Anna B., Child Care in Dover Plains, NY 12522 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi everyone! I'm Anna, I've always loved caring for and educating children. I have my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I grew up in a big family with 11 siblings and over 20 nieces and nephews!! So caring for children has been a natural part of my life. I've worked with kids of all ages, but most of my professional experience is with 12months to 5 years old. I student taught at Hill and Plain elementary for the preschool. I led activities ranging from story times, music, and movement, to various art and sensory projects. My focus was always pushing curiosity and of course giving them a safe space to do so! Some activities I really enjoy doing with children are getting outside and going to the playground and parks, the library, sensory play, teaching shapes/colors, arts and crafts, and how to navigate their big emotions. Outside of work I'm big into health/fitness, visiting friends and family, reading and trying new things like restaurants or hobbies!

We feel so fortunate to have met Anna. She's personable, responsible, and our kids adore her. She kept them busy every day, took them to get ice cream, the park, swimming, and even housesat for us while we were on vacation. I highly recommend Anna, and my kids do too!

Sheri was absolutely amazing. We recently traveled to CT for a family wedding weekend and needed someone to watch our two small children during and after the rehearsal dinner and then on and off during the wedding day. After messaging a bit on the SitterCity app, she took the initiative to call me a week and a half before the wedding to discuss my needs for the weekend and learn more about the kids. Her kind and responsible manner was immediately evident on the phone. She was prompt (even early) both days and came prepared with loads of toys and activities for the kids. The kids immediately warmed up to her and seemed to enjoy the time they spent with her. Sheri even helped out during the wedding ceremony - when my son started to fuss, she just scooped him up and took him for a walk. Sheri just seemed to know how to help. My husband and I didn’t worry for a minute while our kids were in her care. I wish I could find someone just like her in my hometown of ATL! Definitely hire her, you won’t regret it.

Lexi B., Child Care in Dover Plains, NY 12522 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Lexi, and I'm 24 years old. I am currently in school at Naugatuck Valley community college. I have around 4 years experience working with children and genuinely love helping them learn, play, and grow. I started babysitting for families at my church and have continued caring for children of different ages over the years. I also worked at an after-school care program and a summer camp, where I supervised and engaged with children across a wide range of age groups. These experiences have helped me become patient, adaptable, and confident in caring for children with different personalities and needs. I'm responsible, dependable, and always strive to create a fun, safe, and positive environment for every child!
