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 sad. If you think I would be a good match for your family, feel free to contact me.

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.

Barbara has been an exceptional babysitter for our 13-month-old. She is incredibly easy to work with, professional, responsive, and a natural caregiver. What stands out most is her intuition—she knows how to read and respond to our child's cues, especially when things don't go according to plan. We have complete trust in Barbara and always feel comfortable knowing our child is in her care. She is dependable, attentive, and genuinely invested in providing the best care possible. We highly recommend Barbara to any family looking for a skilled, trustworthy, and compassionate caregiver.

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.

My name is Christa and I love working with children. I always knew I wanted to work with young children as I was growing up with a large family. Now, I am blessed with two daughters, ages 5 years and 16 months. I recently graduated with my associates degree in early childhood education and also have my NYS teachers assistant certification. Upon graduating, I got a job in a daycare as an assistant infant teacher and was promoted to the lead preschool teacher within a few months. I am a substitute at the Catskill Elementary School so I am looking for a summer babysitting job now that school is out. I am comfortable taking care of children from newborn age and up. I am certified in CPR and first aid. I know how important it is to find a caring, nurturing and trustworthy person to take care of your children as that is what I would want for my own. I am that Person! I enjoy crafts, outdoor time, books, songs, games and anything to do with imagination.

Hi! My name is Shayla! I'm 20 years old and have about 4 years of experience working with children, including time in an after-school program! I live in Columbia County, I'm CPR and BLS certified, and will have an Associate's degree in Arts and Science this May! I also will be starting nursing school this fall! I currently work as a Patient Care Technician on a Mother-Baby unit, so caring for infants and supporting families is something I'm very familiar with! Growing up surrounded by nieces, nephews, and younger cousins has given me lots of hands-on experience keeping kids engaged and entertained! I love planning fun activities like outdoor play, arts and crafts, games, and story time. I'm also happy to help with light housekeeping like tidying up, dishes, and organizing toys. My goal is to create a safe, positive environment where kids can have fun and parents can feel at ease. I'm responsible, dependable, and love building positive connections with families I work with. Maybe we can work something out!
