Barbara M., Babysitter in South Cairo, NY 12482 with 10 years of paid experience

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.

Barbara has been an exceptional babysitter for our 13-month-old. She is incredibly easy to work with, professional, responsive, and a natural caregiver. What stands out most is her intuition—she knows how to read and respond to our child's cues, especially when things don't go according to plan. We have complete trust in Barbara and always feel comfortable knowing our child is in her care. She is dependable, attentive, and genuinely invested in providing the best care possible. We highly recommend Barbara to any family looking for a skilled, trustworthy, and compassionate caregiver.

Maya M., Babysitter in South Cairo, NY 12482 with 2 years of paid experience

Hello! I’m Maya, and I have a genuine passion for working with children and creating a safe, positive environment where they can learn, laugh and thrive. I have several years of childcare experience, including two years as an instructor at a well known developmental gymnastics center, where I’ve worked with children of all ages to support their physical, social, and emotional development through play based learning. Before that, I spent multiple summers assisting with children’s events throughout my community, giving me experience with a wide variety of ages, personalities and individual needs. I am also a Developmental Psychology student at University at Albany, where I study how children grow, learn, and develop throughout each stage of life. My education allows me to better understand each child’s unique cognitive and developmental needs, helping me adapt my approach so every child feels supported, seen and encouraged! As a sitter, my goal is to create a fun, engaging and safe environment where your child can be their purest self! I also have 5 years of driving experience with a clean driving record and would be happy to provide transportation as needed! I know how important it is to leave your child with someone you can trust! I look forward to meeting your family!☺️

Christa K., Babysitter in South Cairo, NY 12482 with 10 years of paid experience

My name is Christa and I love working with children. I always knew I wanted to work with young children as I was growing up with a large family. Now, I am blessed with two daughters, ages 5 years and 16 months. I recently graduated with my associates degree in early childhood education and also have my NYS teachers assistant certification. Upon graduating, I got a job in a daycare as an assistant infant teacher and was promoted to the lead preschool teacher within a few months. I am a substitute at the Catskill Elementary School so I am looking for a summer babysitting job now that school is out. I am comfortable taking care of children from newborn age and up. I am certified in CPR and first aid. I know how important it is to find a caring, nurturing and trustworthy person to take care of your children as that is what I would want for my own. I am that Person! I enjoy crafts, outdoor time, books, songs, games and anything to do with imagination.
