Anya S., Child Care in Melrose, NY 12121 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello there! My name is Anya and I am here to help lighten your load, helping to make your busy schedule a little easier. I'm energetic, responsible, reliable, kind, compassionate, and caring. I have always loved and enjoyed working with children. My experience starts when I was 13 watching not only my niece but my mom’s friends kids. When I turned 17 I started working for the YMCA at an after school program, I worked with the YMCA for 2 years till they unfortunately closed due to the pandemic. During the pandemic I went to school for childhood education. I worked as teaching assistant which included my 7 years of working experience with children. I most recently was a nanny for a family who had an 8 month old and was with them for almost two years. It is something I love to do and am passionate about. Not only do I love caring for children, but I also love helping with things that need to be done around the house. I am willing to help out in anyway I can to make things easier for you and your family.

Isabella V., Child Care in Melrose, NY 12121 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi there! My name is Bella. I have been working with kids since I was 15, so about 6 years. I have spent months working as an academic and art teacher, as well as a summer camp counselor. I have my own car, plenty of gas and a car seat if needed! Throughout my years of working with children, I have received over 200 hours of explicit child development training. This includes: - solving conflict between kids - bullying prevention/handling - calm down methods - child safety and monitoring - developmental activities and play - working with kiddos with special needs …and much much more. I am an artist by trade, as well as a student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute studying Computer Science and Cognitive Science, with a minor in Business. I have been a tutor and teacher for a few years, so homework is my specialty. I love teaching kids skills as well as art. Working with kids is my true passion, and I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Bella is a warm, attentive, reliable, and fun babysitter! She has an arsenal of games and songs up her sleeve and always has something creative to contribute to the day. My 3-year-old daughter absolutely adores her and frequently asks for her when she’s not sitting! I highly recommend her :)

Catherine G., Child Care in Melrose, NY 12121 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi! I am a recent graduate of Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences and will be beginning medical school later this summer! Babysitting was my first job as a pre-teen and actually began my pursuit of medicine, I find a lot of value in taking care of others! I work as an EMT and have had my license for nearly 5 years. In the past, I have also worked as a lifeguard/swim instructor, and more recently, a Medical Assistant in a Pediatric Primary Care office. I love working with children and am great at meeting them at their level! I am very patient, calm, and love to have fun too! I play both soccer and track at my college so rest assured I can keep up with even the most active kids!

Kristen is fantastic with my children! She is super sweet, keeps the kids fully entertained, and was able to pick right up on my kids routines with just a quick explanation. We utilize her services on a weekly basis and my oldest counts down the sleeps until she comes back again. She’s great!
