I’m the extra hands every parent sometimes needs! I’m looking to join a family looking for an at home caregiver! For occasional jobs, I have evenings and weekends open and some overnights if planned ahead!

Courtney W., Babysitter in Lancaster, NY 14086 with 10 years of paid experience

My name is Courtney, but you can call me Ella. I’ve been doing childcare my whole life, unpaid childcare from age 6-12 with my younger siblings, paid childcare through family, friends, and neighbors from age 13-19, and experience working in daycare settings and as a nanny. I also hold a bachelors degree in criminal justice. I love being a sitter because it gives me the chance to have an impact on the growth and development of these tiny people, and to impact their knowledge and learning as well, and allows me to see the world through a child’s eyes again. I’m very good with kids, I always have been! Playing make believe, learning about new things and creating new experiences, and reading stories are some of my favorite things to do with the kiddos I work with. I love to teach the kids about nature and the way the world works too! I can provide references upon request.

Natalie P., Babysitter in Lancaster, NY 14086 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m Natalie! I have been babysitting for as long as I can remember, I’d say probably about 8-9 years. I’ve always been the “go to” babysitter in my family :). I also work at a daycare as a teachers assistant, I’ve been working there for just a little over a year now. I have experience with any age and I love what I do! I am also CPR and first aid trained! On top of making sure I guarantee a safe environment for the kiddos I also love doing arts and crafts for mom & dad, going outside for some fresh air, reading books, playing the kid’s favorite games. I also make sure to communicate and provide pictures while mom and dad are out so you know what’s going on 😊.

Paige C., Babysitter in Lancaster, NY 14086 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi, I’m Paige! I have over three years of experience as a nanny in Los Angeles, caring for both infants and toddlers. In addition to my hands-on childcare experience, I’ve worked as a substitute teacher, giving me valuable skills in education, patience, and creativity. I also spent time as a party princess, bringing joy and magic to children’s events—so I know how to keep little ones entertained! Currently, I work for Compeer, a mental wellness organization, where I support individuals in building confidence and connections. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids to learn and grow. I am CPR and First Aid certified and know basic Spanish and intermediate level ASL.

Keira H., Babysitter in Lancaster, NY 14086 with 2 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Keira I am 20 years old and am currently a university student finishing up freshman year. I have been babysitting for quite some time but have been doing it more seriously for two years. I took a training program a few years back through the YMCA program where I learned CPR and other first aid training. I love kids and have worked with a wide range of ages the youngest being four months and the oldest being 14 years old. Last year I was also an assistant coach for a youth hockey team. Not only do I hope to help you look after your child but also assist you around the home where needed. I tend to follow the parents lead when it comes to communication, house rules, and kinds of activities to do with the child. I am a friendly outgoing person who hopes to help you and your child.

Keira helped me out this summer with my kids and occasional dog sitting needs. She is very personable, prompt, and flexible when it comes to helping out. I would highly recommend her and would use her again without hesitation.

I hired Taylor to watch my 4 girls (ages 5,8,11,12) while we were traveling into town for my sisters wedding. We are not from Buffalo and I was very nervous because I couldn’t meet her before the wedding. The kids immediately felt comfortable with her and the entire night went smoothly. My kids have some challenging behaviors at times and cognitive and social emotional delays and Taylor was perfect for the job especially with her work experience. I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!
