Hello, thank you for taking a moment to read my profile: I’m a Mom and longtime professional Chef (CIA Grad) that is an empty nester with my son just having graduated college and is already working in NYC. This new phase in my family-life gives me the opportunity to slow my hectic chef-work pace down. As an entrepreneur I continue to take on the occasional “gig” but am leaning towards exiting the long commutes that coincide with my NYC clients. My culinary profession has given me extensive experience in food related work particularly with clients in their homes. I am well versed in being very mindful and respectful of their confidential/private spaces. As a single Mom to my now 24 year-old son, I am used to the challenges that came/come with juggling between schedules, drop-offs/pickups, snack/meal-prep, errands and work etc. As a Longtime local resident yet born & raised in NYC, I have the advantage of navigating both settings. “A country mile is like walking a city block”…driving numerous times a day is just part of raising a family in a rural setting. I am very comfortable with pets as we are a family with several rescues. I am a non-smoker, well versed with healthier food choices (preferably non-processed for kids) am patient and quite understanding but will say “No” if the circumstance call’s for it and will check in with the parents. I prefer limited or no screen time under my care. My cell phone will always be on but I will not be scrolling. My reputation in general is of stability, honesty and reliability. I am currently working flexible afternoons with a wonderful local family Mon-Thurs. However if you need an occasional or regular sitter 9AM-3PM weekdays or full Fridays even Weekends, perhaps I can be of help to your family, Sincerely Kersti

K. provides regular care for our two children, a toddler and an elementary-age child. She is punctual, reliable, and always has their best interests in mind. I know my kids are in good hands when they are in her care. She often preps dinner for them, helps keep the kitchen tidy, and occasionally puts our toddler down for a nap or bedtime. She's a caring individual who's invested in our kids' well-being and needs.

My name is Maeve, I'm 28 years old, and I'm trying to find flexible part-time work as a babysitter. I volunteered to tutor elementary school students throughout my 4 years in undergrad, so I'm more than happy to help with homework. I am also experienced in caring for children with special needs after working at summer camp for kids with developmental disabilities. I am also a certified EMT, so your children are in safe hands in the event of an emergency. I can't wait to meet your family!

Maeve has watched our two year old a number of times over the past few months. She is outstanding; he looks forward to her coming over, has a great time, and ends the day tired out because he has been so engaged. Could not recommend her more highly.

I am available for a part time position, early evening/week nights and any time on the weekends. I am a mother of two children, who are now done with college. I enjoy being a mom and helping other families who need a caring and responsible person to care for their children. I have over 35 years experience caring for families with infants, toddlers and school aged children. It is a pleasure to reassure parents that their children are well taken care of and are having fun. Please see my reviews and references available upon request.

We love having Isa watch our almost 5yo and almost 1yo boys. She’s great with both of them, and very good at giving the older one the attention he needs while of course focusing on keeping the 1yo safe and happy!

Hi! My name is Rachel and I am a very friendly, warm, and fun person. I love kids and have had 5 years of experience with all different ages- some with special needs. I have had experience with infants all the way up to 9 years of age! I truly love them all and I love their curiosity. I love pets, have my own car, do not smoke, would love to entertain your kids, help with homework, run errands, go grocery shopping, and keep up with some light housekeeping. I am very responsible, dependable, and organized. Looking forward to meeting you :)

Margaret provided stellar care for our two daughters (age 3 and 1) and friends’ little ones (age 3 and 2) during a recent visit to the area. She was incredibly kind and gentle with the kids who immediately warmed up to her. My oldest is still talking about how much she liked Margaret, which is not a common babysitter experience for us! She was very communicative, showed up early, and made us feel totally at ease about leaving the kids with her. I’ve already recommended her to some local friends.

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!☺️

When you start sitting from a young age, you learn a few things down the road. 9 years later, I've learned that what I love about sitting is the bond created with the families I've sat for. Not to mention, watching the children grow into beautiful, smart, and gifted human beings. It is truly a privilege to be entrusted with the opportunity to support the development and success of the child/children in my care. I have worked with children ages two to as old as sixteen. I love to create less screen time activities! Allowing children to grow in their own creativity. I currently work at a preschool as a teachers assistant! Please feel free to contact me with any questions. We can discuss availability together!
