Find experienced babysitters in Kinderhook, NY

I'm a mom myself and a full-time teaching assistant. I’ve experienced the issues with childcare firsthand and I’m happy to help whether it be for date nights, or a little extra help on the weekends. I try to keep my availability on here as up-to-date as possible. Due to my job, I have open availability on school breaks. I have experience babysitting children of all ages and have 12 years of experience working with individuals with developmental disabilities/behavioral problems. I love to watch children learn, and would be great homework help after school. I prefer to engage children the same way I was as a child such as by playing games and sports, building forts, or getting outside & enjoying nature. I enjoy cooking and baking, and arts & crafts. I have no issue completing household chores (and it's not something you will need to even ask me to do!) and running errands as needed. If I seem like a good fit for your family, please don't hesitate to reach out.

I truly love being a nanny and sitter because caring for children has always been a natural part of who I am. I find joy in creating a safe, nurturing environment where kids can grow, explore, and feel supported. Every child is unique, and I value the chance to bring out their creativity, confidence, and curiosity through play, learning, and consistency. I have decades of hands-on experience raising my own children as well as working with families in the U.S. and abroad. Over the years, I have cared for children of all ages from newborns and toddlers to school aged kids and teens with an emphasis on patience, positive communication, and encouragement. I understand the balance between structure and fun, and I know how to adapt to each family’s needs.

My name is Melissa and I have over 30 years experience caring for children of all ages (newborn - 14 years). I have had the privilege to care for children in private homes as well as in daycare and after school settings. I truly enjoy creating fun and creative activities that encourage individuality and imagination. I am also a licensed veterinary technician in several states and have been first aid, CPR, and MAT certified. I do not have a background check on here since I am licensed in NYS. This allows you to look me up on the NYS Office of Professions which is updated regularly and will show any misconduct or criminal activities if I were to have them. I currently have the pleasure of helping to care for my 1yr old grandson and my 2yr old autistic nephew.

Hello! I love children and I have been told time and time again that I have a natural talent when it comes to working with them. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years of age. I have had the pleasure of babysitting some amazing children, and I love being able to watch them grow up. There is particular child that I actually have had the pleasure of seeing her grow up from just a few months old! During the winter seasons in high school I worked at a ski resort and taught children between the ages of 4-5, basic ski skills. Since then I have worked in daycare and continuous babysitting! I look forward to connecting with you!

Hi! My name is Abigail. I recently graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City and am planning to move to Austin, TX full time starting in September. I have many years of experience working with children in different environments, including, helping out in my mother's classroom, babysitting children with special needs, and assisting in educating young children at a non-profit in New York. These experiences have given me the room to grow and understand the challenge of caring for children, and has taught me most importantly the ability children have to grow and learn, as well as what we can learn from them. I enjoy reading, hiking, gardening, art, fashion, and learning in general and ensure that I will be engaged with your child at all times, occupying them with lots of activities. I hope create a warm and friendly environment where they can express themselves in a safe space.
