Greetings Parents and Guardians, If you’re reading this, it means you are looking for a: trustworthy, experienced, caring, fun-loving, and safe babysitter for your most precious part of your life-your child(ren). I started babysitting when I was 10 and just kept going. I babysat all through college and even during my career as a teacher. I have worked with children in three ways: babysitting, tutoring, and being an elementary school teacher and media specialist. I even taught at the graduate school level which was very interesting and entertaining as the adults complained more about homework than my fifth graders! I enjoy children and I respect their idiosyncrasies and personalities. With this in mind, I have experience with children who are gifted and talented and as well as those who are on the autism spectrum. Not every babysitter has that experience nor is comfortable with children on the spectrum or gifted. I enjoy doing crafts and especially baking with the children I babysit. My pizza parties are very popular! It’s important we have fun together but also learn life skills in the process. I adore reading to children and believe that reading should bookend our day together. Additionally, if you have pets—that’s wonderful! I adore cats and dogs and find their presence in a family so warm and fun. Certainly, my bio has you excited to book and meet me! I can’t wait to meet your children! So contact me to schedule a meeting with you and your family. I look forward to adding your child(ren) to my babysitting schedule.

Allyson was such a joy to have in our home watching our daughter in the afternoon a couple times a week. She brought humor and grace and a slew of recipes that her and my daughter made. My daughter loved learning how to make new things, use new tools and of course consume the delicious results. She brought new ideas and activities for her and my daughter to do when they weren't baking. I think they formed a really sweet relationship! Allyson was also a great communicator. She was always on-time and rarely had to change our schedule and was very open to any rescheduling I had on my end. Any family would greatly benefit from having Allyson form these wonderful relationships with their children.

My varied background with children of all ages, and my education provide a wealth of experience and knowledge that will enrich any home. In the past, I have been a nursery school teacher, provided childcare in my own home, was co-director of an elementary age after school program and summer day camp, and I was Christian Education Director at two churches, teaching children of all ages and multi-age groups. I homeschooled my two boys for 10 years. Currently, I am a professional pastel artist, and have taught pastel art classes to elementary age children. My educational background is an MA In Marriage, Family and Child Counseling, with a special emphasis on counseling with children. I am in good heath and am energetic. I enjoy creating an atmosphere of fun, easily engaging with children on their level. I love sharing my excitement for life with children, and also creating a peaceful, nurturing environment where they can feel secure. I can assist with all daily activities, supporting the care of your children in your home, and can also help with tutoring and teaching. It would be a great privilege and blessing to walk alongside you, assisting you in caring for your children.

We love Debbie. My son took right to her and talks about her for days afterwards. She brings her bag of art and has so much fun. She is an amazing communicator and very understanding. She’s thorough with getting all the information needed to care for your little as well as possible. I definitely encourage you to use her, you won’t be disappointed.

My name is Ellie Aiello and I am a current English teacher with a Master’s degree in education for grades 6-12. I have been babysitting intermittently for over four years with a two year break for part of college. In my experience I have cared for many ages of children from infants up to 12/13 year olds, with the most children I have cared for at one time being 4. I previously worked at a before and after school daycare for groups of children where I cared for children ranging from kindergarten to eighth grade. In all cases I have worked with children with a variety of needs and requirements as well. Along with years of babysitting on and off, throughout my college and teaching career I have worked with students from 6th grade (11/12) up to 12th (17/18) in both a tutoring and teaching capacity. My general availability is for the remaining summer break (until early August) with most other availability being on the weekend. I have my own vehicle, I am CPR and AED certified, and if you have any other questions, please feel free to ask!

I have over 15 years of childcare experience including being a live in nanny! I've studied Early Childhood Education and Development in college and a beautiful son of my own (who would not be accompanying me to any position aquired.) I love what I do and the families I care for!

Natalia has been great. She has been our nanny for 5 months. She has been cheerful, upbeat, professional. She shows up on time, keeps the kitchen counter clean, does the babys laundry, gives her a bath, feeds her bottles and solid food, and Freya is always half when I get home. We have had a great experience with her.

I've been a stay-at-home mom for about 30 years. In that time, I've raised my four children and two step-children, as well as two of my grandchildren. When my kids were younger, I provided childcare in my own home. I cared for most of these children for several years, including triplets for over two years from ages 4-6, two infants from a few weeks old to preschool age, and other infants and toddlers for shorter time periods. I also worked for a few years with elementary age students as a part-time cafeteria hostess in my child's school. My schedule is flexible and I am willing to provide some transportation. I love kids and I am young enough to still have fun with them! If you are looking for a strict, by-the-book nanny then I'm not the one for you. However, If you're looking for someone to genuinely care for your kids, then I can be what you're looking for.

Maggie was our nanny when I returned to work when my son was three months old. As a first time mom, I’m was terrified of this transition period. Maggie was exactly what our family needed. She is kind, loving, patient and infant care is her forte. Maggie is up to date on all of the infant practices that are important. She still cares for our son who is now 2 on an occasional basis. He loves spending time with her. I highly recommend Maggie anytime I am asked for a reference.

Taj is great with my daughter! She has only been there a short time and I can tell she really loves it! Her son is so sweet and my daughter loves to play with him. As an added bonus Taj does her hair better than I do! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter! Kennita
