Find experienced child care providers in Canastota, NY

⸻ I have always loved working with children because of the joy and energy they bring into each day. Being a sitter allows me to build meaningful bonds with families while supporting children’s growth, creativity, and daily routines. Over the years, I have gained hands-on experience with children of different ages, from toddlers to elementary school students. I have worked as an afterschool babysitter and nanny for private families, caring for children as young as 2 years old and as old as 9. In these roles, I provided safe transportation, supervised playtime, helped with evening routines, and created engaging activities to keep kids learning and having fun. In addition to in-home childcare, I currently work as a paraprofessional in a pre-K classroom, where I support students’ academic and social development. I also have experience as a literacy instructor, helping children strengthen their reading and vocabulary skills. Families can rely on me to be patient, reliable, and energetic. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, comfortable driving in NYC, and skilled in creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where children can thrive.

Hi, my name is Jordan Bulger! I am 23 years old. I have been a babysitter since I was 13 years old starting with my cousins. I grew up with the nickname, baby whisperer. At the age of 16 I started working for school-age childcare at the YMCA until the age of 20. During that time I also did the YMCA summer camp two years in a row. For the past three years, I have been a nanny for two families and also have been doing babysitting jobs on the side with other families as well. I have a degree in forensic psychology and counseling. From the degree it gave me the skills of learning how to work with different age groups on an emotional level. Learning how to diffuse situations and to validate the feelings of children. I am extremely organized and I love to clean. I do have a car so if travel is necessary I am more than happy to do that. I’m perfectly comfortable with animals. I have plenty of experience working with different age groups starting at new borns to 12 years of age due to working at the YMCA and also with all the different families that I’ve worked for through the years through babysitting and nannying. I make it a priority to create a safe space for children and also create a healthy relationship with the parents I work for so that they know that their child is in the best care possible.

I am reliable, trustworthy, hardworking, friendly and caring. If you are looking for a suitable person I am willing to help you with your children, you won’t be disappointed.
