Bobby was fantastic. Super responsive, friendly and energetic. We felt very comfortable leaving our 15-month-old daughter with her. Thank you, Bobby!

Isabella V., Babysitter in Petersburg, NY 12138 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi there! My name is Bella. I have been working with kids since I was 15, so about 6 years. I have spent months working as an academic and art teacher, as well as a summer camp counselor. I have my own car, plenty of gas and a car seat if needed! I have worked as a nanny for 3 years, and baby sat all ages across all the time I have been certified for babysitting. My specialty lies in numerous children, but I also love having 1 on 1 time! Again, I have extensive experience with all ages, from infant all the way up until High School! Throughout my years of working with children, I have received over 200 hours of explicit child development training. This includes: - solving conflict between kids - bullying prevention/handling - calm down methods - child safety and monitoring - developmental activities and play - working with kiddos with special needs …and much much more. I am an artist by trade, as well as a student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute studying Computer Science and Cognitive Science, with a minor in Business. I have been a tutor and teacher for a few years, so homework is my specialty. I love teaching kids skills as well as art. I am very comfortable with pets, and driving. I am also CPR certified and first aid certified, as well as an ex lifeguard. On top of that, I have a mental health first aide certification for all ages. Working with kids is my true passion, and I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Bella is a warm, attentive, reliable, and fun babysitter! She has an arsenal of games and songs up her sleeve and always has something creative to contribute to the day. My 3-year-old daughter absolutely adores her and frequently asks for her when she’s not sitting! I highly recommend her :)

Glenmary A., Babysitter in Petersburg, NY 12138 with 3 years of paid experience

I’ve been caring for children for many years, starting with my younger family members, including my nieces and nephews. I later gained professional experience working in a daycare, after-school program, and summer camp, where I cared for children of different ages. I’m patient, dependable, and love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for children. I also have experience caring for infants and understand the importance of following each family’s routine and preferences. I’m very comfortable with pets as well! I currently work with dogs and have three of my own, so I’m happy to care for families with pets. If it works better for your family’s needs, babysitting at my apartment may also be an option. I look forward to getting to know your family!

Cynthia D., Babysitter in Petersburg, NY 12138 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi parents! I'm a nanny with over 12 years of experience with children. I've just relocated to Troy/NY with my husband after living in London for the past 5 years. My last role as a nanny lasted four years and the kids were two weeks and two years old when I started. During that period, I also babysat for many different families through an app called Bubble which provides reviews from all the parents –I've always had a great relationship with all of them, especially the kids! I'm happy to send you the link so you can check. Right before moving I had gotten a UK background check which I can provide as well. I'm also Paediatric First Aid trained. I’m bubbly, caring, dependable and open minded. I truly love spending time with little ones, whether it's reading stories, playing games, or just being a calm and reassuring presence while parents are away! I come with a strong background in caring for people and I bring all of that warmth into my time with children. I'm a natural communicator and will always keep you in the loop so you can enjoy your time away with total peace of mind. I genuinely believe that every child deserves to feel safe, heard, and happy, and that's exactly the kind of environment I love to create. I'd be happy to be a trusted presence in your family's life, even just for a few hours here and there. Don't hesitate to reach out, I'd love to hear about your family and see if we're a great fit! 😊

Cynthia was our full time nanny from July 2021 to September 2025, providing sole charge care for our two children, aged two weeks and two years old at the time. From the very beginning, Cynthia brought warmth, reliability, and deep knowledge of child development. From the earliest stages (nappy changes, feeding, sleep routines, and soothing) to supporting milestones such as crawling, walking, talking, and potty training, she has been incredibly hands-on and proactive. Her thoughtful approach ensures that both children feel safe, stimulated, and nurtured at every stage. She was the best at supporting both of our children's development, tailoring her care ot their individual needs and personalities. Whether organising creative indoor play, planning outings to the park or museum, or simply engaging them ni thoughtful conversation and storytelling, Cynthia has always prioritised learning through play and emotional connection. Her approach is structured yet nurturing, and she has an innate ability to set boundaries with kindness and clarity. She has helped our children build healthy routines, supported their motor and sensory development, and encouraged their growing independence with great patience. We especially appreciate how she promotes language development and social skills through age-appropriate activities and meaningful interaction. Beyond childcare, Cynthia also managed light housekeeping duties related to the children, such as keeping their rooms tidy, preparing nutritious meals, organising their belongings, and doing their laundry. Cynthia is a trustworthy, kind, and capable professional who became a truly valued part of our family. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking an experienced, compassionate, and professional nanny. She will be a wonderful asset to any household lucky enough to have her.

Catherine G., Babysitter in Petersburg, NY 12138 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi! I am a recent graduate of Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences and will be beginning medical school later this summer! Babysitting was my first job as a pre-teen and actually began my pursuit of medicine, I find a lot of value in taking care of others! I work as an EMT and have had my license for nearly 5 years. In the past, I have also worked as a lifeguard/swim instructor, and more recently, a Medical Assistant in a Pediatric Primary Care office. I love working with children and am great at meeting them at their level! I am very patient, calm, and love to have fun too! I play both soccer and track at my college so rest assured I can keep up with even the most active kids!

Anya S., Babysitter in Petersburg, NY 12138 with 10 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.

I love watching children because every day is different, and I enjoy seeing them learn, grow, and gain confidence. Being able to support their development, celebrate their milestones, and create a safe, positive environment where they can thrive is incredibly rewarding. Knowing I can make a meaningful impact during such an important stage of their lives is what makes working with children so fulfilling.
