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.

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. :)

Hello! I love children and I have been told time and time again that I have a natural talent when it comes to working with them. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years of age. I have had the pleasure of babysitting some amazing children, and I love being able to watch them grow up. There is particular child that I actually have had the pleasure of seeing her grow up from just a few months old! During the winter seasons in high school I worked at a ski resort and taught children between the ages of 4-5, basic ski skills. Since then I have worked in daycare and continuous babysitting! I look forward to connecting with you!

Samantha has been working with my family once-twice/week for about 3 months now and we recommend her highly - my son loves her, she's responsible and fun, has helped out a lot with his potty training process and engages well with him in a low key way which is just what we're looking for.

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.

Thank you for considering me for your family/home~ I’m excited to connect on how I can support your family specifically! I’m passionate about supporting children in exuding their innate intelligence, and fostering interdependence where children feel safe, seen, and empowered to explore themselves & the world. Choosing me: you’ll welcome a learner-led Educator and artist/ designer, with 6 years of experience working with children of various ages and children with special needs. After working in a variety of childcare environments—Preschool, Montessori, Daycare, High School, Park Districts, Therapeutic School, Forest School, Community Programs—& with taking my own time away from traditional structures, I’ve come to understand that to truly teach kids agency, we must model it ourselves. I focus on emotional development, connection over correction, supporting intrinsic motivation, and honoring unique learning styles with personalized goal activities. I work great with: ✧ divergent-minded children who thrive with encouragement & understanding ✧ families who value creativity, play, and connection to nature as foundational for growth ✧ those interested in embracing organic learning rhythms and who are open to adjustments to support particular difficulties & challenges ✧ families who wish to focus on strengths & capability and who hold an experimental lens to life Please reach out 😊
