Portia G., Babysitter in Alplaus, NY 12008 with 5 years of paid experience

I’m a childhood education major college student with a genuine passion for caring for kids, bringing three years of babysitting experience with children of all ages, specially infants to 12-year-olds. I’m creative, adaptable, and always ready to bring fun, learning into any home I step into. With a strong background in planning engaging activities, helping with homework, and smoothly adjusting to new routines or environments, I aim to make every child feel safe and supported. I’m also great with pets, can drive to any location, and handle school pickups or drop-offs with ease. If you’re looking for someone who truly enjoys helping kids thrive, I’d love to be that person for your family.

We needed a sitter for a gap week that we had in daycare, and Portia was great. She helped our little one stay engaged with activities all day and her calming presence helped her through the transition. Portia was great with communication and was lovely to have around. I would recommend Portia to anyone needing care.

Exceptional Babysitter We feel incredibly lucky to have found Yatanar as our babysitter. From day one, she has been warm, attentive, and wonderfully dependable. Her calm and kind demeanor immediately put both us and our child at ease. It's clear she truly cares about the well-being and happiness of the children she watches. Yatanar has a natural ability to connect with kids — she’s playful, patient, and always engaged. Whether it's reading stories, playing games, or just chatting, she gives her full attention and creates a safe, fun environment. We also appreciate how communicative and responsible she is — always punctual, respectful of our routines, and quick to update us if needed. Most importantly, our child adores her and looks forward to every visit. That peace of mind is priceless for any parent. We wholeheartedly recommend Yatanar to any family looking for someone reliable, caring, and truly wonderful with children.

Kristen is fantastic with my children! She is super sweet, keeps the kids fully entertained, and was able to pick right up on my kids routines with just a quick explanation. We utilize her services on a weekly basis and my oldest counts down the sleeps until she comes back again. She’s great!

Gabriella R., Babysitter in Alplaus, NY 12008 with 9 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m Gabriella Riccio — 26 years old, a certified Teacher Assistant, and a psychology graduate with a minor in Sociology. I currently work as a Teacher Assistant at an elementary school, where I support students academically and emotionally throughout the day. My background includes over 9 years of experience working with children ages 6 months to 13 years in daycare centers, schools, afterschool programs, summer camps, private tutoring, and babysitting for date nights, overnights, weddings, and even travel nannying. I’m passionate about helping kids learn, grow, and feel supported, whether through creative play, academic help, or just being a steady, caring presence. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, have experience with children with developmental differences, and love helping with homework, tutoring (especially English, history, and elementary math/science), and hands-on enrichment projects. I also bring along a big portfolio of crafts, activities, and learning games that make afterschool time fun and engaging! I’m currently available for: • After-school care and weekend babysitting • School breaks and holidays (winter, spring, and random school closures) • Summer break help • Homework help and tutoring • Date nights, workdays, and overnights • Light housekeeping and meal prep • Pet care and walks I have my own vehicle, though it’s not in perfect condition but up to date and inspected I prefer not to do a lot of travel in my own car — it’s still reliable for getting me to and from work, and do have a booster seat available but I’d be more comfortable using a family car for driving children but short distances would be fine. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and dog, playing ukulele, writing poetry, and getting involved in theater and the arts. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and bring positivity, structure, and creativity to your child’s day!
