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.

Elizabeth B., Child Care in Dover Plains, NY 12522 with 30 years of paid experience

I am a warm, dependable, and highly experienced childcare professional with over 30 years of experience working with children from early childhood through the teenage years. My background includes many years as a Montessori educator, as well as hands-on experience as a nanny and family assistant, supporting both children and the overall flow of a busy household. Throughout my career, I have cared for children in classrooms, private homes, and small group settings, helping manage routines, homework, transportation, creative activities, and emotional support. I especially enjoy creating calm, structured environments where children feel safe, understood, and encouraged to grow in confidence and independence. I hold Montessori certifications in both Primary (ages 3–6) and Infant/Toddler education, along with CPR and First Aid certification and a 40-Hour Director Certification in Georgia. I also have experience supporting neurodivergent children, including those with ADHD and on the autism spectrum, with a patient, individualized, and respectful approach.

Hello! My name is GinaLynn and I am a professional nanny. I have been in childcare for over 20 years and absolutely LOVE it. Out of college I was a preschool teacher. My first year I was the head teacher of the 2 & 3 year olds and from there I became the head teacher of the 5 year olds, preparing them for kindergarten. As much as I loved being a teacher I was offered a nanny job I just couldn't refuse. From that point on I have had the joy of helping raise 9 children from 5 different families for 20+ years. I have taken care of children as young as 3 weeks old to 12 years old, both boys and girls. In addition to playing, teaching, crafts, adventures and exploring~I also take care of school drop-off/pick-up, extracurricular activities, doctor appointments, light house cleaning(child/children related), grocery shopping(without child/children), meal prep(for child/children only), laundry(child/children’s), pets, etc. I love every minute of it! I would love to meet /chat with you to see if the puzzle pieces fit. *Resume Upon Request Best Ms. Gina
