Hi! I'm Montana (they/them). I started babysitting when I was very young and have worked with kids of all ages for over 15 years now, including newborns and toddlers. Spending time, making friends, and learning with babies and kids may be one of the things that gives me deep fulfillment. I’ve spent the last year nannying for a baby from 5 months to 20 months and it’s been such a fun and profound experience getting to support and explore this world with him as he grows into the incredibly smart, sweet, silly, inquisitive person he’s becoming. I love creating space that’s safe, attuned, consent-centered, creative, and fun to play and learn in. I do laundry, clean, cook, run errands, homework help, and go on outings. Besides working with kids I’m also a trained consent-educator, as well as a Massage Therapist and Craniosacral Therapist. I’m needing a bit more flexibility in my schedule as I build these practices but do want to keep kiddos & babes in life and would love to support your family!

I cannot recommend Montana enough! Montana worked for my family as a nanny starting in May 2022 until May 2026 (when they moved from Los Angeles to New York City). They started watching our first child at 5 months old. I was incredibly nervous at the time about letting someone watch him outside of my husband and I, but that all melted away with Montana’s calm, grounded presence and expert childcare skills. They easily adapted to his shifting schedule, cared for him, playing, reading, diapering, handling naps and feeding, and as he got older, going on outings to the playground using the car and carseat. He had severe food allergies and Montana was incredibly responsible in keeping him safe and helping with food prep. Montana also helped around the house with cooking, laundry, and other light housekeeping (always much appreciated). Communication with Montana was always good and clear, and they easily took feedback. Also they were proactive in helping solve issues as they came up (like baby going through sleep regressions, and as he got older, the challenges of toddlerhood), and was always reliable and impressively punctual. When our 2nd child was born in November 2024, Montana would watch both kids and I was always impressed at their calm demeanor as they balanced the two of them. I recommend Montana wholeheartedly and feel very lucky they're in our lives, and can confidently say any family would benefit from their nannying!

Hello parents!! My name is Diana and I’m 23 years old. I have been in the child care field for quite some time. I have worked with a toddler for about 2 years until earning my nursing degree. After I recieved my nursing degree I started my amazing job in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit working with premature infants and infants up to 8 month old! I worked there for approximately 3 years and loved every minute of it! A little more about myself, I am trilingual, speaking English, Ukrainian and Russian fluently. I am CPR and BLS certified as well as holding my RN degree. I am a non smoker. I absolutely adore infants and children and working with them! I would consider myself to be an outgoing, patient, caring, trustworthy and nature loving person! I love to challenge young minds and make them use their full imagination during play! I love to draw and sing and I am the director of a children’s choir at my church! Feel free to ask me any questions you may have! Thank you for your time!

Diana is an absolute gem! We couldn't have found someone more caring, compassionate, and considerate to be with our baby. Our son is only 2.5 months, and Diana is exceptionally warm, attentive, and loving with him. We are so grateful to have Diana with us.

Caring for little ones has always been my passion! I have 7 years of childcare experience, working with children from infants through age 6. I currently work in daycare and have previous experience nannying three children, as well as two children under two. I’m experienced in meal prep, potty training, diapers, bedtime routines, crafts, learning activities, and homeschooling. I love keeping kids active with fun, age-appropriate activities, including trips to parks, libraries, and museums. I am CPR, First Aid, Medication, and EpiPen certified, with additional training in early childhood development. I’m currently looking to return to providing personalized childcare and am available full time weekday care along with weeknight and weekend babysitting. I truly love building meaningful relationships with children and treating every little one with the same care and attention I would give my own.References are available upon request! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

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!

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!
