Booked by 7 families in Ridgewood, NY

Hello parent, I think I will be a great choice to take care of your child, I have been babysitting starting at a young age and have babysat for groups as big as 10 children. I am more available nights and flexible schedules.

“We hired Veronica for a summer to help our 2 y/o transition from being with mom full time to starting 2K in the fall. We’re only sad we didn’t find her sooner! We love Veronica’s patient and calm energy, she was so nurturing and attentive to our child’s development, and she was proactively helpful in other areas of our child’s care without needing to be asked. She was perfectly punctual, responsive and communicative, and accommodating of our hectic schedule. Our kid loves her so much and asks about her all the time now that the summer routine is ended. We always look forward to having Veronica back to babysit regularly!”

Booked by 2 families in Ridgewood, NY

I have experience caring for children from early infancy through early adolescence. I worked as an Au Pair in the United States, where I was responsible for the children’s daily routine, including feeding, transportation, recreational activities, academic support, and general care. In addition, I volunteer at a children’s hospital, where I carry out playful and educational activities with children of different ages. My background in Pharmacy also provides me with knowledge in health and first aid, contributing to safe and responsible childcare.

“We scheduled Gláucia last minute and she was very quick to get in touch and coordinate. We were able to show her our daughter’s bedtime routine and she did a great job getting her to sleep! We had an awesome night out and will book her again soon.”

Hello! My name is Haley and I'm a New York transplant by way of San Francisco (with a detour for college in New Orleans). I'm currently working as a tech recruiter, but enjoy spending my off time on the weekend or in the evenings babysitting :) Childcare Experience: My mom owns a preschool in San Francisco and I spent many summers there helping with the children growing up (between the ages of 2 and 6). I have also been fairly regularly babysitting since I was 15 and have always enjoyed it!

Booked by 1 family in Ridgewood, NY

Hi, I’m Mike! I live in Williamsburg and have always been the go-to pet sitter for my friends whenever they’re out of town. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding time, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I love spending time outside (especially with a furry friend by my side), and when I’m not with pets or hanging out with friends, you’ll probably find me reading a good book or planning my next travel adventure. Additionally, I spent my 20s teaching English across the world, am TEFL certified, and have 1:1 tutored dozens of ESL students. My experience is mainly in a classroom environment but I grew up in a big extended family and love being around kids as well as pets of all kinda.

“Mike was so wonderful and my dog Arthur quickly warmed up to him”

"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)."
