Lori was amazing and our kids really enjoyed spending time with her and even asked for her to come look after them again which is rare. She is clearly a kind and thoughtful person and really engaged with the kids with through conversation’s and games and even brought some arts and craft projects which was a nice touch. With a high energy son and a more quiet and artsy daughter it can be a challenge to keep both entertained and Lori did this brilliantly. We will definitely be reaching out again when we need help.

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!

Sheri was absolutely amazing. We recently traveled to CT for a family wedding weekend and needed someone to watch our two small children during and after the rehearsal dinner and then on and off during the wedding day. After messaging a bit on the SitterCity app, she took the initiative to call me a week and a half before the wedding to discuss my needs for the weekend and learn more about the kids. Her kind and responsible manner was immediately evident on the phone. She was prompt (even early) both days and came prepared with loads of toys and activities for the kids. The kids immediately warmed up to her and seemed to enjoy the time they spent with her. Sheri even helped out during the wedding ceremony - when my son started to fuss, she just scooped him up and took him for a walk. Sheri just seemed to know how to help. My husband and I didn’t worry for a minute while our kids were in her care. I wish I could find someone just like her in my hometown of ATL! Definitely hire her, you won’t regret it.

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.

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.

"As a babysitter, I have provided attentive and nurturing care for children of various ages, ensuring their safety and well-being while engaging them in fun and educational activities. My role involved preparing meals, helping with homework, and creating a structured yet flexible routine to meet each child's needs. At Bright Horizons, I worked as a teacher, where I utilized my CDA certification to develop and implement age-appropriate lesson plans that fostered a love for learning. I focused on creating a supportive and inclusive classroom environment, encouraging children's social, emotional, and cognitive development. My experience at Bright Horizons has equipped me with strong communication and organizational skills, as well as the ability to work effectively with children and their families." “I’m currently working in Bright Horizons at Poughkeepsie as a lead teacher in infant and preschool classroom”

Amira was a pleasure to work with and we would not hesitate to work with her again. We had two evenings of wedding events in Beacon, NY, and Amira took care of our two boys (9 and 7 years old) during this time. When we started looking for a sitter, she was very responsive to all our messages, and helped make the process easy. She completed the background check immediately, and hopped onto a call ahead of time for a quick interview. She arrived on time on both days. It's easy to see that she likes spending time with kids. I recommend her without any hesitation.
