Booked by 1 family in Harriman, NY

I'm a dedicated and energetic babysitter with 5 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I have a military background, which has instilled in me discipline, reliability, and strong organizational skills. I love working with kids, creating fun and engaging activities, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I have CPR and First Aid training (in progress), and I'm comfortable driving, assisting with homework, and helping around the house with light housekeeping. I'm available for part-time and/or full time positions and bring enthusiasm, patience, and a positive attitude to every family I work with. Your children's safety, growth, and happiness are my top priorities!

Frances came through for me on short notice to babysit my son before school started. And she dropped him off safely as well. Thank you!

As a mother of three and an experienced healthcare professional, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, calm, and dependable to care for your child. Families can feel confident knowing their children are in capable, experienced hands. I am available for date nights, occasional childcare, overnight newborn care, and recurring childcare needs. My hospital schedule varies, but I can often accommodate advance scheduling and ongoing arrangements. Outside of work, I enjoy horseback riding, gardening, and spending time with my family.

Booked by 1 family in Harriman, NY

My name is Keidy and you can think of me as your Swiss Army knife of child care. Not only am I backed by years of experience and multiple first aid certifications, but my love of children (especially the furry ones) as well! If you give me the opportunity I will protect and entertain your little one while you’re out being super mom/ dad!

Keidy was a pleasure to have and demonstrated excellent attention to detail while caring for my six-month-old dog and my seven-year-old niece, who can be quite a handful.

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!!
