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!

My name is Ashley, I graduated from Saratoga Highschool in 2020. Since then i've completed various childcare certifications. This past year i took a sabbatical to persue my talent in Makeup. Now that I have Graduated Cosmetology School Im looking to come back to childcare! Currently I attend SUNY Adirondack full-time studying Early Childhood Development and Pyschology. I have been babysitting many children since I was 12 years old. My experience is excellent with children as young as newborns to 13 year olds.

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.

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.

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!
