$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Ridgewood, NY

Hi - my name's Mical! A Bushwick resident of 2+ years now. Originally from Connecticut, where I've babysat for 3 families throughout 12 yrs ! I'm a music and bookstore enthusiast, and try to incorporate both in my sitting. I'm also a major foodie, so cooking is a display of love I'm happy to share where I can. -Experienced 3 mo.s old + My longest history babysitting was 7 yrs, to a family of 3 sweet boys and a pup. My double-major in Human Development& Family Studies and Psychology fostered a commitment to promoting learning, healthy attachment, empathy and curiosity in my kids. Childcare and pet care have been the most fulfilling and entertaining work I've done so I'm excited to continue building relationships with my community while enjoying play time! -Licensed, responsible driver (no car) -Red Cross CPR trained

Mical has been an amazing babysitter for our family, and I cannot recommend her enough! She is not only reliable but also incredibly patient and attentive with our kids. The children adore her – she engages them in different activities, ensures they stay safe, and keeps them on their routines which is a hard task on its own! Mical is the one!

Catherine $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Catherine. I love working with children. I was a preschool teacher last year and really enjoyed working with that age group. My age range as a teacher was 6 months to 5 years old. I also worked at summer camps with children ages 6 to 15. I respect and care about children. I will listen to your child, play with them, and treat them like a good friend. I have my driver's license in case it's needed. I am also learning to roller skate if that is something your child is interested in! Happy to meet!

Maya $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Maya, and caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I was born in New York, grew up in California, and have been back in New York for the past seven years. I started babysitting in college and quickly realized how much I love helping kids learn, play, and grow. I come from a big family, so I’ve had lots of hands-on experience with little ones—including my 3-year-old brother and many younger cousins that I’ve proudly helped care for over the years. I know how important it is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment, and I always treat children with the same care and attention I would want for my own family. I’m a non-smoker, enjoy spending time outside, and love getting creative with arts and crafts. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or simply being a kind and reliable presence, I take pride in making every day positive for both kids and parents. I’m currently looking for a full-time nanny position and would be excited to become a trusted part of your family’s support system!

"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)."
