Kiara P., Babysitter in Ellington, CT 06029 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m a caring and reliable nanny with over 5 years of paid experience working with children from infants to preschool age. I’ve spent years in childcare center, and I’m currently in school pursuing my degree in Early Childhood Development, so I love bringing both hands-on experience and what I’m learning into my work. I’m all about creating a warm, safe, and fun environment where kids can learn, play, and just be themselves. Whether it’s helping with routines, planning little activities, or just being a supportive, positive presence, I truly enjoy what I do and love building strong connections with the families I work with.❤️

We adore Kiara! She is kind, thoughtful and fun. My 10-year-old always has the best time with her and requests that I go out just so they can play :) I trust Kiara completely. She has taken time to get to know my son and his interests -- they play chess, battle with Anime figures and make up stories to act out. I would recommend Kiara 100 percent!

Mia worked with our family for a little over a month and was consistently helpful, reliable, and attentive to everything we asked of her. Our 8-month-old daughter had only ever been cared for by my husband and me, and was understandably hesitant with someone new. Mia showed incredible patience and persistence, gently building trust and adapting to our baby’s needs with care and sensitivity. We truly appreciated her calm presence and dedication, and would absolutely welcome her back should we need additional support for our baby and/or toddler in the future.

I really appreciate Kristin's flexibility with my schedule. This was my son's first time at a sitter that wasn't a family member. We are new to the state so it was important to find someone we both felt comfortable with. My son really enjoyed her kids and I would think to thank them for entertaining him. I would definitely use her again and recommend if you need a reliable sitter.

Sara C., Babysitter in Ellington, CT 06029 with 2 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Sara Coughlin and I am a full time college student from western mass! I am 21 years old and I graduated class of 2021 from my local high school, and am in university but am home for the summers. I have always been good with and genuinely loved being with kids, and have babysat and helped with kids of all ages since I was younger helping out in Child Watch at the YMCA. I have been certified for babysitting by the American Red Cross for years. I love kids as I have always had little cousins and work with kids a lot, I love animals, and helping people, and am very outgoing, caring, and adventurous, which is why babysitting is such a perfect fit for me for a part time job whenever I can! I have been a kids camp unit director and counselor in the summers and it is the best part of my summer days, I couldn’t this summer due to minor scheduling conflicts but will miss it so much this summer! I have experience and love working with any ages. I have experience with casual sitting, date nights, bedtime routines, wedding sitter/help, and much more and I love it all! Please reach out I’m happy to discuss and see if I can help in any way!

We have absolutely loved having Kai provide care for our 18-month-old daughter. For the first couple of weeks, our little one was really nervous and cried a bit, but Kai was patient, gentle, and understanding. She allowed our daughter to lead the way and to engage at her pace and her comfort level. It didn’t take long for our daughter to warm up and look forward to Kai’s arrival each morning. I really appreciated Kai’s focus on learning as she was always teaching our daughter new things (ex: letters, sounds, basic sign language), keeping her engaged, and spending lots of time exploring outdoors. Kai has super positive energy, is very attentive, and clearly cares deeply about the kids she looks after. The only reason we’re not continuing with Kai is that my role was recently eliminated and so I’ll be at home with our daughter, otherwise, we’d absolutely keep working with her! We highly recommend Kai to any family looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy to provide care for their child/children. Kerisha

Tamara D., Babysitter in Ellington, CT 06029 with 10 years of paid experience

I'm a energetic, fun, trustworthy, responsible and mature adult willing to create a friendship with the children and family.  I enjoy reading, teaching, and doing projects with children. I take pride in teaching children new things, making them laugh and creating a peaceful, caring environment.  I would be able to drive if needed since I have my own reliable vehicle. I enjoy animals and would be able to take them for walks or play with them. I'm also willing to assist the family with household tasks as needed. I will supply my reference information upon request.  I am flexible with the rates and sure we could work out an arrangement based on the families needs.
