I truly love being a nanny and sitter because caring for children has always been a natural part of who I am. I find joy in creating a safe, nurturing environment where kids can grow, explore, and feel supported. Every child is unique, and I value the chance to bring out their creativity, confidence, and curiosity through play, learning, and consistency. I have decades of hands-on experience raising my own children as well as working with families in the U.S. and abroad. Over the years, I have cared for children of all ages from newborns and toddlers to school aged kids and teens with an emphasis on patience, positive communication, and encouragement. I understand the balance between structure and fun, and I know how to adapt to each family’s needs.

Barbara has been an exceptional babysitter for our 13-month-old. She is incredibly easy to work with, professional, responsive, and a natural caregiver. What stands out most is her intuition—she knows how to read and respond to our child's cues, especially when things don't go according to plan. We have complete trust in Barbara and always feel comfortable knowing our child is in her care. She is dependable, attentive, and genuinely invested in providing the best care possible. We highly recommend Barbara to any family looking for a skilled, trustworthy, and compassionate caregiver.

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 :)

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 with a wonderful local family weekdays so they are my first priority. However, if an occasional weekend sitter is needed, perhaps I can be of help to your family. Sincerely K.

My name is Christa and I love working with children. I always knew I wanted to work with young children as I was growing up with a large family. Now, I am blessed with two daughters, ages 5 years and 16 months. I recently graduated with my associates degree in early childhood education and also have my NYS teachers assistant certification. Upon graduating, I got a job in a daycare as an assistant infant teacher and was promoted to the lead preschool teacher within a few months. I am a substitute at the Catskill Elementary School so I am looking for a summer babysitting job now that school is out. I am comfortable taking care of children from newborn age and up. I am certified in CPR and first aid. I know how important it is to find a caring, nurturing and trustworthy person to take care of your children as that is what I would want for my own. I am that Person! I enjoy crafts, outdoor time, books, songs, games and anything to do with imagination.

I’m a 21-year-old Human Development major at UAlbany with extensive experience in childcare and a passion for working with children. I’ve had hands-on experience looking after kids of various ages, from babysitting my younger cousins to working in daycare settings and interning as a kindergarten teacher in San Francisco. I’ve also completed child development courses, which have given me a strong understanding of children’s cognitive, physical, and social growth. I enjoy creating fun, age-appropriate activities to keep kids engaged and help them develop new skills, and I’m experienced in establishing structured, comforting routines, especially after school. Whether it’s homework assistance, creative play, or quiet time, I’ll ensure your children have a balanced, fulfilling experience. I’m also experienced with children on the autism spectrum, so I’m attentive to individual needs and can adapt routines and activities accordingly. I’m responsible, dependable, and excited to make a positive impact on your family!
