Find infant babysitters in Cottekill, NY

I grew up with a younger sister who was quadriplegic, and I’ve been a natural caregiver ever since. I’ve always been the responsible one in my friend groups, and my friends’ parents would call me when they wanted to know how their kids were doing in school. Even as a kid, I was drawn to helping children who were misunderstood. I’m empathetic, nonjudgmental, and a good listener. I’d rather spend time doing things a child is genuinely interested in than impose activities on them, and I’ve found that children often have a lot more to teach me than I could ever teach them. My childcare experience ranges from one-on-one babysitting to classroom teaching and violin instruction. I’ve worked with toddlers through teenagers, and I also spent several years doing crisis counseling with young people ages 13–24. I’ve been a hospice volunteer for two years and work as a death doula, so I’m also very comfortable providing compassionate care to older adults and supporting families through difficult transitions. I’m also a professional pet sitter and will care for your pets with the same attentiveness and love I give my own.

My name is Skylar, I am currently a college student majoring in dental hygiene. I have plenty of experience with kids and pets since I was 14. I am very attentive and mindful when watching children and I practice with them in terms of communication, emotional regulation/support, and of course safety! I also carefully abide by any medication, eating, and bed time schedules. I strive to allow parents to go out on the town again knowing their babies are safe with hourly updates!!
