About Deborah

I am college-educated, experienced, responsible, creative, patient and kind! I love babies and kids and truly enjoy a wonderful rapport with them. One mom (see in references: Allaya) whose 3 children I take care of calls me "the baby whisperer"! I am very reliable and level-headed and calm and (i'm told) funny!

I am college-educated, experienced, responsible, creative, patient and kind! I love babies and kids and truly enjoy a wonderful rapport with them. One mom (see in references: Allaya) whose 3 children I take care of calls me "the baby whisperer"! I am very reliable and level-headed and calm and (i'm told) funny! Your child/children will be safe, nurtured and well taken care of with me.
   I am interested in a part-time babysitting position on a steady basis and also on an "as needed" basis. I have enjoyed being a part-time babysitter for several years.    I have also been a Creative Arts teacher/ Teaching Specialist in private schools UWS and Westchester (Library/Storyteller, Music and Art Specialist Teacher), full-time nanny and Mommy and Me music class teacher.  My skills in the creative arts and true appreciation of children are  great assets in my babysitting work.
    I have experience working with children with various special needs and I am a very compassionate and patient person.  I play guitar, piano, am a songwriter of children's music and enjoy making art projects and sharing music and interactive story-making and book-making, songwriting with children!            My college education is in Music and Child Development. That combined with years of Early Childhood teaching experience enrich my babysitting work in invaluable ways.
  I have taught Babies and Mom classes in NYC and Westchester, Music Together Classesand Music/Art classes at Hippo Playground in Riverside Park, The Children's Museum of Manhattan, etc
  Excellent current and past references .Two of my references are posted here and more are available upon request- Very flexible schedule. I live in UWS neighborhood 10024.
  Looking forward to hearing from you.   Thanks very much!
