Maeve F., Child Care in Shokan, NY 12481 with 10 years of paid experience

My name is Maeve, I'm 28 years old, and I'm trying to find flexible part-time work as a babysitter. I volunteered to tutor elementary school students throughout my 4 years in undergrad, so I'm more than happy to help with homework. I am also experienced in caring for children with special needs after working at summer camp for kids with developmental disabilities. I am also a certified EMT, so your children are in safe hands in the event of an emergency. I can't wait to meet your family!

Maeve has watched our two year old a number of times over the past few months. She is outstanding; he looks forward to her coming over, has a great time, and ends the day tired out because he has been so engaged. Could not recommend her more highly.

Marina  L., Child Care in Shokan, NY 12481 with 5 years of paid experience

I truly love babysitting because I find immense joy in helping children learn, grow, and feel safe and cared for. Each child has their own unique personality and needs, and I love being a part of their daily discoveries and routines. It is a very rewarding experience to build strong, positive bonds with children and their families. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged children. Over the years, I have worked in a preschool setting, and have worked with families both full-time and part-time, providing not only supervision but also engaging in creative play, educational activities, and outdoor fun. I am comfortable managing mealtime, naptime, and bedtime routines, and always focus on creating a warm and welcoming environment. Nowadays, i work as nanny and babysitter around NY. In terms of skills and training, I am CPR and First Aid certified, very organized, patient, and responsible. I also speak Portuguese and English, which can be great for bilingual families! Whether it is for one-on-one meetings or regular weekly help, I am happy to support your family in any way you need. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

We can’t recommend Lizzy enough! She saved the day when we did not have childcare during the work week. She jumped right in and was fantastic with our child. As my 5 year old daughter said “she’s perfect!”

Margaret provided stellar care for our two daughters (age 3 and 1) and friends’ little ones (age 3 and 2) during a recent visit to the area. She was incredibly kind and gentle with the kids who immediately warmed up to her. My oldest is still talking about how much she liked Margaret, which is not a common babysitter experience for us! She was very communicative, showed up early, and made us feel totally at ease about leaving the kids with her. I’ve already recommended her to some local friends.

Ashley O., Child Care in Shokan, NY 12481 with 9 years of paid experience

When you start sitting from a young age, you learn a few things down the road. 9 years later, I've learned that what I love about sitting is the bond created with the families I've sat for. Not to mention, watching the children grow into beautiful, smart, and gifted human beings. It is truly a privilege to be entrusted with the opportunity to support the development and success of the child/children in my care. I have worked with children ages two to as old as sixteen. I love to create less screen time activities! Allowing children to grow in their own creativity. I currently work at a preschool as a teachers assistant! Please feel free to contact me with any questions. We can discuss availability together!

Hi, I am a full time college student out of state and am looking to work seasonally and when I am home from college. In the past I have babysat, coached youth girls lacrosse, catering, camp counselor, and I work at a local ice cream shop every summer. I have worked with children from ages 4 to 13. Family is very important to me, I have a younger brother, lots of little cousins and many pets at home so the babysitting environment comes natural to me. I love the outdoors, baking, and getting crafty. I am an english major planning on getting my masters in secondary education in hopes of becoming an english teacher.
