Find experienced babysitters in Philmont, NY

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.

I'm a mom myself and a full-time teaching assistant. I’ve experienced the issues with childcare firsthand and I’m happy to help whether it be for date nights, or a little extra help on the weekends. I try to keep my availability on here as up-to-date as possible. Due to my job, I have open availability on school breaks. I have experience babysitting children of all ages and have 12 years of experience working with individuals with developmental disabilities/behavioral problems. I love to watch children learn, and would be great homework help after school. I prefer to engage children the same way I was as a child such as by playing games and sports, building forts, or getting outside & enjoying nature. I enjoy cooking and baking, and arts & crafts. I have no issue completing household chores (and it's not something you will need to even ask me to do!) and running errands as needed. If I seem like a good fit for your family, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Hi! My name is Rebecca and I have been in the childcare field for over 10 years. I have cared for large groups of children, one on one, twins, and children with mild autism and speech delays. When I'm not working, I like to cook, read, write, knit, and spend time with my family and animals. Relevant experience where I also cared for children were... I have worked in morning childcare (daycare setting) with multiple children (ages 0-3y) for over 10 years. During that time period I also was a sitter for several different families. Currently, I am a Mother's helper, caring for a 3yo while Mom works from home. Activities I enjoy doing with children... Reading, singing, puzzles, crafts, cooking, playing, coloring, and outside time.

I’ve always loved helping families and being someone they can depend on. Whether it’s keeping things tidy, organized, or just creating a calm, comfortable space, I take pride in making daily life a little easier. I have experience caring for homes and helping with housekeeping, organizing, and daily routines. I’m reliable, understanding, and great with time management — I like to get things done while keeping a positive, friendly attitude. My goal is always to make families feel supported and comfortable knowing their home is in good hands.

I'm an Occupational Therapist with 18 years of experience working in Early Intervention (children from infancy through 3rd birthday) and 6 years with preschool aged children (3-5 years).

I am dedicated to helping nurture the next generation. Connecting to the land is essential for children learning to ground and regulate as well as to feel joy, safety, and centeredness in their bodies. My bachelor’s degree is in Environmental Education, and I have worked in a variety of related professional settings from residential outdoor education programs to state parks to sustainable farming camps. I hold my Permaculture Design Certificate and am currently training as a clinical herbalist. I enjoy organic gardening and foraging as well as cooking and food preservation. I love to get kids involved with these skills and to help them live into a rhythm of seasonality. Not only fun, these activities are also a way to introduce important ecological and natural history concepts. I personally support outdoor free play whenever it’s safe and feasible, even (especially!) in the wintertime. I encourage kids in developing autonomy along with body and emotional awareness. I also promote creative expression through the use of natural and recycled materials in artistry and craft. I am primarily a stay-at-home-mother, so depending on scheduling, my three-and-a-half-year-old son may come along with me for babysitting.
