Adrienne $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Ridgewood, NY

Hi - My name is Adrienne and I am a recent graduate from the University of Texas at Austin. I am offering child care. I love being a babysitter and watched children of all ages since was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and swim lessons. I have actually been a working swim instructor since I was 16! A bit more about myself: I currently work part-time in journalism, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I love animals, especially dogs. I studied film, creative writing, and anthropology in college. I also have experience tutoring in writing, history, and math.

Nicole $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nicole, but I go by Friday. I’m 25 years old and currently offer childcare, pet care, and household support services. In addition to childcare I spent the last 3 years as a community organizer and legal advocate. I have experience with tutoring, as well as supporting high school students with portfolio development. I’ve also led taekwondo classes for children ages 5–16, which has given me strong experience working with kids of different ages, energy levels, and learning styles. I’m a cat owner myself and have experience walking and caring for both dogs and cats, so I’m very comfortable with pet care as well. I'd love to connect and see if we're a good fit!

Ayodele $25 per hour for 1 child

With over twenty years of experience caring for children across a wide range of ages and needs including medically complex and special needs care. I bring a calm, reliable, and highly professional presence to every home and team I support. My background is unique in that it bridges caregiving, household management, personal assistance, and military service. As a U.S. Navy veteran, I developed a strong sense of discipline, responsibility, and crisis response that continues to guide my work. More recently, I have provided specialized one-on-one care for a child with complex medical and developmental needs, supporting daily routines, therapy sessions, medical coordination, and emotional regulation with both structure and compassion. In addition to my childcare experience, I have worked as a House Manager and Personal Assistant, managing schedules, travel, confidentiality, and day-to-day home operations. I am known for being proactive, highly organized, and deeply respectful of family dynamics and privacy. I understand that trust is the foundation of this type of work, and I take that responsibility seriously. I bring warmth, consistency, and professionalism to every role. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where children can thrive and families feel supported. I would be honored to contribute my experience, dedication, and care to your home.

"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)."
