Laura C., Babysitter in Mechanicville, NY 12118 with 15 years of paid experience

A Little About Me Hi there! I’m an experienced, fully vaccinated nanny who loves connecting with children and encouraging each one’s unique personality. I’m patient, kind, and attentive, with years of experience caring for children of all ages—including those with special needs. I’m organized, reliable, and able to manage a household smoothly, whether multitasking independently or anticipating what needs to be done. I’m a non-smoker, an excellent driver and swimmer, and a retired criminal justice professional with a college degree. I’m happy to submit to a full background check. I’ve also held household manager roles, so I understand how a home should run. I enjoy cooking, can help with light housekeeping, and provide pet care if needed. As a mom of two grown children, I know how important stability, consistency, and respect for your family’s privacy are. I believe communication is key and would love the chance to chat with you about your family’s needs. Please reach out if you’d like to connect—I’d be happy to talk!

We absolutely love Ashley! She loves spending time with kids and truly connecting with them. My kids adore her. When she babysat for us regularly, she was very communicative about her schedule and never missed a shift without providing advance explanation. She is very responsible, and we always felt safe leaving our kids in her care.

I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old and have been a professional nanny for about 8 years now. I have experience with kids of all ages. I love arts and crafts and board games too! So I’m always ready to have fun and also stick to the structure they are used to. I have lots a references, I still babysit randomly for most of the families I’ve worked for.

Kristen P., Babysitter in Mechanicville, NY 12118 with 7 years of paid experience

I am a graduate student at Russell Sage College studying Nutrition and Dietetics. My school schedule only allows me to babysit on weekends and potentially one day per week (dependent on the semester and day of week). I adore spending time with kids and I have a significant amount of experience in childcare over the last several years. I nannied for a family with a child with down syndrome and have experience as a live-in nanny in Italy. The Italian family had three children, ranging in age from 2 to 8. I have babysat and nannied for several other families as well. I have also spent many years volunteering in a kindergarten classroom and in my free time I worked as a substitute teacher. I love to do crafts, get outdoors and exercise, as well as spending time with animals. I look forward to hearing from you!

Kristen is fantastic with my children! She is super sweet, keeps the kids fully entertained, and was able to pick right up on my kids routines with just a quick explanation. We utilize her services on a weekly basis and my oldest counts down the sleeps until she comes back again. She’s great!

Anya S., Babysitter in Mechanicville, NY 12118 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello there! My name is Anya and I am here to help lighten your load, helping to make your busy schedule a little easier. I'm energetic, responsible, reliable, kind, compassionate, and caring. I have always loved and enjoyed working with children. My experience starts when I was 13 watching not only my niece but my mom’s friends kids. When I turned 17 I started working for the YMCA at an after school program, I worked with the YMCA for 2 years till they unfortunately closed due to the pandemic. During the pandemic I went to school for childhood education. I worked as teaching assistant which included my 7 years of working experience with children. I most recently was a nanny for a family who had an 8 month old and was with them for almost two years. It is something I love to do and am passionate about. Not only do I love caring for children, but I also love helping with things that need to be done around the house. I am willing to help out in anyway I can to make things easier for you and your family.
