Hello families! I am a 32 year old New York native who is looking to help babysit for families. I grew up on Long Island and went to high school and college in Virginia. I graduated from Columbia with a Masters in Public Health, focusing on reproductive and newborn health. I am currently attending a midwifery program at SUNY Downstate. I have been babysitting children for over 15 years. I have worked summers as a nanny for families of up to three children, children ages newborn to 13. I have worked in the nonprofit world for over 10 years. I am certified in Neonatal Resuscitation Program and Basic Life Saving for Healthcare Providers (CPR for adults and children). I am a very flexible babysitter; I have experience driving, coordinating after-school schedules, cooking meals, doing laundry, making/giving bottles and changing diapers. I love doing creative arts and crafts, reading, and creative Read more writing with the kids I babysit, my mom is a first grade teacher and I get lots of fun ideas and supplies from her. I am a singer, piano and sax player, and would love to teach music to anyone who would like to learn! I speak Spanish, Portuguese, and a little French. I would love to help out with your family!

Caitlin cancelled on us just one hour prior to when we needed her due to a stomach virus, leaving us in a bad spot. Would not recommend her services. -GTW

Caitlin is an enthusiastic and dependable babysitter. She arrived to the job bearing a bag of "goodies" - books and crafts. When I arrived home several hours later, I found my children (ages 4 and 6) sitting close to her listening to her read story books. The house was neat and, most importantly, my children were happy. I would highly recommend Cailtin to any family.

Caitlin is a wonderful, warm, professional, friendly babysitter who hit it off immediately with our 6 year old right off the bat. Also, she did a number of activities with our daughter that kept her engaged and entertained (Maddie reported very positively on her experience :-) In addition, Caitlin more than stood up to the task of helping out with our incredibly large great dane puppy while she watched Maddie, and that's no easy feat! She is on time, and is excellent at staying in close contact up to and through the babysitting job. I look forward to having her help us out as often as possible from here forward! Feel free to contact me should you want to do a reference check.
