Portia G., Child Care in Ravena, NY 12143 with 5 years of paid experience

I’m a childhood education major college student with a genuine passion for caring for kids, bringing three years of babysitting experience with children of all ages, specially infants to 12-year-olds. I’m creative, adaptable, and always ready to bring fun, learning into any home I step into. With a strong background in planning engaging activities, helping with homework, and smoothly adjusting to new routines or environments, I aim to make every child feel safe and supported. I’m also great with pets, can drive to any location, and handle school pickups or drop-offs with ease. If you’re looking for someone who truly enjoys helping kids thrive, I’d love to be that person for your family.

We needed a sitter for a gap week that we had in daycare, and Portia was great. She helped our little one stay engaged with activities all day and her calming presence helped her through the transition. Portia was great with communication and was lovely to have around. I would recommend Portia to anyone needing care.

Exceptional Babysitter We feel incredibly lucky to have found Yatanar as our babysitter. From day one, she has been warm, attentive, and wonderfully dependable. Her calm and kind demeanor immediately put both us and our child at ease. It's clear she truly cares about the well-being and happiness of the children she watches. Yatanar has a natural ability to connect with kids — she’s playful, patient, and always engaged. Whether it's reading stories, playing games, or just chatting, she gives her full attention and creates a safe, fun environment. We also appreciate how communicative and responsible she is — always punctual, respectful of our routines, and quick to update us if needed. Most importantly, our child adores her and looks forward to every visit. That peace of mind is priceless for any parent. We wholeheartedly recommend Yatanar to any family looking for someone reliable, caring, and truly wonderful with children.

Brenda R., Child Care in Ravena, NY 12143 with 12 years of paid experience

Hello. My name is Brenda and I live in East Greenbush. I am looking for an opportunity as an educational aide/tutor or to provide child care. My experience includes providing child care and tutoring for many families. I also worked with HVCC students at the Disability Services Center for one year after college. My duties included helping students who needed special accommodations or assistance to take tests and exams. I am a responsible, easygoing, and positive person who enjoys spending time with children and watching them learn and grow. When I visit my family, I spend a lot of quality time with my young niece and nephews. They never want me to leave, which makes me happy and sad. If you think I would be a good match for your family, feel free to contact me.

Melissa C., Child Care in Ravena, NY 12143 with 30 years of paid experience

My name is Melissa and I have over 30 years experience caring for children of all ages (newborn - 14 years). I have had the privilege to care for children in private homes as well as in daycare and after school settings. I truly enjoy creating fun and creative activities that encourage individuality and imagination. I am also a licensed veterinary technician in several states and have been first aid, CPR, and MAT certified. I do not have a background check on here since I am licensed in NYS. This allows you to look me up on the NYS Office of Professions which is updated regularly and will show any misconduct or criminal activities if I were to have them. I currently have the pleasure of helping to care for my 1yr old grandson and my 2yr old autistic nephew.

Norine was wonderful with my 5 children and they all had great things to say about her. We felt very comfortable leaving our children in her care and hope to work with her again. She has great communication and understanding, patient and kind and able to keep them focused. They especially loved her cooking..which is great since I don't regularly cook. :)

I’ve been working with kids from 6 weeks old all the way up to teenagers (16 years), including children on the autism spectrum. I love forming real connections and being someone supportive and consistent in their lives. I’m big on teaching mindfulness, helping kids with emotional regulation, and encouraging creativity especially through music, movement, and fun activities. I have a ton of patience, positive energy, and I genuinely love what I do. I try to give the kind of care I would’ve wanted when I was younger!

Sherri M., Child Care in Ravena, NY 12143 with 31 years of paid experience

I am a 43r old mother of 3 and reside in Delmar, NY. My children are 18, 15, and 12yrs old. I've been sitting since I was 11yrs old. I was lucky to be a stay at home mom from Feb 2000 until 2013. In 2013, I took a part time job working at Elsmere Elementary as a one on one noon aide/who took care of some IEP students and also filled in subbing where the school needed me. I left the school at the end of the school year in 2016 to take on a 5day week babysitting job for a teacher, since my youngest was going to middle school and I could do something full time. I am currently babysitting for a teacher from Hamagrael at her home for her three children which are now 2 1/2, almost 4, and 6yrs old. They will all be going to preschool/school in fall so I am looking to secure a job with another family. Sitting for teachers is ideal for me because I like to be with my children over the school breaks. I love kids and enjoy being able to take them to town park pool, lakes, different playgrounds, the movies, and the library. I am looking for either a summer job or a year round with school breaks off, and time off as needed. One which would allow me to drive with children to and from places on occasion, and that is flexible enough that I can still take my children to an occasional orthodontist visit and drop my son off at baseball camp and such would be great. I do already have my vacation planned for July 28th-August 4th. I also am unavailable from June 22nd-July 3rd for my oldests graduation and a medical treatment for one of my children at Boston Childrens Hospital , in addition to August 17th-20th because I have to drop oldest at college. My kids school breaks/days off for this coming school year are September 3, 10, 19. October 8th. November 12. November 21-23. December 24-Jan1st. January 21st. February 18th-22. April 19th-26. May 27th.
