Find experienced babysitters in Kinderhook, NY

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.

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.
