I've not had an opportunity to have kids and I love them! This is a way for me to enjoy that and help out at the same time. I'm a very dependable person, with a B.S. in Communications and Public Relations, as well as a Certificate of Photography. I'm also a Yoga Therapist and teacher and have had a children's Yoga Ed certification since 2009. I am CPR and first aid trained, and I love pets of all kinds and have 4 cats of my own that I first fostered and now adopted...you could say I am a foster failure :) Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi! I’ve been working with kids since I was 16 and it’s truly something I love doing. In high school and college, I took early childhood education classes where I got hands on experience with children from birth through second grade. I’ve also babysat for kids of all ages from tiny 3 month olds to energetic 10 year olds! I’m currently a senior finishing my bachelor’s degree in Communication Disorders and plan to start grad school in Fall 2026 for Speech Therapy. I love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun!

Hello my name is Kristine and I’m 52 years old.. I currently work for an elementary school during the day from Sept-June as an aide. When school gets out I try to find a summer sitting job to fill some of the weeks and help out a working family. I have a newer mid size SUV and can drive the children to sports or activities. I love pets that’s never a problem, I can prepare the children’s lunch and start dinner if needed. I also am available for weekend date nights or even an overnight if thats what you need occasionally. So if you need a sitter for the summer while your working please consider me, I’m very outgoing and helpful. I have been fingerprinted and background checked by the district I work for.. Thank you for taking the time to consider me and I hope we can meet or speak on the phone for an interview. Please send me a message on here and I will give you my cell so we can set up a meet or chat. Kristine

Hi! My name is Britania, and I’m a warm, patient, and dependable babysitter with a true passion for working with children. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for kids of all ages in a variety of family settings—including single-parent households, busy working families, and those with multiple children or unique routines. What sets me apart is my commitment to creating a fun, nurturing, and safe space where children can thrive. I love planning creative activities like arts and crafts, baking, and imaginative play that keep kids engaged and learning while having fun. I always aim to go above and beyond—not just to supervise, but to connect, encourage, and support each child in their own unique way. I understand the trust it takes to invite someone into your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to be a reliable, calming presence and a positive influence in a child’s daily life. Whether your family needs occasional help or regular care, I’d love the opportunity to work with you. I’m happy to provide references and meet to see if I’m the right fit for your family. Looking forward to connecting!

Why I Love Being a Sitter I’ve always loved caring for children—it comes naturally to me. As a mom of two and a former teacher, I know how important it is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel seen and supported. I genuinely enjoy helping children grow, learn, and explore their unique personalities. Whether we’re reading stories, doing crafts, or just sharing a laugh, I find so much joy in building those special bonds. ⸻ My Experience My childcare journey started early—babysitting as a teen, then working summers as a camp counselor and certified lifeguard. I went on to earn a Master’s in Elementary Education and spent years teaching kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 6th grade. I also led the tennis program at Deer Mountain Day Camp, working with kids of all ages and skill levels. I’ve supported children in all stages of development and feel confident handling routines, schoolwork, playtime, and everything in between. ⸻ My Skills & Training • Master’s Degree in Elementary Education • Certified Lifeguard (past) • CPR & First Aid knowledge • Strong classroom management and communication skills • Experience with children from infants to pre-teens I’m patient, attentive, and calm under pressure—qualities that help children feel secure and help parents feel at ease. I’m currently looking for a part-time position that could grow into something more consistent or full-time down the line. I bring warmth, structure, and years of hands-on experience, and I’d love to find a family I can build a lasting relationship with.

I am a single mom of a 20 yr old son. I worked at Ossining Public Schools in the nurse's office as an office assistant and also helped out the school nurse with first aid, taking temperatures and just caring for the kids if they weren't feeling well or just needed a hug or a break from class as they were the ages of 4 to 8. I worked there for 14 yrs until I got laid off due to cutbacks. I have nieces and nephews and just love kids.
