I enjoy being a mom and helping other families who need a caring and responsible person to care for their children. I have over 35 years experience caring for families with infants, toddlers and school aged children.

We love having Isa watch our almost 5yo and almost 1yo boys. She’s great with both of them, and very good at giving the older one the attention he needs while of course focusing on keeping the 1yo safe and happy!

Barbara M., Child Care in Germantown, NY 12526 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.

Maya M., Child Care in Germantown, NY 12526 with 2 years of paid experience

Hello! I’m Maya, and I have a genuine passion for working with children and creating a safe, positive environment where they can learn, laugh and thrive. I have several years of childcare experience, including two years as an instructor at a well known developmental gymnastics center, where I’ve worked with children of all ages to support their physical, social, and emotional development through play based learning. Before that, I spent multiple summers assisting with children’s events throughout my community, giving me experience with a wide variety of ages, personalities and individual needs. I am also a Developmental Psychology student at University at Albany, where I study how children grow, learn, and develop throughout each stage of life. My education allows me to better understand each child’s unique cognitive and developmental needs, helping me adapt my approach so every child feels supported, seen and encouraged! As a sitter, my goal is to create a fun, engaging and safe environment where your child can be their purest self! I also have 5 years of driving experience with a clean driving record and would be happy to provide transportation as needed! I know how important it is to leave your child with someone you can trust! I look forward to meeting your family!☺️

K. B., Child Care in Germantown, NY 12526 with 1 year of paid experience

Hello, thank you for taking a moment to read my profile: I’m a Mom and longtime professional Chef (CIA Grad) that is an empty nester with my son just having graduated college and is already working in NYC. This new phase in my family-life gives me the opportunity to slow my hectic chef-work pace down. As an entrepreneur I continue to take on the occasional “gig” but am leaning towards exiting the long commutes that coincide with my NYC clients. My culinary profession has given me extensive experience in food related work particularly with clients in their homes. I am well versed in being very mindful and respectful of their confidential/private spaces. As a single Mom to my now 24 year-old son, I am used to the challenges that came/come with juggling between schedules, drop-offs/pickups, snack/meal-prep, errands and work etc. As a Longtime local resident yet born & raised in NYC, I have the advantage of navigating both settings. “A country mile is like walking a city block”…driving numerous times a day is just part of raising a family in a rural setting. I am very comfortable with pets as we are a family with several rescues. I am a non-smoker, well versed with healthier food choices (preferably non-processed for kids) am patient and quite understanding but will say “No” if the circumstance call’s for it and will check in with the parents. I prefer limited or no screen time under my care. My cell phone will always be on but I will not be scrolling. My reputation in general is of stability, honesty and reliability. I am currently working with a wonderful local family weekdays so they are my first priority. However, if an occasional weekend sitter is needed, perhaps I can be of help to your family. Sincerely K.

Christa K., Child Care in Germantown, NY 12526 with 10 years of paid experience

My name is Christa and I love working with children. I always knew I wanted to work with young children as I was growing up with a large family. Now, I am blessed with two daughters, ages 5 years and 16 months. I recently graduated with my associates degree in early childhood education and also have my NYS teachers assistant certification. Upon graduating, I got a job in a daycare as an assistant infant teacher and was promoted to the lead preschool teacher within a few months. I am a substitute at the Catskill Elementary School so I am looking for a summer babysitting job now that school is out. I am comfortable taking care of children from newborn age and up. I am certified in CPR and first aid. I know how important it is to find a caring, nurturing and trustworthy person to take care of your children as that is what I would want for my own. I am that Person! I enjoy crafts, outdoor time, books, songs, games and anything to do with imagination.
