Find experienced child care providers in Ithaca, NY

Hello, I love being a babysitter because it is so heartwarming to be around younger people and get to be a role model in there life. I am additionally looking to get more experience with young children and babies because I plan to be a NICU or Labor and Delivery nurse. I love working with infants and young toddlers particularly. I often babysit for kids in the neighborhood, and I am a swim instructor as well as lifeguard in the summer. I am CPR certified, and have taken a babysitting course previously through a BOCES program.

Hello! I am a 26 year old woman living in lower Manhattan, looking for summer work. In addition to having extensive babysitting experience throughout my teens and early twenties, I am also a trained social worker (my primary area of focus was youth) and a fiction writer. Additionally, I volunteered at multiple children's specialized hospitals during my high school years, as well as worked as a tutor in math and reading. I believe strongly in the merits of social-emotional learning and trauma-informed care, particularly when working with children, which means that part of being a good sitter is helping children navigate their emotions and relationships. I will be heading off to Cornell University in the fall for a creative writing MFA and in the meantime, am eager to take on any opportunities you might have for me.

Hey I’m Jupiter! I just finished my first year at Hampshire College studying social work and psychology, but since my school closed down last month I’m back home looking for a way to spend my time and earn an income. I have experience working with kids as a camp counselor for two summers, and on and off as a babysitter as a teenager. I love working with kids because they offer such unique insights into the world and they’re often very perceptive.

Hi, Here is a little background info about me. I was born and raised in NJ, I am one of 5 children and come from a very loving and close nit family. I have 7 nieces and 2 nephews that range from 10-28 but since they have been born, I have watched all of them throughout their childhood and in the summers throughout my college years I was a nanny. Once I graduated with a bachelor's in international business management, I moved to NYC and worked in the corporate world for over 20 years. I had a great job but needed a change. So, I left the corporate world and moved to Cape Cod for 3 years. I took care of my cousins 3 children (ages, 2,3 and 5) from 7am to 7pm Monday-Friday. It was great but they got older and went to school, so I decided to leave the Cape. I was then in a transitional period; I did not want to move back to NYC and go back to the corporate world because I realized that my love for taking care of children was what I wanted to do. My brother and his family have always lived in Ithaca and my mom (who I am very close with) decided to move to Ithaca, so I made the move with her. I found a great apartment and started nannying and I also started my own small business of personal organizing. For the first few years, I started out watching twin boys that were 4 months when I started. Then Covid hit and I had to take a break. Since then, I have been working for families that have children from 2 months to 10 years old. I can go into more detail once we speak, and I can also give you recent references. I am a very loving, caring and nurturing person and taking care of children is something I take very seriously. I have many years of experience, and I am very professional and understand that every child has different needs and personalities. I would love to set up a time to talk. I think we could be a good fit. I hope to hear from you soon!! Thanks, Kristie

Hi families! My name is Kaci and being the oldest in the family, I have been caring for children for as long as I can remember.

I love helping children in there development stage, I like to watch them learn new things and grow! I did early childhood in high school! My mom had 5 kids and I was the oldest daughter so they became my responsibility very young. I’ve always liked watching after kids because I get to learn things they like and don’t like, the way they all learn differently.
