Barbara M., Babysitter in Palenville, NY 12463 with 10 years of paid experience

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.

Margaret provided stellar care for our two daughters (age 3 and 1) and friends’ little ones (age 3 and 2) during a recent visit to the area. She was incredibly kind and gentle with the kids who immediately warmed up to her. My oldest is still talking about how much she liked Margaret, which is not a common babysitter experience for us! She was very communicative, showed up early, and made us feel totally at ease about leaving the kids with her. I’ve already recommended her to some local friends.

Hi! My name is Rachel and I am a very friendly, warm, and fun person. I love kids and have had 5 years of experience with all different ages- some with special needs.

I love pets, have my own car, do not smoke, would love to entertain your kids, help with homework, run errands, go grocery shopping, and keep up with some light housekeeping.

Ashley O., Babysitter in Palenville, NY 12463 with 9 years of paid experience

When you start sitting from a young age, you learn a few things down the road. 9 years later, I've learned that what I love about sitting is the bond created with the families I've sat for. Not to mention, watching the children grow into beautiful, smart, and gifted human beings. It is truly a privilege to be entrusted with the opportunity to support the development and success of the child/children in my care. I have worked with children ages two to as old as sixteen. I love to create less screen time activities! Allowing children to grow in their own creativity. I currently work at a preschool as a teachers assistant! Please feel free to contact me with any questions. We can discuss availability together!
