Hello! My name is Lilly and I'm a senior from the University of Rochester graduating in May 2022. I have extensive childcare experience both in a home and day care setting. I have worked at a daycare as an aftercare monitor and teacher's helper or substitute. I am energetic, patient and caring. I have cared for children ages 6 months to 15 years and feel comfortable with any age. I believe it is important to help children work through their developing emotions with kindness and empathy. I have experience caring for children with special needs, as I have a younger sister who is autistic.

Hi, I'm Leighanna. I have worked as a childcare worker/nanny/babysitter for 11+ years and absolutely loved it! I have my own transportation. and I’m also comfortable around animals. Please feel free to message me with any questions. (Due to the fact that I help care for an elderly family member, I *do not* provide sick care)

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.

I am dedicated to helping nurture the next generation of humans. Connecting to the land is essential for children learning to ground and regulate as well as to feel the sensations of joy, safety, and centeredness. My bachelor’s degree is in Environmental Education, and I have worked in a variety of related professional settings from residential outdoor education programs to state parks to sustainable farming camps. I hold my Permaculture Design Certificate and am currently training as a clinical herbalist. I enjoy organic gardening and foraging as well as cooking and food preservation. I love to get kids involved with these skills and to help them live into a rhythm of seasonality. Not only fun, these activities are also a way to introduce important ecological and natural history concepts. I personally support outdoor free play whenever it’s safe and feasible, even (especially!) in the wintertime. I encourage kids in developing autonomy along with body and emotional awareness. I also promote creative expression through the use of natural and recycled materials in artistry and craft. I am primarily a stay-at-home-mother, so depending on scheduling, my three-and-a-half-year-old son may come along with me for babysitting.

Hello! Thanks for stopping by my profile. First, let me start by introducing myself. My name is Marisa, I am 30 years old. I would describe myself as compassionate, caring, and an eccentric individual with a strong work ethic and love for all people. I would really like the opportunity to get back into child care which is what brought me here! I have been a babysitter for numerous families over the span of around 15 years or so. I have babysat newborns up to the oldest being 13 at the time. I am looking to be employed by a family that would preferably need me on a consistent basis. I am SEVERELY allergic to cats so please keep that in mind when looking to hire me. Thanks so much for stopping by :)

Making a positive impact on children's lives is what I strive for! With seven years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, I offer a patient, creative, and friendly approach to childcare. I am comfortable caring for up to three children at a time. I enjoy playing outdoor sports and board games. I am also comfortable enforcing household rules. I communicate with parents at pickup, and follow their preferred communication methods. I look forward to bringing my experience and passion for childcare to your family!

I love caring for kids because it truly fills my heart. Creating a safe, fun, and loving space for them to just be kids is so rewarding to me. Seeing their smiles, hearing their giggles, and watching them learn new things makes every day special. I’ve cared for children of all ages for years from my own siblings and cousins to neighbors’ kids and family friends. I’m CPR and first aid certified because safety always comes first. I’m patient and calm, and I know how to handle bedtime routines, homework help, meals, and fun activities that keep kids happy and engaged. I love turning ordinary moments into adventures, whether we’re crafting, playing outside, or reading books together. Building trust with both kids and parents means so much to me. I treat every child like my own family and do my best to make them feel loved, safe, and heard.
