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.

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.

Making a positive impact on children's lives is what I strive for!

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 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'm an Occupational Therapist with 18 years of experience working in Early Intervention (children from infancy through 3rd birthday) and 6 years with preschool aged children (3-5 years). I also worked for 3 years as a live-in childcare provider (children age 18 months to 5 years old) and have worked as a part-time child-care provider with a 2-month-old up to 15-year-old kids for the past

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.

I began babysitter for my neighbors at 12 yrs. Before that I walked babies in their carriages and played with them at the local park. During my first year of college I was a Jr. Sr. High youth group counselor for three combined churches. Then while I attended St. Rose, I spent many hours working with pre-school through 6th grade. After getting my NYS certifications in N-6, English 7-12, business education, and special education, I have taught N through adults and enjoyed them all! At 46, I was blessed to become a mother to my only child, Christopher Raymond. He and I participated in community events, library programs including fantastic summer programs, VBS, and trips I planned to special places like Washington DC & Honolulu, HI. He was an honors student since 3rd grade, graduated with AP and college credits! This us his sophomore year at Marist University. As a teenager I cleaned house but would prefer to take it easy on my back and knees now. I love to bake. My parents were 36 & 40 yrs old when my twin brother & I were born. They allowed my older brothers to name us. When we were older they taught us to swim, ice skate, build snow forts, drive a small motorcycle and then drive a car with a standard. My middle brother & his wife taught college and high school math so prepared us for math Regents. We also went camping with them in the Finger Lakes.
