Valentina V., Babysitter in Buffalo, 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.

Jennifer C., Babysitter in Buffalo, NY 14221 with 13 years of paid experience

  Hi, My name is Jennifer.  I am 45, a non- smoker with no children of my own.  I went and graduated from St. Mary's High School in Lancaster, NY (1997).  I also have a Degree in Early Childhood Education from Villa Maria College of Buffalo (2000).  My degree primarily focuses on infants through preschool children, but I do have experience with older children as well.  I completed two internships, through Doodlebugs Daycare (Preschool Program) and St. Agnes Grammar School (Kindergarten Class).  I graduated from Villa with high honors and have a degree and portfolio to show.  I am Infant, Child and Adult CPR Certified through The American Heart Association-recert class taken in June 2025.  I have cards issued for both as well as an achievement certificate.  I do drive and have a 2019 Kia Sorento AWD and would be willing to do any type of local transportation you may need or require for your child or children.  I have a clean drivers license which can be verified, as well as a very recent copy of my driving record abstract.  I keep up with defensive driving every three years through AAA of WNY to enhance my driving skills, as well as learn new driving techniques and current statistics.  Any type of light cleaning and cooking is fine and completely acceptable.  I am fun loving and have been told I have exceptional manners, as I attended all Catholic Schools.  I am a nature enthusiast and love animals, especially dogs and cats.  I have an outstanding relationship with the Erie County SPCA from past fostering of small animals for them.  I especially love going for walks at the Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve and Losson Park.  I do have references I can send through email as well.  I previously worked for Doodlebugs Daycare, The Advisory Board For Lovejoy Elderly And Youth and The Visually Impaired Preschool. Looking for sporadic work when I am available, 8-16 hours per week. It would be great to continue to utilize my degree and do what I absolutely love!  Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my profile. Fully vaccinated as of March 23rd, 2021! Always keep my background check and driving checks up to date. Received the newest Covid booster September 3rd, 2024 (6 shots total), flu shot given August 11th, 2024 (2024-2025 season) and also had a TDAP booster in 2022. PPD done yearly as well. jmcef@aol.com

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!

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

I genuinely love being around kids and always make sure they're safe, happy, and having fun!
