Kristen P., Babysitter in Selkirk, NY 12158 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!

Kristen is fantastic with my children! She is super sweet, keeps the kids fully entertained, and was able to pick right up on my kids routines with just a quick explanation. We utilize her services on a weekly basis and my oldest counts down the sleeps until she comes back again. She’s great!

Norine was wonderful with my 5 children and they all had great things to say about her. We felt very comfortable leaving our children in her care and hope to work with her again. She has great communication and understanding, patient and kind and able to keep them focused. They especially loved her cooking..which is great since I don't regularly cook. :)

Makayla D., Babysitter in Selkirk, NY 12158 with 2 years of paid experience

I just moved here last year from Cleveland OH, I am going to be a junior in college but doing it remotely. I have very flexible hours and I am very good at communicating with parents. Since I was a young girl, I have always been babysitting/care taking for my neighbors, cousins, siblings and more. In Ohio I was a nanny for 2.5 years for 3 children. I was able to take them to any places, appointments, practices, and more that they needed to be at. I also had to cook meals, prepare snacks, help with homework and more. I loved taking the kids I took care of to the park, on walks, or really anything that they wanted to do. Since being in NY I was the Nanny for a family with a 5 and 7 year old. As well as a Nanny for a family with a 6 month old. I am CPR certified and I am studying to be a Physical Therapist at the time. Id love to meet in person or over the phone to discuss more and of course meet you and your child.

Portia G., Babysitter in Selkirk, NY 12158 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.

Our 2 kids loved Portia, she was very friendly. She bonded with our oldest by playing video games. Our youngest enjoyed cuddling and hanging around. 10/10 recommend. We will use her services again. Thank you!!

Melissa C., Babysitter in Selkirk, NY 12158 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.

Cadence M., Babysitter in Selkirk, NY 12158 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm Cadence, and I'm a student at Pace University studying early childhood/childhood education. With four years of nannying experience, I've had the pleasure of working with both special needs and neurotypical children, as well as in an after-school program for a special needs school. I'm passionate about creating engaging, fun, and educational experiences for kids, and I love spending time outdoors-keeping up with their energy is one of my favorite parts of the job! This summer, I'll be living in NYC and am looking for a full-time nannying job once my college classes end in May. If you think this could be a good fit, message me and we can set up an interview. I'm happy to provide references upon request. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Sayon L., Babysitter in Selkirk, NY 12158 with 7 years of paid experience

I would be a great babysitter because I have years of hands-on experience caring for my siblings since they were born. That experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to handle children of different ages with confidence and care. I’m comfortable managing routines, helping with homework, preparing meals, and making sure kids feel safe and supported. I also have my own transportation, so I’m able to drive children to school, activities, or fun outings like the park or library. I love being active and creative, and I’m willing to plan engaging activities to keep kids entertained. I can “act like a kid” when it’s time to play, which helps me connect with children, but I also know when to be responsible and maintain structure. In addition, I can cook and clean, which allows me to support parents by keeping the home tidy and preparing simple, healthy meals. Overall, I am dependable, fun, nurturing, and helpful someone both kids and parents can trust.
