My name is Loryn, and I absolutely love working with children! This is my 3rd year working as a social worker at an elementary school where I primarily work with preschool through 1st grade! In 2021, I graduated with my Master's degree in social work, specializing in school social work. I completed my graduate internship working with children (K-2 and 6-8) in a school setting. During that time, I gained experience working with students in both special education (i.e. autism, ADHD, social emotional needs) as well as in general education, both in person and remotely. I previously was employed as a lead teacher at an educational daycare. There I worked in multiple classes with students ranging from two to five years in age. Overall, I enjoy working with kids of various ages and am so thankful I get to do what I love. Feel free to message me with any questions you have, and I look forward to becoming a babysitter for you and your child!

Deanna worked with our family for nearly six years, beginning when our two children were just one and two years old. From the very start, she was a devoted mother’s helper who truly loved and cared for our children through their earliest and most formative years. She consistently demonstrated kindness, patience, and thoughtfulness in everything she did. Deanna was exceptionally reliable, flexible, and deeply dedicated to our family. Whenever we needed extra support—whether due to illness, unexpected circumstances, or schedule changes—she was always there for us. Her willingness to step in and help during challenging times meant more to us than we can fully express. She safely drove our children, cared for them when they were sick, and was an incredible source of stability and support throughout the COVID period and beyond. Deanna consistently went above and beyond her core responsibilities—preparing meals, helping with laundry and sorting clothes, unpacking school and activity bags, and keeping our home organized and running smoothly. Deanna also played a significant role in our children’s development. She mentored them with homework, reinforced good manners and responsibility, and worked closely with us to work through behavioral challenges with care, patience, and consistency. She regularly took them on outings and found thoughtful ways to engage them emotionally, socially, and intellectually. In addition, Deanna was a tremendous logistical support for our family. She helped arrange and plan for vacations, prepared the children for travel, and managed busy schedules with ease, always anticipating what needed to be done. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Deanna as part of our family for so many years. She made a lasting impact on our children and our household as a whole. We recommend Deanna without hesitation and with the highest confidence—any family would be truly lucky to have her.

My name is Karen. I am 47 with 2 grown boys (1 in College and 1 in the military) and a husband retired from the Ct state police. I retired 2 yrs ago as a social worker for the St of Ct. Every parent strives in raise children who are confident, independent, happy and self sufficient beings. My personal and professional experiences, along with my passion for caring and interacting with children, contribute to these goals. I am gifted with organizational skills and multi-tasking. I possess an enormous amount of patience, which is a very important quality when caring for children. Children need to have a sense of stability and consistency, in addition to being allowed enough freedom to grow into confident self sufficient individuals; something I balance well with children. A successful caregiver needs to be able to give individual attention. Gaining the trust and respect of a child is very important. If a child doesn't respect you, they rarely will listen. I don't believe in anger, violence, or threats to motivate children into behaving as most children simply desire to feel respected, needed, listened to and understood. With my education and own experiences as a “mom,” I relate well with children of all ages, from infancy to the teen years. I enjoy being active and spending time outside whether it’s hiking or swimming or simply gardening or taking a walk. I advocate for children of all ages to join in on physical and outside activities but recognize the bonding experience that also comes from snuggling on the couch with a good book or movie. I am an affectionate person but also know children have individual boundaries that need to be respected. My beliefs are that children need to be shown affection and love in order to know how to reciprocate it. I’m efficient with daily activities and scheduling. I’m happy to take care of light laundry and making nutritious snacks/meals as personal health is also something I enjoy teaching and learning about. I’m a safe driver with no derogatory driving history. I have over 25 yrs of professional experience interacting and assessing children and families. I feel strongly in offering up choices to children rather than saying “no.” I am able to implement routine, stability and consistency to children’s lives. Children learn through their own exploration and should be allowed to do just that, in a safe manner. I believe fostering mistakes should be viewed and utilized as learning opportunities.

We were incredibly happy with Morgan! She arrived on time, was patient and engaging with our two young children, and made sure they had a fun evening while following our routines perfectly. We felt completely comfortable leaving our kids in her care and would definitely book her again!

Evelyn was a great swim sitter! She helped us swimsit for two days and would show up early/on time which was great. I had a list of a general schedule (eating/reading/writing/playing/swimming) that she did a great job following. She works really well with younger children. She has experience working afterschool at the boys and girls club. She was also very patient with my two boys who can get very rowdy. She was a great help in the time we had with her. I highly recommend her without hesitation! I hope she might be available in the future.
