Catherine has been working with us for almost a year watching my 16 month old daughter while I work from home. She is extremely reliable and has helped our family tremendously. My daughter is happy to see her when she arrives and I am confident she is getting quality care. Catherine has experience with children in the infant/toddler range and always informs me of updates throughout the day and keeps my little one on schedule. She genuinely seems to enjoy working with kids, engaging in playtime and taking my daughter to activities. She has even taken care of our dog while we've been away. Overall I would recommend her to anyone looking for care for their children.

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.

I am caring, trustworthy, very reliable, very responsible and most of all.... experienced with children. I give 110% of my attention to the children I care for.

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!

This was my first time using a babysitter, so I was naturally a little nervous. Cathy made me feel comfortable and reassured me throughout the experience. I really appreciated her kindness and how she helped ease my worries. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend her to other families. I would happily book with Cathy again!

Hi I’m Sophia! I’m a grad student currently attending SBU to get my MBA! I just graduated in 2025 with a Bachelors of Science in Business and Psychology. I am American Red Cross CPR/AED/First Aid certified for Infants, Children, and Adults. I’ve had 5 years paid experience in childcare starting as a mother’s helper, to babysitter, to nanny. Over the past 5 years I’ve worked with several different families. I started working at my university’s child care Infant-Toddler Room in January 2022 in which I assist with taking care of 15 children ranging from 3 months to 3 years old! Through the daycare, I have acquired several different types of skills through mandated trainings, like allergy awareness and safe sleep. I have travel nanny experience with two different families caring for their infants (6mo and 8mo). I also have a handful of families that I occasionally babysit for! I'm very creative and passionate about art, I love to think out of the box and come up with new crafts and developmentally appropriate activities! I love letting the kids express their creativity through play, music, and art!

Hi! I’m Caitlin, and I absolutely love working with children and helping them learn, grow, and feel confident. I’ve been babysitting for over 10 years and have been working as a teacher for the past 3 years. I’ve had experience as a lead teacher with toddlers ages 2–3 and children ages 3–4, and I currently work with preschoolers. I’m patient, caring, responsible, and always try to create a fun, safe, and positive environment where children can be themselves. I’d love the opportunity to care for your little ones and give them the same attention and kindness I would want for my own family. I currently have an active heart saver cpr/aed certification for adults and pediatric and training in asthma care along with various certifications taken for my work.

Caitlin is such a doll and she is fantastic with my kids. I have a boy and a girl 2 & 3 years old. My boy was having trouble potty training and Caitlin did such a good job with him, only took him about a month to get it down. Overall my kids love her and they can’t wait to see her whenever she comes around.

Experienced, reliable babysitter and nanny available to help your family part-time Hello, dear families! My name is Maria, and I am a dedicated nanny with a decade and a half of professional experience in child care, alongside the personal experience of raising a wonderful daughter of my own. My journey with children has not only been a job but a passion that has grown with every year I’ve spent nurturing young minds. I am currently seeking a part-time position and am available to bring my caring nature and expertise to your home on Monday to Friday 6 to 8:30 a.m. and evenings Monday to Thursday 4:30 to 7 p.m. Weekends also available .My schedule is crafted to align with the academic calendar, as I’ve been with a wonderful family for a decade and continue to work with them. However, now that the children are in school, I have additional hours and an abundance of care to extend to another fantastic family. My approach is always thoughtful and centered around the unique needs of each child I look after. I pride myself on being reliable—a trait that has been paramount in maintaining a decade-long relationship with a single family—and hardworking, always willing to go that extra mile to ensure a stable, positive environment for the children in my care. My experience spans caring for children of all ages, from the delightful curiosity of toddlers to the fascinating thoughts of teenagers. I deeply understand the varying needs at different developmental stages, and I’m adept at engaging children in a mix of educational and recreational activities. I can cook, drive, do laundry, run errands – anything you need, no task too big or small. I am looking forward to the opportunity to care for your children, providing them not just with supervision, but with a nurturing, fun environment where they can thrive, learn, and feel at ease. Please feel free to contact me for any more information or to discuss how I can be a part of your family’s journey.

Maria is one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. She has been with my family for about a year and a half now. She gets my kids off the bus at around 3 and watches them until I get home (4-5 days/week), generally around 7. She is more than willing to help you out, with whatever you need. When asked to do something in particular, her pat answer is "no problem". She is a a great driver and VERY responsible. She has not once left me shorthanded and has helped me out on NUMEROUS occasions when I was in a jam. For example, she even slept over when night when my husband and I went away! Her help around the house, wonderful can do attitude, responsibility, and understanding of children is a home run. My kids are getting older so I do not need help with the kids as much as I did. Maria is a treasure and I have come to think of her as a good friend. I am going to miss all of her help! If you are unsure, give her a chance - you will not be sorry.
