Jackie S., Babysitter in West Haverstraw, NY 10993 with 17 years of paid experience

Hello Families, I'm Jackie. I have over 10 years of experience working in child care, and as a performing arts teacher. I grew up the oldest of three, with a neuro-typical brother and non-verbal, autistic sister. Growing up in this family structure led me into a natural care-giving path that I've been on for all of my adult life alongside my professional acting career. Since moving to New York City in 2010, I have worked for many different families. Some for one-night, some for two years. My experience ranges from 3 weeks to 13 years old. In my view, my job as a child care provider is to keep children safe and act as a team-mate alongside their grown-ups to provide loving care and support to their little ones. I'm very much a-nanny who gets on the ground and plays with the kiddos-kind of gal and would love to meet yours and see if we'd be a good fit. *Note: I am currently seeking full time hours, paid legally, on the books. I am happy to work with whichever payroll service you'd like to work with Some Relevant Experience: Part Time Nanny Girl 3.5, Boy 9 Brooklyn, NY 11/17 - 01/20 Part Time Babysitter Boy age 2, Girl Age 4 Brooklyn, NY 01/18 - 03/20 Occasional Babysitter All Ages: While it existed: Chime, by Sittercity Brooklyn and Manhattan, NY 08/13 - 05/19 Camp Counselor/Head of Performing Arts Aloha Hive Camp for girls 7-12 Fairlee, VT 06/05 - 08/19 *References available upon request after communication.

Phuong L., Babysitter in West Haverstraw, NY 10993 with 3 years of paid experience

My name is Lam, and I have 4 years of experience caring for toddlers and preschoolers. Currently, I’m working part-time with a toddler—helping with diaper and clothing changes, prepping breakfast and lunch, school drop-off, and picking up for after-school activities like library visits and playground time. Employment History: • 2012–2013: Full-time nanny for a family with a 2- and a 4-year-old. • Summer 2012: Teaching assistant for JHU-CTY summer school in Chestertown, MD. • August 2011 – June 2012: Nanny for an 8-month-old baby boy in Canton. • Summer 2006: Helped my brother care for his three children (an infant, a toddler, and a preschooler). I also provided childcare during Sunday services at the First Presbyterian Church. Education: I earned my Master’s degree in Science. Certifications & Qualifications: I am CPR and First Aid certified, have a clean driving record, and have completed both Basic and Advanced background checks. References from my current employer are available upon request. About Me: I love my job and always try my best to connect with children through fun and educational activities—such as critical thinking games and craft projects. Discipline Philosophy: I follow a gentle and respectful approach, using three steps: 1. Kind words 2. Quiet time-outs to help the child calm down 3. Encouraging the use of manners (excuse me, sorry, please, thank you, and you’re welcome) My goal is to support children in developing strong, independent, and kind personalities, helping them understand what they want and how to go after it.

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.
