My name is Samantha, My childcare experience includes almost 20 years of babysitting for children from newborns to teens, full time nannying, vacation nannying and babysitting, 2 years as a pre-k assistant teacher working with 4 and 5 yr olds, 2+ years of daycare experience working with primarily the young infants, 4 weeks to 1 year, and experience as a nanny with up to 3 children. I have experience with twins and larger families, and physical and mental disabilities. In addition I have been a certified nursing assistant since 2017, and am comfortable and trained in administration of CPR, first aid, Heimlich, can handle children with complex medical/emotional/social needs. I also have one 10 month old baby girl of my own. I genuinely love working with children, and find that as much as I try to teach them, and help them discover new things, it is usually they who teach me. I am easy going, hardworking, and easy to get along with. I am very confident in my ability to care for children and create a safe/educational and supportive space for them. I enjoy doing crafts/cooking/playing games/ reading, depending on the parents comfort level I also love taking them for walks, trips to the park or other small day trips when possible. I am happy to offer advice or ideas/suggestions, and to proactively come up with solutions to problems, but following and adhering to the rules and procedures and schedules that you have for your children and home are my main priority. I am currently looking for a position or positions where I can take my daughter with me. (I would have backup childcare for days when she is sick or has appointments). I am looking for a minimum of 15 hours a week, all the way up to full time hours. I have a reliable vehicle and am comfortable driving children. I have had background and driving checks run through Sittercity, and would welcome outside background checks if you would so wish.

Caitlyn was a pleasure to work with! She watched our infant at a family wedding. She was extremely caring and provided a calm environment amidst the excitement of a family celebration. She was flexible and so helpful.

We love Rebecca! We have used her for over a year now and couldn't be happier! She is great with both our toddler daughter and now almost 1 year old son. We feel very comfortable leaving them with her even when they are sick... she has administered medicine and given nebulizer treatments to our young son. She is reliable, responsible, and a very caring babysitter... Rebecca is great!

We had a wonderful experience working with Karen. She responded quickly to our listing, and from the moment we connected, we felt completely comfortable leaving our one year old daughter in her care. Karen babysat for us while we attended a wedding and seamlessly handled playtime, dinner, bottles, and bedtime. She checked in with us beforehand to make sure she had all the details she needed, and she sent thoughtful updates throughout the night. Karen is a confident, caring, and truly lovely caregiver. We highly recommend working with her!

Hello families, my name is Erin and I have been a caregiver for 10 years. I am 27 years old and I will ensure that your children are receiving the same love and attention as if they were my own. I am a NY certified social studies teacher who also has a masters degree in teaching English to non- native English Speakers. (ENL) As a mother myself of one energetic 11 year old, I understand the kind of care we want for our children. I do have my own form of childcare so this would not become an issue. As a nanny who is proficient in understanding the emotional needs of children, I know how crucial it is to be dependable, attentive, and nurturing! I have cared for newborns all the way to pre-teens! Past responsibilities included errands, meal preparation, chores, pick-up/drop off from after school activities, etc. As a nanny, I am very open-minded and understand that all children require their own form of unique accommodations as well as families. Fun fact: My daughter and I compete in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu together:)

Hello! My name is Kathy. Having raised three children of my own, I understand firsthand what it truly takes to nurture, guide, and show up for a child day after day. With 10 years experience as a classroom teacher, I know how to connect with children of all ages and meet them where they are. Whether that means helping with homework or reading bedtime a story. As a certified nutrition and health coach, I put the same care into mealtimes that I bring to everything else — so your children will eat well and actually enjoy what's on their plate. I'm also CPR and first aid certified, giving you an extra layer of confidence that your little ones are in capable hands. I'm glad to help with light housekeeping to keep things running smoothly while you're away, and as an animal lover myself, I'm completely comfortable around pets of all kinds. My goal is simply to make your life a little easier and give you the peace of mind you deserve.

Emily was absolutely amazing with my daughter! From the very beginning, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly professional. She made my child feel comfortable and safe, and it was clear that she genuinely cares about the children she works with. Emily is responsible, patient, and very engaging. She kept my daughter entertained with fun and educational activities, and I could tell my daughter truly enjoyed spending time with her. Communication was excellent, and she always kept me updated, which gave me great peace of mind. I fully trust Emily and would recommend her to any family looking for a reliable and loving babysitter. We will definitely be using her again!
