I am 19 years old and I’ve been babysitting for about 5 years (I started freshman year in high school). I have experience working with infants from 3 months to children 11 years old. I am always a helping hand when it comes to homework help or if parents need help tidying up around the house. I also have experience dog-sitting and have worked with up to five dogs in one household at a time. I have endless love and offer endless cuddles to your furry companions and of course your children.

Anna B., Child Care in Poughquag, NY 12570 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi everyone! I'm Anna, I've always loved caring for and educating children. I have my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I grew up in a big family with 11 siblings and over 20 nieces and nephews!! So caring for children has been a natural part of my life. I've worked with kids of all ages, but most of my professional experience is with 12months to 5 years old. I student taught at Hill and Plain elementary for the preschool. I led activities ranging from story times, music, and movement, to various art and sensory projects. My focus was always pushing curiosity and of course giving them a safe space to do so! Some activities I really enjoy doing with children are getting outside and going to the playground and parks, the library, sensory play, teaching shapes/colors, arts and crafts, and how to navigate their big emotions. Outside of work I'm big into health/fitness, visiting friends and family, reading and trying new things like restaurants or hobbies!

Meghann D., Child Care in Poughquag, NY 12570 with 2 years of paid experience

Hello parents, my name is Meghann. I have been working in childcare for a year and a half now. My first job as a nanny was with a big family of four children aged 4 months old, 3, 5, and 10 years old. After that, I moved on to work at a two daycare the first daycare i work at was working with in infants and toddler but I was bouncing around to preschool whenever they need with the second daycare i work at is at home daycare i work with the same group of kids with the previous of daycare i work. I also work with kids that have special needs, both toddlers. Other than that I do activities including arts and crafts, outdoor play, music and movement, story time, and structured learning activities like puzzles, memory match games, and building blocks. I also do have CPR and first aid certification that wouldn't expire until 2027 and some early childhood education and training programs. In my job people would ask me what interests me working with children. It's because working with children can be incredibly rewarding, as it involves fostering growth, sparking creativity, and building meaningful relationships, all while making a positive impact on young lives. I find immense joy in helping them learn and grow.
