Anna B., Babysitter in Dover Plains, NY 12522 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi everyone! I'm Anna, I've always loved caring for and educating children. I have my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I grew up in a big family with 11 siblings and over 20 nieces and nephews!! So caring for children has been a natural part of my life. I've worked with kids of all ages, but most of my professional experience is with 12months to 5 years old. I student taught at Hill and Plain elementary for the preschool. I led activities ranging from story times, music, and movement, to various art and sensory projects. My focus was always pushing curiosity and of course giving them a safe space to do so! Some activities I really enjoy doing with children are getting outside and going to the playground and parks, the library, sensory play, teaching shapes/colors, arts and crafts, and how to navigate their big emotions. Outside of work I'm big into health/fitness, visiting friends and family, reading and trying new things like restaurants or hobbies!

Hi there! My name is Aubrey Cullum and I am a 21-year-old college student. While new to professional care, I have about 10 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, starting with my own younger cousins! Babysitting has always been a passion of mine, as I genuinely enjoy helping children grow, learn, and have fun in a safe and nurturing environment. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable skills in managing everything from homework help to bedtime routines, meal preparation, and creative playtime. Whether it’s organizing arts and crafts, reading stories, or outdoor adventures, I love engaging kids in activities that spark their curiosity and imagination. If you’re looking for a babysitter who treats your little ones with the same care and attention as family, I’d love the opportunity to work with you! Feel free to reach out with any questions!!
