Menayal T., Babysitter in Amherst, NY 14221 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi, families! My name is menahil and I am a medical school graduate . I have over 6 years of experience caring for children, ranging from newborns to teenagers, many of whom I have met through Care and while tutoring. I was a Sunday School teacher for few years before moving to Buffalo. Not only that, i also got to babysit with special needs. Children are such a joy and it has been a privilege to work with many families. While I value safety, it is also important to me that kids simply have fun in a creative, loving environment. I enjoy all aspects of childcare, but I especially enjoy arts and crafts, outdoor play, and reading.

Susanna V., Babysitter in Amherst, NY 14221 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello! I am currently caring for two toddlers until our contract is up at the end of June. I’d love to continue caring for little ones. A little about me: I spend a lot of my time riding my bike, learning ceramics, tending my garden and raising a little flock of urban chickens. I have my BFA in studio art and love to craft and draw with little ones. I also love to go on nature walks, read and play with the children I care for. I have experience caring for 2 - 10-year-old. I am willing and excited to expand on this range. I am fully vaccinated and up to date on boosters and intend on remaining vigilant with Covid boundaries. My roommate and dear friend has a two and half year old and we are committed to being very careful to keep him healthy. If you think we could be a good match I’d love to hear from you :)

I graduated from Nichols School and have just completed my first year at Highpoint University.

I have 6 years of paid experience caring for children, but I also have experience helping out with siblings and cousins for even longer. I have cared for all ages and I have experience with twins. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I am comfortable supervising swimming and helping out with driving, including carpools. I love a good craft, outdoor time, and imaginary play! I genuinely love being around kids and always make sure they're safe, happy, and having fun!

I am a compassionate, loving, go with the flow woman who adores children. I enjoy bringing my love of music, baking, and outdoor exploration to children. Empowering them to be confident in their own freewill while still being respectful and honoring of those around them.  I love the opportunity to get messy, loud and energetic with children… and we clean up afterward, knowing that we had a good, eventful day!

Valentina V., Babysitter in Amherst, NY 14221 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello, My name is Valentina. Born and raised in Kingston Jamaica. From a tender age, I have always cared for the elderly, children and animals. I grew up on a farm with my grandmother, a strong woman who raised me to be the young lady I am today. She ended up becoming very sick to the point where we couldn't care for her anymore, but that didn't stop us at all. We hired a part time Nurse and I came home from school in the evenings to look after my grandmother in our own home. After years of struggling with being an amputee due to diabetes and morbid obesity her heart finally stopped and she died in her sleep. After her death, I moved to America to pursue nursing. I started out with a live in job with a family in long Island. I took care of a retired policeman who became immobile due to his morbid obesity and his need for a pacemaker. I also took care of special needs children and I also worked in hospice care. All of these jobs prepared me for the nursing field. I realize that nursing isn't easy, this isn't the movies, it's certainly not Grey's Anatomy. And with these experiences, I build friendships here in America. And I believe that this journey is only the beginning.
