Hi there... My name is Melanie and I work as an Alzheimers and dementia care Specialist for a large Assisted Living company. While my work is wonderfully rewarding, children are now and always have been my passion. I am a college graduate who has worked with children (many with special needs) for over 25 years. I am fun, energetic and trustworthy and have a number of references who can provide any other information that may be helpful for you. I am first and foremost a Mom of four children. I know first hand what a challenge it is to find that special person with whom you will trust your most precious little one/ones. I am highly skilled in newborn/infant care...everything from diapering, feeding, and bathing to getting the baby on a schedule. I worked as a nanny in Greenwich as my first job out of college. I am a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist, so play is my thing! I love singing, reading, building, rocking, cuddling, dancing etc. with all of the special Little’s in my life. More Things I love: My husband, my children, my puppies, my Church, the beach and my friends. Oh and I love to laugh!. I am so looking forward to talking with you about how I can help with with not only your child care needs, but in nurturing and helping your little one feel cherished and special.

Hi families! My name is Shahara. A little bit about me: I absolutely love working with kids! I am a firm believer that our youth are not only the future; they are the present. Kids are a fascinating group of little people with so much knowledge and skill sets that make them just as a capable as us to change the world today--they just need adults who believe in them and their interests…& that is where I come in :) I am former middle school science teacher. I taught 6th and 7th grade science for 6 year, and am certified in Elementary Education (K-6). I can certainly provide tutoring in multiple subject areas if needed. My babysitting experience entails sitting for over 10 families, with children ages ranging from 7 months - 11 years old. Children under my care say that I am loving, patient, organized, and fun! I can handle preparing meals for children of all ages, bed time routines and helping with chores around the house (i.e., dishes, laundry, light cleaning). I am open to some household duties, like housesitting, tidying, running small errands, and tutoring/support with school work. Thank you for considering me for the opportunity to serve your family--I look forward to meeting you all!

Dhespina H.
- 4 years paid experience
- 6 miles
Hello! My name is Dhespina, and I babysit three children (ages 6, 11, and 14) every weekday morning, Monday through Friday. I started babysitting the kids in January 2025. My responsibilities include waking the children up for school, helping the youngest get dressed and brush his teeth, making sure they’ve had breakfast, packing their lunches, and getting all three to school on time. In the afternoons, I pick them up from school, take them to appointments when needed, and occasionally stay after school to babysit. I love babysitting because I genuinely enjoy being around children. It doesn’t feel like work to me, but something that comes naturally because of how much I enjoy it. ***CERTIFIED IN ADULT, CHILD AND INFANT, PEDIATRIC CPR/AED & FIRST AID***

Hello, my name is Sarah. I’m 25 years old and currently seeking an after school part-time position where I can bring my energy, creativity, and experience to a warm family environment. I have extensive hands on experience caring for children of different ages and developmental stages, and I take pride in being a reliable, honest, and nurturing caregiver.

In addition to general childcare, I have experience supporting children in special education, including those on the spectrum. I strive to be patient and supportive through each stage of a child’s growth. It’s also very important to me to work with an inclusive, LGBTQ+ friendly family that values kindness, respect, and acceptance for all.
