Hi there! I am a mom of a 4.5 year old girl, have been nannying and babysitting for the past 3 years full time and I am also a licensed art educator. I have worked with kids of all ages and am 39 years old so I’ve been around a long time and know exactly how to handle any situation that may arise. I am a kid at heart as well and love to engage in play, art making, nature, and general fun :). I have been in many homes and can easily learn the way you and your family and home operate. If I’m nannying, my 4.5 year old can come with me and she makes a great play mate. If I’m babysitting at night she would not be with me. She is in preschool and will be in kindergarten next year so she will be in school during school hours. I am a nature enthusiast and know a lot about plants and animals and I am always down to do crafts! I am passionate about getting to know each child individually and help them thrive. I will follow all of your routines and keep things as seamless as possible. I am kind, compassionate, emotionally intelligent, fun, and practice gentle parenting but have firm boundaries and do not practice permissive parenting. I am fond of turning things into a game or a song to make things go smoothly. I have worked in public school and a nature homeschool program and have worked with babies through high school. I understand being nervous about leaving your child with someone else and can assure you that I’d feel safe and comfortable leaving my daughter in the hands of someone like myself. I have formed deep friendships with the kids and families I have worked with over the years and they would be happy to speak with you if you need a reference! I hope to meet you and your beautiful family some day and to help take care of the most precious person in your life.

Julia Nannied and babysat for our family for a year. She was excellent with our two girls. Our youngest was 2 and our oldest was 5 when Julia started. Our youngest is almost 4 and our oldest almost 7. Julia is highly reliable and responsive always showing up on time and confirming the details in advance. She’s very responsible and extremely fun and creative with our kids and in facilitating and supervising play. She was also flexible willing to adjust times, days, pick up and drop off plans etc to meet our needs. Julia is also a very kind and interesting person and my husband and I always enjoy our time chatting with Julia. I would highly recommend her as a nanny or babysitter!

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.

"As a babysitter, I have provided attentive and nurturing care for children of various ages, ensuring their safety and well-being while engaging them in fun and educational activities. My role involved preparing meals, helping with homework, and creating a structured yet flexible routine to meet each child's needs. At Bright Horizons, I worked as a teacher, where I utilized my CDA certification to develop and implement age-appropriate lesson plans that fostered a love for learning. I focused on creating a supportive and inclusive classroom environment, encouraging children's social, emotional, and cognitive development. My experience at Bright Horizons has equipped me with strong communication and organizational skills, as well as the ability to work effectively with children and their families." “I’m currently working in Bright Horizons at Poughkeepsie as a lead teacher in infant and preschool classroom”

Amira was a pleasure to work with and we would not hesitate to work with her again. We had two evenings of wedding events in Beacon, NY, and Amira took care of our two boys (9 and 7 years old) during this time. When we started looking for a sitter, she was very responsive to all our messages, and helped make the process easy. She completed the background check immediately, and hopped onto a call ahead of time for a quick interview. She arrived on time on both days. It's easy to see that she likes spending time with kids. I recommend her without any hesitation.

Janique helped us out in a pinch and we're so grateful. She is sweet, kind, patient, and most importantly great with our six month old baby boy :) It's always a good sign when you hear a chorus of baby giggles coming the other room. Definitely great vibes and will be working together again soon. Highly recommend reaching out to Janique for any sitting needs.

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.

Kendra is great! She began watching our kids when they were still quite dependent, still diaper changing age. She follows through on your instructions very well and can even handle unexpected instances making good judgment calls. Highly recommend!

I truly love babysitting because I find immense joy in helping children learn, grow, and feel safe and cared for. Each child has their own unique personality and needs, and I love being a part of their daily discoveries and routines. It is a very rewarding experience to build strong, positive bonds with children and their families. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged children. Over the years, I have worked in a preschool setting, and have worked with families both full-time and part-time, providing not only supervision but also engaging in creative play, educational activities, and outdoor fun. I am comfortable managing mealtime, naptime, and bedtime routines, and always focus on creating a warm and welcoming environment. Nowadays, i work as nanny and babysitter around NY. In terms of skills and training, I am CPR and First Aid certified, very organized, patient, and responsible. I also speak Portuguese and English, which can be great for bilingual families! Whether it is for one-on-one meetings or regular weekly help, I am happy to support your family in any way you need. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!
