I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old, caring for families with anywhere from one to four children ranging in age from newborns to 12 years old. I also have a one year old of my own and bring a strong educational background to my childcare experience. I’ve been a teacher for nine years with a focus in special education and have taught Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. I’m very hands-on and love engaging kids in both indoor and outdoor activities, from creative crafts to active play. I’m also happy to help with homework, chores, and daily routines. I can prepare meals, tidy up, and ensure the kids stay on track while having fun. In addition to my love for working with children, I’m an animal lover who grew up with dogs and currently has a chocolate lab.
“Absolutely wonderful! Courtney is engaged with my son the whole time she is here!”
Hi - My name is Kelly and I'm currently a sophomore at SUNY Purchase. I am offering child care, pet care, and light cleaning duties. I was a three sport athlete for most of my life and have helped take care of my 7 year old cousin from age 1-present as well as my new baby niece who is 4m.
Hi! I’m a warm, responsible, and energetic caregiver who truly enjoys spending time with children. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for kids of different ages, helping with school routines, homework, meals, bedtime, transportation, and creating fun, engaging activities that encourage learning and creativity. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and valued. I love planning arts and crafts, reading stories, playing outdoors, baking together, and finding creative ways to make everyday moments enjoyable. I’m patient, dependable, organized, and able to stay calm in busy situations. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, children’s laundry, meal preparation, tidying play areas, and pet care. I have a valid driver’s license and experience driving children safely to and from school, activities, and appointments. Families describe me as caring, trustworthy, proactive, and easy to communicate with. I always strive to build a positive relationship with both children and parents by providing reliable, attentive, and loving care. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and become someone you can count on with confidence!
Strong References! Hi - My name is Camila, I’m 27 years old. I have experience taking care of children of different ages and really enjoy creating a fun and safe environment for them. I’m responsible, caring, and organized, and always do my best to support each family’s routine and make the children feel happy and comfortable. I love dancing, singing, reading, and outdoor activities, and I like to bring these into the kids’ routine through games, crafts, and playtime. I can also help with homework, meals, light cleaning, and errands.
I've been caring for children for as long as I can remember. As the oldest sibling, with brothers nearly 10 years younger than me, I began helping care for them when I was just 7 years old. Because my mother worked nights, I took on many caregiving responsibilities from the time they were infants. Those experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of creating a safe, loving environment for children. Over the years, I have babysat children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to school-aged children and teenagers. I have also worked as a camp counselor for children with special needs, supporting children with developmental, emotional, behavioral, and mental health challenges. This experience strengthened my patience, adaptability, and ability to respond calmly to a wide range of situations while ensuring every child felt safe, included, and supported. Safety is always my top priority. I naturally assess risks, stay attentive, and make thoughtful decisions to ensure children are protected while having fun. I understand the trust parents place in a caregiver, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I genuinely love children and enjoy engaging with them through play, reading, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, homework help, and everyday learning opportunities. I believe every interaction is an opportunity to help children build confidence, curiosity, and kindness. I'm also a proud dog mom to both large and small dogs, so I'm very comfortable in homes with pets and happy to care for furry family members as well. I work full-time during the day and babysit during evenings and weekends because I truly enjoy spending time with children. I am dependable, nurturing, and reliable, and I believe children learn by watching the adults around them. I always strive to be a positive role model by demonstrating kindness, patience, respect, and good judgment. My goal is to give parents complete peace of mind, knowing their children are safe, happy, and cared for by someone with a lifetime of childcare experience who genuinely loves helping children learn, grow, and thrive.
