Find experienced child care providers in Chatham, NY

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.

Hi! I'm Cadence, and I'm a student at Pace University studying early childhood/childhood education. With four years of nannying experience, I've had the pleasure of working with both special needs and neurotypical children, as well as in an after-school program for a special needs school. I'm passionate about creating engaging, fun, and educational experiences for kids, and I love spending time outdoors-keeping up with their energy is one of my favorite parts of the job! This summer, I'll be living in NYC and am looking for a full-time nannying job once my college classes end in May. If you think this could be a good fit, message me and we can set up an interview. I'm happy to provide references upon request. Looking forward to connecting with you!
