Linda was awesome! She watched my 2 boys (22 months and 5 y/o) for the majority of the day and evening while my husband and I attended a wedding in downtown Buffalo. She was great with communication, we were able to FaceTime ahead of the wedding so my older son could meet her and be comfortable and the day of she sent me message to keep my updated on how they were doing. I would highly recommend Linda! If we are even in Buffalo in the future and need a babysitter we would definitely use her again!

Hello! I am a previous nanny & daycare teacher who has been running an in-home daycare for 6 years now. Since having kids of my own, I have watched multiple other children both full and part time to eventually get my LLC. We have been truly blessed in welcoming little ones into our home as my children have made lasting friendships! I am currently looking for part time to full time sitter position within my home located on the West Seneca/Orchard Park border! Contact me for more information. Looking for a little one to begin Fall of 2023!

Lindsey is amazing! My typically shy little girl just loves her and it’s so relieving to know she is happy and having a great time while I’m away

Keira H., Child Care in Alden, NY 14004 with 2 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Keira I am 20 years old and am currently a university student finishing up freshman year. I have been babysitting for quite some time but have been doing it more seriously for two years. I took a training program a few years back through the YMCA program where I learned CPR and other first aid training. I love kids and have worked with a wide range of ages the youngest being four months and the oldest being 14 years old. Last year I was also an assistant coach for a youth hockey team. Not only do I hope to help you look after your child but also assist you around the home where needed. I tend to follow the parents lead when it comes to communication, house rules, and kinds of activities to do with the child. I am a friendly outgoing person who hopes to help you and your child.

Keira helped me out this summer with my kids and occasional dog sitting needs. She is very personable, prompt, and flexible when it comes to helping out. I would highly recommend her and would use her again without hesitation.

Augusta R., Child Care in Alden, NY 14004 with 15 years of paid experience

I am a mother of three boys with over 10 years of experience supporting children from infancy through school age. I bring a calm, patient, and nurturing presence into every home I enter, with a focus on creating a sense of ease, structure, and trust for both children and parents. My background includes working in an inclusive early childhood classroom that supported both typically developing children and children with special needs, including autism and other developmental differences. In that environment, I helped create a structured and supportive space where all children could learn and feel valued. We also incorporated basic sign language to give children multiple ways to communicate, which strengthened my ability to support different communication styles, emotional needs, and developmental stages with patience and understanding. In addition to my professional experience, I bring personal experience as a mother of children with varying needs, including attention-related challenges, physical limitations, and severe allergies. This has deepened my awareness, adaptability, and commitment to safety, clear communication, and meeting each child where they are. Over time, my work has grown beyond childcare into supporting mothers as well, especially during the postpartum period. I understand how important it is for a mother to feel seen, supported, and able to rest while adjusting to life with a new baby. My approach is simple: I meet families where they are, offering gentle, reliable support that helps create a calm and functional home environment. Whether I am caring for your child, assisting with light household tasks, or giving you space to breathe, my goal is to support your family in a way that feels natural, respectful, and reassuring. I also offer postpartum wellness guidance through my business, Sacred Doula Service, for mothers seeking more intentional support during their transition into motherhood.

*having issues adding a picture to my profile but can send one over messages* Hi, I’m Meghan! I’m a Buffalo native and career caregiver with over 10 years of experience supporting everyone from newborns to seniors. With a background in behavioral health, I bring a unique level of patience and insight to my work, whether we’re navigating big emotions or just having a fun afternoon. I specialize in infant care and overnight soothing (including multiples), but I am equally at home with older children. I’ve cared for families in Atlanta, Seattle, and even Kauai, and now I’m looking for a long-term, full-time role back home where I can truly become an extension of your family. Ask me about my experience with all ages from 0-3 months to 12+ in private home settings, daycares, and residential behavioral health centers!
