Hello! My name is Becky Burmester. I am an active grandma of 5 and was a foster parent for 25 years. With more time on my hands, I have recent babysitting references. I would love to help out other families. I have experience with all ages of children but most extensive experience with infants. I am first aid certified and cpr certified. I am COVID vaccinated. My philosophy is that as a sitter my sole job is to interact with the child(ren) and supervise all activities. I live near Buffalo and New Hope Roads. I am pet friendly.

We feel so lucky to have found Becky. She has watched our children twice and even rescued us last minute when another sitter cancelled, and each time she has been absolutely wonderful. She brings such a calm, experienced presence. It’s clear she’s very comfortable with children and knows how to balance being kind and warm while also maintaining clear boundaries. Our preschooler took to her immediately. On Valentine’s Day we returned home to lovely painted cards that were so special. As parents, the reliability and peace of mind she provides are invaluable. Knowing someone so capable and thoughtful is with our children allows us to truly relax while we’re out. We’re incredibly grateful for her help and would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for a dependable, experienced, and caring sitter.

Hello! My name is Emily - everyone calls me Em. For the past few years I have been working as an accountant. Previously, I spent many years working full-time for nonprofit summer camp organizations as well as many positions at other summer camps. I would love to find a family that needs occasional help - for weekends/date nights or something part-time during the week. I started babysitting at age twelve for family friends. By the time I was in high-school, I was working closely with a family of four children and would watch them on overnights while the parents traveled. During college I was a nanny for two toddlers in New York, driving them to and from schools and parks. Since then, I have worked at a daycare in the infant room and have helped out with children community programs as well as babysat for various families. I have a lot of experience with newborns, infants and toddlers, but love to work with children of all ages. Some activities I enjoy in my spare time are baking, hiking, photography, knitting & mountain climbing. I have a big family and am the proud auntie of ten kiddos under the age of ten! A couple specifics regarding driving and pets: I am currently leasing a car with mileage restrictions, so if there is a need for a lot of driving for errands or for kids schedules, I would prefer driving a family vehicle. I have driven trucks, vans, all of it - am a very competent and aware driver and have never had any kind of record or at fault accident. Experience driving children, am always extra careful. I am comfortable with pets, but do have a pet dander allergy so some breeds are ok but some are difficult to spend a lot of time with. I do have a love for animals and am happy to discuss it.

Thanks for reviewing my profile! There's nothing I would rather do than be with infants, toddlers & children. I provide whatever each child needs - comfort and cuddling, down-on-the-floor game playing, or, athletic, artistic and intellectual activities. With experience as both a pre-school teacher and mother of three remarkable daughters, I respect & adore children of all ages, using patience, kindness, redirection and humor to bring out the best in them (and in myself!). I have a proven ability to swiftly form trusting bonds with children & I consider caring for their well-being to be one of humankind's most important responsibilities. I am a founding board member of the Golisano Children's Museum in Naples, FL, where I just relocated from after 35 years! I hold a BA degree in Literature & my interests include history, jazz, nutrition, biking, art, & photography. Seeking short term, occasional, newborn support, one-time, special event, sick care & emergency. $25/hr.

Brenda watched my 8 month old baby girl for us last minute and she was fantastic. She engaged with age appropriate play during her wake time, kept her on her schedule, and even help straighten up the house while she was napping. She was punctual, professional, gave a great end of day report to us, and best of all our daughter loved her. We would love to have her back anytime our schedules align again.

We had a wonderful experience with Barbara! She was amazing with my 2-year-old son—he connected with her right away and didn’t want her to leave at the end of the day, which says everything. She came prepared with toys that kept him engaged and happy, and she handled his routine perfectly. She even got him down smoothly for his nap, which isn’t always easy. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful babysitter.

I'm a Registered Dental Assistant. I enjoy being able to work with younger children and being able to provide helpful care and teaching them educational lessons such as the alphabet, numbers, and being involved in fun activities! My previous experience working with younger children was at a daycare center as a Teachers Assistant with toodlers. My duties that I provided were reviewing materials and lessons with the children, teach proper behavior and rules that needed to be followed in the classrooms, keeping track of attendance, and interacting and being involved with the children. I am First Aid/CPR certified!

De Ambra is an absolute gem De Ambra worked with our family for a couple of months in 2026, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. She is wonderful with children and has a special ability to build strong, genuine connections with them. My boys absolutely adored her, and after just two months, it felt like she had become part of our family. She always came prepared with plenty of fun, creative activities and went above and beyond to make her time with the boys meaningful. She would research activities ahead of time, offer to take them on outings to the library and other places, and even incorporate educational and pedagogical activities into their time together. She strikes the perfect balance between making sure the children are having fun and gently reinforcing basic rules and boundaries. Beyond being fantastic with the kids, De Ambra is incredibly kind, trustworthy, and reliable. We were especially grateful to be able to count on her when I unexpectedly went into labor and had to leave the boys at home while we went to the hospital. She did an amazing job caring for them during such an important and stressful moment for our family, and knowing they were in such good hands meant the world to us. De Ambra has a huge heart, and it truly shows in the way she cares for children. She brings so much warmth, initiative, and positive energy to her work. We are unfortunately traveling abroad and won't be able to continue working with her, but if we were staying in the US full-time, we would absolutely love to keep her with our family. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have De Ambra caring for their children. We recommend her wholeheartedly!

I have over 15 years of experience as a nanny and a babysitter and have excellent references, as well as experience with multicultural and multi-generational families. I enjoy helping children grow, learn, and just be happy. With a degree in English, I have the skills to help kids with their homework. CPR and First Aid certified, available mornings, evenings, and weekends. My favorite activities with younger children include Lego's, trains, dress up, arts and crafts, games, reading, etc. The families I have supported have retained me from kindergarten through high school, and we have maintained lasting relationships. They have entrusted me with driving their children to school drop off and pick up, sporting activities, grocery shopping, and so on. If you are looking for a regular, reliable, loving baby sitter, contact me. I am also available to organize your home and do light housework. I live in Garner. Commuting is not a problem. I am also available for date nights. I can give you references after we speak.

Hi! I’m Brea and I am a loving, reliable, and attentive caregiver with hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. I currently work as a full-time nanny for two school-aged girls (5 and 7), managing school pick-ups, transportation to extracurricular activities, meal preparation (lunch and dinner), bath time, and maintaining a structured, organized daily routine. I also have experience as an infant/toddler teacher in a childcare center and have helped with potty training, picky eating, and developmental milestones. I hold my Early Childhood Education credential and am trained in SIDS awareness, CPR, and First Aid, allowing me to provide safe, informed, and responsive care. I love screen-free play, creative arts, outdoor activities, and creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel supported and confident. Families appreciate my calm presence, strong intuition, reliability, and genuine love for children. I’m comfortable with pets, have reliable transportation, and I’m happy to help with child-related household tasks. My goal is always to support both children and parents while bringing positive energy into every home I work in!
