Barbara M., Child Care in Chatham, NY 12037 with 10 years of paid experience

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.

Roxanne H., Child Care in Chatham, NY 12037 with 2 years of paid experience

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!

Carolyn O., Child Care in Chatham, NY 12037 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Cat, and I am a Brooklyn native now living in Hudson, New York. I have been babysitting since my early teenage years, starting with neighbors and family friends and continuing throughout college. From a young age, I discovered an undeniable passion for working with children and babies, and that love has stayed with me throughout my career. I am currently working as a Licensed Massage Therapist and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. My education and professional experience have given me a strong understanding of child development, communication, and providing compassionate care. I absolutely love what I do, but I have always maintained a special place in my heart for childcare. My experience includes caring for children as young as 5 months through 10 years old, although I am comfortable caring for children of any age. I am nurturing, patient, responsible, and truly enjoy creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for the children in my care.

Michaela T., Child Care in Chatham, NY 12037 with 12 years of paid experience

I’ve been working with children for over 10 years, and childcare has always been something I genuinely love. I have experience with children of all ages, from newborns and infants through school age, and I especially enjoy the baby and toddler years. I’m a very hands-on caregiver and love keeping kids busy with age-appropriate activities, crafts, reading, outdoor play, walks, playground trips, library visits, and little adventures. I also understand how important consistency is for young children and am comfortable following established routines for meals, naps, bottles, diapering, and bedtime. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a non-smoker, have reliable transportation, and am comfortable with pets. I’m patient, dependable, organized, and always prioritize creating an environment where children feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m currently looking to connect with families who want someone experienced, reliable, and genuinely invested in their children. I’d love to learn more about your family and what you’re looking for!
