Hi, I’m Samantha! I recently graduated with my bachelors degree in psychology, along with completing multiple courses in early childhood education. I have 2 years of daycare experience as well as one year experience working in the Mental Health field with children. Between the years of 2014 and 2016 I was enrolled in the early childhood education program at the Eastern Long Island Academy of Applied Technology where I worked towards obtaining my Child Development Accreditation. Some of my hobbies include sports, going to the beach, yoga, and art. I also like to spend a lot of my free time fundraising for the Ronald McDonald House with an organization I have been a part of for almost 10 years. Over the years I have helped raise my two wonderful nephews who are now 6 and 13. I have much prior experience babysitting for numerous families around the area, and would be happy to provide references and discuss further. I look forward to connecting! :)

I highly recommend Cory! I hired Cory to babysit for two nights while my family was out in Cutchogue. We had a baby sleeping, and then Cory took care of 9 year old and 6 year old girls. The girls loved playing and reading with her. Although we didn't spend too much time with Cory, I could tell she was really caring and would be able to take care of the baby if need be. I'll definitely hire Cory again when we are out on the North Fork!

We had an amazing experience with Valentina, who cared for our 1-year-old. She was attentive, patient, and incredibly nurturing. Our little one immediately warmed up to her, and we were impressed by how well she handled everything—from playtime to feeding and nap time. Valentina followed our instructions perfectly and kept us updated throughout the day, which gave us peace of mind. It’s clear she loves working with children and knows how to engage and comfort them. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring babysitter!

My name is Jessica/Jessie and I love children. Rest assured, I am Adult, Child and Infant, Pediatric CPR/AED & First Aid Certified. I have experience with children and adults who have special needs. Experienced with infants, toddlers, and grade school children. I drive a reliable 2021 Subaru Forester, and have a clean driving record. Organized and experienced, I enjoy making the time I’m there enjoyable for everyone. From climbing the tree in the yard together with the older kids, to homework help, meal prep and clean up, it will be done. I’m classically trained, I play the viola and drums. So I love bringing various instruments such as hand drums, small tambourine, and maracas for the children to enjoy. I sometimes bring a mini speaker and encourage dance, exercise and self expression. It’s been amazing to me, how much I’ve observed how music really helps the children use their imaginations! I’ll bring lots of other activities like a craft, coloring books,markers,matching games, a variety of balls are always with me, to share with your children. Additional sports equipment, and soccer nets are also available upon request and are all included in my rate. I’m looking forward to finding more families to build a relationship with. Childcare is something that comes really natural for me, this is one of the reasons I love it so much. Looking forward to speaking with you soon. Several recent references available upon request.

Jessica was a wonderful babysitter for our young kids (ages 2, 4, 6). We were staying out east for a family wedding and needed to find an experienced, trusted babysitter for just one night. We are so thankful to have found Jessica! The kids immediately responded positively to her calm and happy energy. They loved the instruments she brought over. She handled dinner and different bedtimes like a pro - which she is! We would definitely hire Jessica again!

Teresa watched out 1.5 and 3.5 year old this summer and I can't say enough good things about her. She is kind, patient, and truly loves kids. She didn't just watch our 1.5 year old she really engaged in play and taught her new skills/words. She was always on time and very reliable. We were so lucky to have found her!

India was very kind, respectful, and timely. She was engaged and professional. At first I was worried since she is in high school but she proved me and my wife wrong by how well she did. She got the kids to bed in time, made them dinner, and kept them entertained. I would strongly recommend India to any family looking for a one-night sitter.

Hi, my name is Jessie and I am 33 years old and work in a school office. I have great references for families I have been consistently working for, some as long as 8 years! I know there are a few reviews on this site that say I am not reliable for meeting, but those families were from many years ago and I do not recall these happening. I would love to match with a new family and have better reviews added to my profile to boost my rating. I can provide great references! I have taken some early childhood classes in the past. I have nearly 20 years of babysitting experience for children of all ages. I have six years of daycare experience for children 6 weeks- 5 years old. I worked in an infant room for two years and have experience with newborns. I am great with toddlers as well. I have experience with twins, multiple children and children with disabilities including autism and ADHD. I have done before and after school care, overnight care, vacation coverage and so much more. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I have transported children in the past as well, even as young as a few months old. I am reliable, respectful, fun, loving, caring, energetic, and so much more! I would much rather play outdoors, read, do crafts, play pretend, or anything else than sit in front of the TV. I do not text the whole time I am with them, but I have no issue if you would like to call or text to check in on the kids. I can even send videos and pictures throughout the day, so you can see your children enjoying their time. I absolutely love children and would love to help your family out. I have plenty of references I would be more than happy to provide to you and have no issues agreeing to have a background check done if you would like to. Please feel free to contact me on here or call my cell 631-375-2229. Looking forward to hearing from you. Jessie

Jessie babysat our 7-month-old twin girls for 2 evenings while we were on a family vacation in Greenport. She was warm and reliable with the babies from the start. She handled everything with confidence and care, giving us complete peace of mind during our date nights. We’d happily hire her again and highly recommend her to other families!
