Sittercity helps Chenango Forks families find the best babysitters

Hi there, my name is Emily! I'm 28 years old, and studying to be a doula. I have a varied history of providing care for others and it's something I truly enjoy! I started babysitting when I was 16 and watched twin toddlers for date nights. Later on in life I became a Direct Support Professional (DSP) - I worked in a group home for developmentally disabled minors. For 2.5 years my responsibilities ranged from housekeeping and meal planning to personal care, night supervision, medication administration and transportation. Soon after, I narrowed my focus to helping families through pregnancy/postpartum support and childcare. After my best friend had her first child, I spent two weeks caring for her and the new baby. I became an assistant in a private daycare working with children ages 6 months to 3 years old. I cared for 6 children - leading them through morning circle time, activities, meal times, and supervised naps for a year. I am Adult & Pediatric/Infant CPR/AED/First Aid certified. I have been fingerprinted for my positions as a DSP and Daycare Assistant. My focus is on giving your child a safe and creative space to learn and grow. I love getting out in nature, baking, doing crafts, pretend play, and encouraging independent time. I am firm, but kind, and am happy to take your lead. Thank you for your time!

Hi! My name is Sofia, and I’m a responsible, caring, and enthusiastic babysitter with over 3 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including those with special needs. I’m currently pursuing a career in School Psychology, which has deepened my understanding of child development, behavior management, and emotional support. My background includes working with children on the autism spectrum, as well as those with ADHD and sensory processing challenges. I am also certified in First Aid and CPR, ensuring your child’s safety is always my top priority. I love engaging kids in creative play, helping with homework, and maintaining a fun yet structured environment. Whether it’s a date night or regular after-school care, I strive to make every experience a positive one for both children and parents. I look forward to meeting your family and providing a safe, nurturing, and supportive space for your little ones!

I’ve always had a deep love for working with children, a passion that started from growing up in a large family. Being surrounded by little ones my entire life taught me the importance of patience, kindness, and creating fun, engaging environments where children feel valued and safe. What I love most about working with children is their genuine curiosity, boundless energy, and unique perspectives. They have a way of bringing joy and light to every situation, and I feel privileged to be part of their lives during their formative years. Over the years, l've had the opportunity to care for children of various ages, from infants to school-aged kids, as well as special needs, which has taught me how to handle different situations with patience and adaptability. I have taken on a variety of jobs ranging from short-term care for a few hours to overnight stays lasting several days. I’ve gained valuable experience in adapting to different routines, personalities, and family needs. My ability to form connections with children quickly, understand their needs, and create a structured yet fun environment is something I pride myself on. What sets me apart is not just my experience but my genuine dedication to each child’s well-being and development. I go beyond simple supervision by actively engaging with children through activities that stimulate learning and creativity. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing educational games, or simply offering a listening ear, I strive to create a positive, supportive space. I understand the trust it takes to leave your children in someone else’s care, and I am committed to ensuring that your child feels safe, happy, and respected every step of the way.

Hi! My name is Madison Ashman and I’m currently a student at SUNY Cortland, majoring in education with the goal of becoming a teacher. I just recently joined this app looking for a job as a babysitter. I’ve always had a passion for working with children—whether it’s helping them learn or just making them laugh! I play several sports and also coach, which has taught me how to be patient, energetic, and a great team player. Outside of school and sports, I’ve spent a lot of time babysitting my younger cousins of all ages, so I’m very comfortable with everything from playtime to bedtime routines. I'm outgoing, responsible, and love creating a fun, safe environment for kids to be themselves and thrive. Whether you need someone for a few hours or more regular help, I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

I'm Cass! I am an artsy person who loves to teach and is committed to being a lifelong learner; there is always something new to learn when working with kids! I do my best to stay a child at heart and am dedicated to spreading positivity. I believe in a holistic approach to childcare, meaning that I try to consider every child's feelings, ideas, and creativity. I try to have a hands-on approach to teaching, whether it means letting the children assist in the kitchen, with cleaning up, or with trying new things. I understand that everybody makes mistakes, so when it comes to discipline I believe the best way to handle it is to correct the children by kindly showing them the proper way to do things and encouraging them to try it themselves. I have tons of childcare experience; I started my journey as a sitter and nanny and am now a full-time teacher's aide for preschool. I believe that children learn through play and redirection and I am a gentle caregiver. My favorite things to do include adventuring with my pup, working (I love my job at the school!), crafting, and baking. I am a very outdoorsy person and enjoy all things nature; exploring, animals, rocks, etc.! I'm comfortable with pets and am willing to help with meal prep and housework. I also have reliable transportation and can provide references and send my resume upon request! I am CPR/AED, first aid, and babysitter certified.

Nurturing young minds is truly my passion. My positive experiences in previous babysitting roles motivated me to become a caregiver. I have a college degree and two years of experience caring for children aged newborn to 11 years. I am comfortable caring for up to three children. I am patient, creative, friendly, and approachable. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. I follow the parents' lead when enforcing household rules. I communicate with parents at pickup and provide regular updates via text or phone call, according to their preference. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. I'm eager to bring my enthusiasm and dedication to your family, and I look forward to creating a fun and safe environment for your children.
