Find experienced babysitters in Kinderhook, NY

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.

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.

Hello. My name is Brenda and I live in East Greenbush. I am looking for an opportunity as an educational aide/tutor or to provide child care. My experience includes providing child care and tutoring for many families. I also worked with HVCC students at the Disability Services Center for one year after college. My duties included helping students who needed special accommodations or assistance to take tests and exams. I am a responsible, easygoing, and positive person who enjoys spending time with children and watching them learn and grow. When I visit my family, I spend a lot of quality time with my young niece and nephews. They never want me to leave, which makes me happy and a little sad. If you think I would be a good match for your family, feel free to contact me!

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!

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.

👋 Hi, I'm Bridgette Reilly! As a laborer, I'm no stranger to hard work and dedication. But when I'm not on the job, I love spending time with kids and helping them grow. I've been babysitting since I was 16 and it's always been a passion of mine. Looking to expand my horizons and make new connections in my free time.

I began babysitter for my neighbors at 12 yrs. Before that I walked babies in their carriages and played with them at the local park. During my first year of college I was a Jr. Sr. High youth group counselor for three combined churches. Then while I attended St. Rose, I spent many hours working with pre-school through 6th grade. After getting my NYS certifications in N-6, English 7-12, business education, and special education, I have taught N through adults and enjoyed them all! At 46, I was blessed to become a mother to my only child, Christopher Raymond. He and I participated in community events, library programs including fantastic summer programs, VBS, and trips I planned to special places like Washington DC & Honolulu, HI. He was an honors student since 3rd grade, graduated with AP and college credits! This us his sophomore year at Marist University. As a teenager I cleaned house but would prefer to take it easy on my back and knees now. I love to bake. My parents were 36 & 40 yrs old when my twin brother & I were born. They allowed my older brothers to name us. When we were older they taught us to swim, ice skate, build snow forts, drive a small motorcycle and then drive a car with a standard. My middle brother & his wife taught college and high school math so prepared us for math Regents. We also went camping with them in the Finger Lakes.

As a caregiver, I bring over 15 years of experience nurturing and supporting children's growth and development. My journey began with fulfilling babysitting roles, where I discovered my passion for caring for young minds. What motivates me is the chance to make a positive impact on these little lives and offer reliable childcare solutions to families. I'm known for my calm and patient demeanor, which creates a harmonious environment for children to thrive. My creative and imaginative nature fuels engaging activities that foster their curiosity and development. Open communication is essential, so I provide daily written reports, regular verbal updates, and maintain open lines of communication via text or phone calls to keep parents informed about their child's day and address any concerns promptly. Enforcing household rules comes naturally to me, ensuring a structured and safe environment for the children in my care.

Hello Families, I am a very dependable authority, patient and caring person. I get great satisfaction of helping others. I have experience in caring for children since the age of 16. I do not have any problems doing some housekeeping, picking up the children doing dishes and laundry. I keep things organized and clean. I am also pet friendly. Please feel free to reach out. Look forward to connecting with you.
