Booked by 1 family in Ridgewood, NY

Hi! My name is Izzy and I’ve worked as a sitter for over 10 years. I also have worked with kids in general, both boys and girls. I am an actor but always have been good with children. I‘ve babysat for quite a few families in Brooklyn over the years. Still close with a good chunk of them. I’m responsible, creative and easygoing. I love helping out other people. I’d love to chat if you think it’d be a good fit. Hope to talk soon!

Isabella $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Isabella, and I’m a graduate from the University of Texas at Austin with a genuine love for children! I have several years of childcare experience, including working as a professional nanny, preschool teacher, and teacher’s assistant. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, and am comfortable managing multiple children at once. I’m nurturing, patient, energetic, and dependable, and I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where children feel happy and cared for! I enjoy planning creative activities, spending time outdoors, reading, helping with homework, and encouraging learning through play. I’m also happy to assist with school pickups, meal preparation, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping. I’m CPR-trained, a non-smoker, and comfortable with pets. I understand the importance of finding someone you can trust with your children, and I strive to be a reliable, positive, and caring presence in every family I work with. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

"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)."
