful environment where every child feels free to express themselves and grow at their own pace. I'm also trained in first aid, so I can handle any emergency with confidence. I'm a patient, organized, and disciplined person, but always with a warm and caring approach. I truly enjoy spending time with kids, whether it's playing, learning through fun activities, or simply being there to support them. I believe in giving children the space to make their own choices, and I'm always there to back them up along the way. Building trust is essential to me, and I strive to create a positive, supportive relationship with each child I care for. If you're looking for someone who's responsible, caring, and dedicated to helping your kids every step of the way, I'd love to be part of your family's routine and support you however I can.

Hazel $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a young artist that would love to help a family looking for part-time childcare. I am qualified due to years of babysitting local kids within my small hometown on the coast of California, as well as my two completed CTE (Career Technical Education) courses in Psychology and Psychological Development of Children. Completing these courses took 4 years total and I spent my senior year being Teachers Assistant and Art Teacher for students aged 6-11. I am quite young so I am able to connect with kids very easily and I genuinely enjoy their company. In terms of safety I am very reliable. I'm very and physically aware due to my High School years as an all-state wrestler. I continue to practice martial arts regularly, so if necessary I know how to protect anyone who needs help. I can keep up with kids energy levels and physical fitness. I am great with school assistance in all subjects and can navigate electronics with ease. As a caretaker, my goal is to find creative ways to help kids explore knowledge and the world around us.

"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)."
