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.

I truly love being a nanny and sitter because caring for children has always been a natural part of who I am. I find joy in creating a safe, nurturing environment where kids can grow, explore, and feel supported. Every child is unique, and I value the chance to bring out their creativity, confidence, and curiosity through play, learning, and consistency. I have decades of hands-on experience raising my own children as well as working with families in the U.S. and abroad. Over the years, I have cared for children of all ages from newborns and toddlers to school aged kids and teens with an emphasis on patience, positive communication, and encouragement. I understand the balance between structure and fun, and I know how to adapt to each family’s needs.

Barbara has been an exceptional babysitter for our 13-month-old. She is incredibly easy to work with, professional, responsive, and a natural caregiver. What stands out most is her intuition—she knows how to read and respond to our child's cues, especially when things don't go according to plan. We have complete trust in Barbara and always feel comfortable knowing our child is in her care. She is dependable, attentive, and genuinely invested in providing the best care possible. We highly recommend Barbara to any family looking for a skilled, trustworthy, and compassionate caregiver.

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 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.

Hi! My name is Shayla! I'm 20 years old and have about 4 years of experience working with children, including time in an after-school program! I live in Columbia County, I'm CPR and BLS certified, and will have an Associate's degree in Arts and Science this May! I also will be starting nursing school this fall! I currently work as a Patient Care Technician on a Mother-Baby unit, so caring for infants and supporting families is something I'm very familiar with! Growing up surrounded by nieces, nephews, and younger cousins has given me lots of hands-on experience keeping kids engaged and entertained! I love planning fun activities like outdoor play, arts and crafts, games, and story time. I'm also happy to help with light housekeeping like tidying up, dishes, and organizing toys. My goal is to create a safe, positive environment where kids can have fun and parents can feel at ease. I'm responsible, dependable, and love building positive connections with families I work with. Maybe we can work something out!
