We hired Katie a couple weeks ago and she was wonderful! She engaged so well with our kids, playing with them throughout the evening. She handled bedtime beautifully, getting them settled down and reading them a story before sleep. Katie was reliable and the kids really enjoyed having her. We'd definitely hire her again!

I am a mom of two grown boys who are now adults and are independent and happy. I Love children and I would be an asset to your household by giving high quality care to your children. I am caring, trustworthy, very reliable, very responsible and most of all.... experienced with children. I give 110% of my attention to the children I care for. I am and always have been a NONSMOKER. . I am Pediatric CPR/First aid certified. I have a reliable car. I am Covid vaccinated as well as DTAP vaccinated. If I am watching your child he/she will have a great time. I will pay attention to your children. I love playing games, going outside to play with them. Read to them, and also help them in learning and keeping to a schedule as directed by Parents. Right now I am only looking for occasional date night babysitting. However, I will be looking for newborn or infant positions in the fall. Particularly looking for teachers schedule. Full or part time. Thanks.

We had a wonderful experience working with Karen. She responded quickly to our listing, and from the moment we connected, we felt completely comfortable leaving our one year old daughter in her care. Karen babysat for us while we attended a wedding and seamlessly handled playtime, dinner, bottles, and bedtime. She checked in with us beforehand to make sure she had all the details she needed, and she sent thoughtful updates throughout the night. Karen is a confident, caring, and truly lovely caregiver. We highly recommend working with her!

Catherine has been working with us for almost a year watching my 16 month old daughter while I work from home. She is extremely reliable and has helped our family tremendously. My daughter is happy to see her when she arrives and I am confident she is getting quality care. Catherine has experience with children in the infant/toddler range and always informs me of updates throughout the day and keeps my little one on schedule. She genuinely seems to enjoy working with kids, engaging in playtime and taking my daughter to activities. She has even taken care of our dog while we've been away. Overall I would recommend her to anyone looking for care for their children.

Hi I’m Sophia! I’m a grad student currently attending SBU to get my MBA! I just graduated in 2025 with a Bachelors of Science in Business and Psychology. I am American Red Cross CPR/AED/First Aid certified for Infants, Children, and Adults. I’ve had 5 years paid experience in childcare starting as a mother’s helper, to babysitter, to nanny. Over the past 5 years I’ve worked with several different families. I started working at my university’s child care Infant-Toddler Room in January 2022 in which I assist with taking care of 15 children ranging from 3 months to 3 years old! Through the daycare, I have acquired several different types of skills through mandated trainings, like allergy awareness and safe sleep. I have travel nanny experience with two different families caring for their infants (6mo and 8mo). I also have a handful of families that I occasionally babysit for! I'm very creative and passionate about art, I love to think out of the box and come up with new crafts and developmentally appropriate activities! I love letting the kids express their creativity through play, music, and art!

Odalie was a fantastic sitter for my 2 year old son and 5 month old daughter. She was on time and connected with the kids immediately, who can be very hard to please at times . She played with them, feed them and put them down for nap time with ease . Wish she was available full time I would have kept her until the kids are ready for school .
