Kristen P., Babysitter in Poestenkill, NY 12140 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!

Anya S., Babysitter in Poestenkill, NY 12140 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.

Melissa C., Babysitter in Poestenkill, NY 12140 with 30 years of paid experience

My name is Melissa and I have over 30 years experience caring for children of all ages (newborn - 14 years). I have had the privilege to care for children in private homes as well as in daycare and after school settings. I truly enjoy creating fun and creative activities that encourage individuality and imagination. I am also a licensed veterinary technician in several states and have been first aid, CPR, and MAT certified. I do not have a background check on here since I am licensed in NYS. This allows you to look me up on the NYS Office of Professions which is updated regularly and will show any misconduct or criminal activities if I were to have them. I currently have the pleasure of helping to care for my 1yr old grandson and my 2yr old autistic nephew.

Laura S., Babysitter in Poestenkill, NY 12140 with 16 years of paid experience

Hi parents! I'm Laura, and early childhood education has been my passion since I was 16! That's when I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to working with children. It all started with babysitting for my next-door neighbor, which led to volunteering in schools and spending more time around children throughout high school. In college, I gained invaluable experience observing classrooms, creating lesson plans, and learning from my mistakes under the guidance of experienceteachers. In my early 20s, I began my journey as a nanny, and it was then that I truly discovered the joy and fulfillment of being a caregiver. I love helping parents simplify their lives, seeing children happy and engaged, and creating successful, joyful days. Being around children, seeing their smiles, and engaging in creative activities brings me immense satisfaction! I'm reliable, have my own transportation, and especially love doing arts and crafts with kids. I'm excited to connect with families who are looking for a caring and dedicated individual.
