Portia G., Babysitter in Scotia, NY 12302 with 5 years of paid experience

I’m a childhood education major college student with a genuine passion for caring for kids, bringing three years of babysitting experience with children of all ages, specially infants to 12-year-olds. I’m creative, adaptable, and always ready to bring fun, learning into any home I step into. With a strong background in planning engaging activities, helping with homework, and smoothly adjusting to new routines or environments, I aim to make every child feel safe and supported. I’m also great with pets, can drive to any location, and handle school pickups or drop-offs with ease. If you’re looking for someone who truly enjoys helping kids thrive, I’d love to be that person for your family.

We needed a sitter for a gap week that we had in daycare, and Portia was great. She helped our little one stay engaged with activities all day and her calming presence helped her through the transition. Portia was great with communication and was lovely to have around. I would recommend Portia to anyone needing care.

Gabriella R., Babysitter in Scotia, NY 12302 with 9 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m Gabriella Riccio — 27 years old, a certified Teacher Assistant, and a psychology graduate with a minor in Sociology. I currently work as a Teacher Assistant at an elementary school, where I support students academically and emotionally throughout the day. My background includes over 9 years of experience working with children ages 6 months to 13 years in daycare centers, schools, afterschool programs, summer camps, private tutoring, and babysitting for date nights, overnights, weddings, and even travel nannying. I’m passionate about helping kids learn, grow, and feel supported, whether through creative play, academic help, or just being a steady, caring presence. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, tcis certified (trauma informed care trained), have experience with children with developmental differences, and love helping with homework, tutoring (especially English, history, and elementary math/science), and hands-on enrichment projects. I also bring along a big portfolio of crafts, activities, and learning games that make afterschool time fun and engaging! I’m currently available for: • After-school care and weekend babysitting • School breaks and holidays (winter, spring, and random school closures) • Summer break help (until September 2nd availability changes school begins fully the 8th) • Homework help and tutoring • Date nights, workdays, and overnights • Light housekeeping or cleaning up after children in care, and I am comfortable preparing easy meals • Pet care and walks (I love animals) I have my own vehicle, though it’s not in perfect condition but up to date and inspected I prefer not to do a lot of travel in my own car — it’s still reliable for getting me to and from work, and do have a booster seat available but I’d be more comfortable using a family car for driving children but short distances would be fine. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and dog, playing ukulele, writing poetry, and getting involved in theater and the arts. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and bring positivity, structure, and creativity to your child’s day!

Delaney M., Babysitter in Scotia, NY 12302 with 1 year of paid experience

I have extensive experience caring for children starting when I was only 7 years old watching my younger sister. I have cared for babies as young as one month old and understand a baby’s unique needs. I have also watched older children as old as 12 and my family have welcomed foster children throughout the years. I truly love children. I don’t do it for the money, I do it purely because I know children deserve the best care filled with love and dignity.

Paola  C., Babysitter in Scotia, NY 12302 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Paola, and I’m from Brazil. I have experience as an Au Pair in Saratoga Springs, where I cared for two wonderful girls, aged 3 and 11. Before that, I worked as a kindergarten teacher in a bilingual school in Brazil, teaching subjects like math, English, and science. I truly love working with children and feel that I learn just as much from them as they do from me. I’m patient, creative, responsible, and dedicated, and I always strive to create a fun and safe environment for the kids I care for. I’m also a big animal lover! My previous host family had two dogs, and I absolutely adored spending time with them. In my free time, I enjoy exploring new activities with children, planning educational and creative games, and helping them grow while having fun. I would love the opportunity to help your family, bringing enthusiasm, care, and positivity!
