Hello! If you are looking for a dependable, caring, and experienced Full-Time Nanny or babysitter, I’d love to be considered. The health and safety of your children will always be my number one priority. I am BLS (Basic Life Support) certified and have over 8 years of experience caring for ages 0-12 in both babysitting and nanny roles. Children in my care tend to thrive because I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and engaging them in fun, age-appropriate activities. Whether it’s outdoor adventures like walks, bike rides, and park visits, or creative indoor play like board games, arts and crafts, imaginative play, and cooking, I strive to make each day enjoyable and enriching. I’m also highly experienced in infant care, including feeding, swaddling, soothing, changing diapers, helping with gas and fussiness, and understanding different cries and needs. My goal is always to provide a loving, nurturing, and safe environment where children feel comfortable and secure. In addition to childcare, I take pride in helping maintain a stable and tidy household while parents are away, so they can return home to a calm and organized space. I do have one important note: I would need to bring my 3-year-old son with me on Wednesdays and Fridays. He’s a sweet, energetic little boy who loves to play and interact with other children. As I’m not in a position to arrange full-time childcare for him, I’m seeking a family open to this arrangement. I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you about how I can support your family! Warmly, Faith Ehrsam

My name is Jacqueline. To start off with a little bit about my experience, I am currently a Postpartum Doula for a set of preemie triplets, totaling over 10 years of Doula experience with multiple births. I have worked in home day cares and childcare centers, as well as babysitting and nannying for ages newborn to 12 years old. I have raised 4 children and will be a new grandma in December! I absolutely adore kids and always make it a point to treat them how I want my children & grandchildren to be treated! I truly believe that my passion is working with children and think it's important to not only care for them, but to teach them through creative activities as well. I have 3 animals of my own, so I’m definitely a huge animal lover! A few general activities I enjoy doing with children are singing, dancing, playing instruments, reading, painting/crafting, learning colors/ABCs, fun outings, etc.

My name is Ajuné, I'm 23, and I'm a student at Cornell. I'm majoring in Psychology in order to become a clinical child psychologist. I have a lot of experience as a babysitter, nanny, and preschool assistant teacher. I've always been great with younger children and have felt like they gravitate towards me. Their sweet, innocent energy makes me feel at peace. I had my first recurrent, independent babysitting gig at about 11 with a 2-year-old boy, and my first job with a 1-year-old girl a year later, both of which went very well. Since then, I've babysat multiple other little girls and boys of various ages (2 months+), needs (including special needs), and personalities. I have experience sitting up to 3 children at a time but have supervised up to 12 as an assistant preschool teacher. I look forward to serving your family!

With a strong foundation in special education support, student safety, and hands‑on childcare, I bring a calm, structured, and compassionate approach to every child I work with. My experience as a Para II in an Autism program has equipped me to adapt classroom activities, provide individualized accommodations, and support kid's social, emotional, and academic growth, ensuring they can fully participate in their daily routines. In my current job as a Van Aide/Monitor, I assist with the safe loading, transportation, and supervision of students with disabilities, supporting students with mobility, behavioral, and emotional needs, including securing seat belts, harnesses, and adaptive equipment, which has strengthened my ability to remain steady, attentive, and safety‑focused in dynamic environments. I’ve also worked directly with young children in early childhood settings, where I assisted in the daily care and supervision of children aged 4 to 6, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment, helping with meals, hygiene, emotional support, and play‑based learning. Families can expect a caregiver who communicates clearly, adapts quickly, and prioritizes each child’s comfort, dignity, and developmental needs. I believe in meeting children where they are, celebrating their strengths, and creating a warm, predictable environment where they feel understood, supported, and genuinely cared for. I am an individual with Autism and I've always wanted to help others like myself. It's my goal in the future to become a special education teacher. I love working with kids and bringing out the best in them.
