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.

Hello, thank you for taking a moment to read my profile: I’m a Mom and longtime professional Chef (CIA Grad) that is an empty nester with my son just having graduated college and is already working in NYC. This new phase in my family-life gives me the opportunity to slow my hectic chef-work pace down. My culinary profession has given me extensive experience working with clients in their homes. I am well versed in being very mindful and respectful of their confidential/private spaces. As a single Mom to my now 24 year-old son, I am used to the challenges that came/come with juggling between schedules, drop-offs/pickups, snack/meal-prep, errands and work etc. As a Longtime local resident yet born and raised in NYC, I have the advantage of navigating both settings. “A country mile is like walking a city block”…driving numerous times a day is just part of raising a family in a rural setting. I am very comfortable with pets as we are a family with several rescues. I am a non-smoker, well versed with healthier food choices, am patient and quite understanding but will say “No” if the circumstance call’s for it and will always check in with the parents. I prefer limited or no screen time under my care. My cell phone will always be on but I will not be scrolling. My time spent with my clients children is always filled with; reading, drawing, games, talking about positive subjects or time spent at the library where children's programs are often offered like story/music time. Weather permitting, a packed lunch at the playground. A favorite part of my day is; that I absolutely love laughing with the children. I have a reputation of sincerity, stability, honesty and reliability. I truly enjoy helping families and the moments spent with them. Seeing the children I care for grow, develop and thrive is very rewarding to me. Sincerely, Kersti

Kersti provides regular care for our two children, a toddler and an elementary-age child. She is punctual, reliable, and always has their best interests in mind. I know my kids are in good hands when they are in her care. She often preps dinner for them, helps keep the kitchen tidy, and occasionally puts our toddler down for a nap or bedtime. She's a caring individual who's invested in our kids' well-being and needs.

Hi! My name is Bridgette. I have about 6 years of babysitting and childcare experience and truly enjoy spending time with kids. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, dependable, patient, and comfortable caring for children of different ages. I’m also very comfortable around pets and don’t mind helping with light cleaning, meal prep, homework, or keeping the kids entertained with games, crafts, outdoor activities, and other fun things instead of just relying on screens. I’m responsible, easygoing, and always want parents to feel comfortable knowing their children are being cared for by someone they can trust. I’d love to connect with families looking for a reliable babysitter or nanny!

My name is Christa and I love working with children. I always knew I wanted to work with young children as I was growing up with a large family. Now, I am blessed with two daughters, ages 5 years and 16 months. I recently graduated with my associates degree in early childhood education and also have my NYS teachers assistant certification. Upon graduating, I got a job in a daycare as an assistant infant teacher and was promoted to the lead preschool teacher within a few months. I am a substitute at the Catskill Elementary School so I am looking for a summer babysitting job now that school is out. I am comfortable taking care of children from newborn age and up. I am certified in CPR and first aid. I know how important it is to find a caring, nurturing and trustworthy person to take care of your children as that is what I would want for my own. I am that Person! I enjoy crafts, outdoor time, books, songs, games and anything to do with imagination.
