Find local babysitters in Ridgewood, NJ

My name is Yasmin. Responsibility and kindness are my most defining qualities. I come from a large family and helped raise many of my nieces and nephews from their birth. I can understand, with you as the parent, the need to feel safe and secure with your children's baby sitter. So you can thoroughly enjoy your night out. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, even if that means having to clean a dirty diaper or two. When I'm together with your children, firstly, I will follow your instructions to the letter and, if I have any questions, we will use our pre-arranged contact plan. I am happy to keep your children's playtime active; toys, coloring, games, story-telling, television (if they are allowed to watch), listening to music, and, most importantly, letting them guide our activities. Seeing a child go to bed with a smile on their face really warms my heart. I have knowledge about development milestones. Also, I am available to give Spanish lessons in person or virtual. Thank you for considering me as your next babysitter.

Hi there! I'm a junior at Columbia University, studying Urban Studies and Architecture. I'm originally from Kansas City and DC, and just got back this fall from Reims, France, the capital of Champagne, where I studied Political Science for two years. I'm outgoing, energetic, and caring with kids, and react well in emergencies. I tutored kids of all ages throughout high school, so I'm great with homework help. I have a valid drivers' license and am happy to run errands. I love teaching kids to be responsible for themselves, instead of being overbearing and authoritative in telling them what to do and not to do. I love making art, playing outside, and cooking with kids. Since I've been abroad since high school, I haven't been able to babysit as much as I used to, and I miss hanging out with kids! I nannied a pair of twins from ages 2 to 7, and have also babysat less longterm for several other families with children in the same age range. I volunteered for 3 years at a school for blind/visually impaired children aged 1-6, and for Head Start daycare.

Hi! I'm Mariela. I'm a fun, responsible, and experienced babysitter you can count on. I'm 18 years old and have nearly 4 years of experience babysitting children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I'm currently a college student, so while I can’t commit to full-time nannying, I’m happy to offer reliable after-school and evening care. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and your child’s safety and happiness will always be my top priority. I’m known for being patient, creative, and energetic. I love doing arts and crafts, playing games, helping with homework, and creating a calm, positive environment. I also understand the importance of following routines and keeping things running smoothly while you're away. I'm available every day after 3 PM and am flexible on weekends. Whether you need an occasional sitter or more regular help during the week, I’d love to connect and see how I can support your family!

Hi, my name is Yaylin and I’ve been babysitting since I was 15. I grew up with younger siblings and cousins so I grew to love being around kids and bonding with them. I have previously worked in neighborhoods like Hell's Kitchen, Upper West Side, Harlem, Tribeca, Washington Heights, Inwood, and Parkchester where in most of my previous jobs I have watched two kids at a time. The kids ranged in age from 6 months old - 12 years old. I am very patient, observant, compassionate, and reliable. I am a foodie so I will be able to cook for the kids, prepare snacks, help out with household chores and laundry, aid in errands, assist with homework if needed, take the kids to fun activities or parks or any clubs/programs they're involved in. I can also entertain the kids if needed but overall make sure they're safe and well taken care of. I am also very well with pets- cats and dogs- whom I also have experience caring for. I am a recent college graduate and I am flexible with scheduling as long as I am made aware in advance. I do not have a driver's license but I am very good at navigating the MTA transit system. I am bilingual so I am fluent in English and Spanish. I am First Aid/CPR certified as of January 2024. Looking forward to hear from you and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions :)

I am a mom to older boys who is kind and compassionate for babies, toddlers and kids of all ages. I have been in childcare for over 10 years with so many success stories to tell. Some of the kids I have worked with are in Colleges and some are working the world over. I am so great around kids and they love me naturally.

Hi parents! I’ve been babysitting and nannying for 10 years and truly love what I do. I first started in college after connecting with local parents through my daycare position - and I’ve been lucky to build lasting relationships with many amazing families ever since. While I’m originally from New Jersey and have worked with families across my community there, I’ve recently moved to Manhattan and I’m excited to connect with new families here! Over the years, I’ve done everything from short-term babysitting and long-term nannying to being a go-to sitter for regular date nights. I have experience with kids of all ages, from infants to teens, and feel especially comfortable with bedtime routines, story time, and light dinner prep. I especially enjoy weekend sitting and date nights (my personal specialty!). I’m also happy to help with weekday evening coverage if parents need time to run errands or take a breather. I’m CPR certified and infant first-aid certified, and I have experience caring for children with allergies, including administering EpiPens. Lastly but certainly not least, I pride myself on being dependable and communicative - I always keep parents well informed about my availability. I know how important it is to have a reliable person watch over your little ones and will always do my best to avoid last minute cancellations. References available upon request - I’d love to get to know your family!

I'm a warm, kind, patient, gentle, trustworthy, reliable, energetic and fun-loving woman with a kind spirit who adores children. Working with children is very rewarding for me.

This is why I've been a volunteer with New York Cares since 2018. Helping my community is a way for me to grow as a person and connect with the people in and around my community. I have experience working with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. Some of my childcare responsibilities includes but not limited to: encouraging/assisting children in reaching their age-appropriate development milestones; organizing/hosting playdates, snack/meal prep, kitchen/play area clean-up, homework help, read to/with children; kept children engaged in their interests, played with and did fun activities like arts & crafts; Drs. appointments, trips to the park, zoo, museum and libraries. Bath & bed-time and recipe baking with the children, school/camp/day care pick-up/drop off. My skills and experience will allow me to provide a supervised, safe and stable environment for your loved ones. I look forward to meet or speak with you over the phone.
