Why I Love Being a Sitter I’ve always loved caring for children—it comes naturally to me. As a mom of two and a former teacher, I know how important it is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel seen and supported. I genuinely enjoy helping children grow, learn, and explore their unique personalities. Whether we’re reading stories, doing crafts, or just sharing a laugh, I find so much joy in building those special bonds. ⸻ My Experience My childcare journey started early—babysitting as a teen, then working summers as a camp counselor and certified lifeguard. I went on to earn a Master’s in Elementary Education and spent years teaching kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 6th grade. I also led the tennis program at Deer Mountain Day Camp, working with kids of all ages and skill levels. I’ve supported children in all stages of development and feel confident handling routines, schoolwork, playtime, and everything in between. ⸻ My Skills & Training    •   Master’s Degree in Elementary Education    •   Certified Lifeguard (past)    •   CPR & First Aid knowledge    •   Strong classroom management and communication skills    •   Experience with children from infants to pre-teens     I’m patient, attentive, and calm under pressure—qualities that help children feel secure and help parents feel at ease. I’m currently looking for a part-time position that could grow into something more consistent or full-time down the line. I bring warmth, structure, and years of hands-on experience, and I’d love to find a family I can build a lasting relationship with.

Lisa has been a big help with my toddler while I work remotely. She is always readily available and arrives with a big smile. You can tell she truly enjoys teaching through play and caring for children. I know my child is safe and happy when they play together, and that makes me feel great.

Afomia F., Babysitter in Southfields, NY 10975 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi and welcome!! My name is Mia and I am graduate of American University with a BS in Public Health. I not only love, but have ample experience in working with children from various age groups. Most of my experience lies with toddlers as a nanny for high profile clientele, and during my time at Woodlin Child Development Center as a child care aide. Additionally, I've also tutored elementary/middle school age children as a fellow with Teach for America for several years. I am also comfortable with driving, with pets and food and tailored lesson plan preparation if need be. For a long time, I have wanted to pursue pediatrics so I have a great interest and passion for working with children and truly love every experience I get when it comes to educating and spending time with young ones. As for my availability at the moment, I am currently very flexible as I prepare to return to school. Please do reach out if you feel we are a fit! My best contact email is afomiafelleke@gmail.com or text/call at 301-793-7133.

Jayden R., Babysitter in Southfields, NY 10975 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Jayden, and I’m a dedicated childcare professional graduating this spring with my Bachelors of Science in Psychology at Mercy University. I will be attending Seton Hall University for my Masters of Arts in School Counseling, this Fall. I’ve always been passionate about child development, and my academic background in Social & Behavioral Sciences, along with hands-on experience across a range of educational and therapeutic settings, allows me to support children’s unique needs in a nurturing, engaging, and safe environment. Over the years, I’ve worked with children of all ages—from Pre-K through middle school—in a variety of roles. I currently serve as a Teacher’s Aide for children in grades 3-5 in the Scarsdale School District, specifically in a special education ABA setting within a public elementary school, and I also have worked part-time as an ABA Behavioral Technician, where I support children on the autism spectrum with individualized behavior and communication plans. My previous experience includes roles in special education classrooms, after-school childcare programs, day camps, and mental health internship settings. I’m certified in Autism Education, Nonviolent Crisis Intervention, and Pediatric CPR/First Aid through Heartsaver. Whether I’m leading an arts and crafts activity, supporting emotional regulation, or helping with homework and daily routines, I approach every interaction with patience, empathy, and positivity. I’m particularly experienced in working with children who have IEPs or behavior intervention plans, and I believe in building trust with both kids and parents to ensure the best care possible. I bring structure, creativity, and a deep respect for each child’s individuality. If you’re looking for someone reliable, experienced, and genuinely passionate about kids, I’d love to meet your family!

What a pleasure it was meeting Jayden and working with him! He was super communicative/responsive/generous throughout the hiring process, even when I requested an interview and references! He was very responsible (arrived 45 minutes early and stayed an hour late!). We were coming in from out of town for a wedding, and Jayden jumped right into the fray with my infant (5 week old), 2.5 year old and almost four year old. He was there with my parents; sometimes caregivers in this situation do not know how to be helpful and just sit around waiting to be told what to do- not Jayden! He was warm, friendly, took initiative, took suggestions well, and stepped up effortlessly when my kiddos were having trouble following directions. He changed diapers, played well, and helped with meal prep/clean up. We look forward to working with him again soon!
