http://www.care.com/p/chinyereo25/cc Hello Families! Like most of us, I have been babysitting long before I was getting paid to do so, and I've always enjoyed it. I have 5 years of professional/paid babysitting experience under my belt and I love my jobs! I also have volunteer hours at orphanages and pre-k classrooms, which were very educative and fulfilling. I enjoy the interaction with the children and the flexibility these jobs have to offer a student like myself. I spent some years schooling outside of the States, which has molded me into well rounded, open-minded individual . I display responsibility and reliability on and off the job and an easy-going personality to be around. Previous employers describe me as very sweet, yet assertive with the children. I am energetic and playful enough to get down on all fours and play Space Explorers with the kids I babysit, yet mature enough to take Read more charge and maintain control. I enjoy playtime and being active (i.e. trips to the park) with children, but I do see it as my duty to engage them mentally while they are in my care. I limit TV watching and enjoy reading to them and doing other age appropriate educational activities. I primarily take on one-time/occasional/date-night/overnight/traveling sitting jobs. I have a very flexible schedule, so I can also be a lifesaver in last minute and short notice situations. I look forward to working with you :)

Chinyere has watched my little guy twice now, and I could not wish for a better sitter. She's reliable, calm, warm, and super-patient.

Chinyere was excellent - she was a good communicator via email and text. When she visited to prepare to watch our two cats for five days she asked good questions and was self-assured. When disaster struck - (we had a small emergency) - she went above and beyond and helped us figure it out. She is very responsible, dependable, and makes a real effort to bond with pets. In general, my guy Dave and I would absolutely recommend her if you need a cat sitter or pet sitter.

Chi Chi came to our small hotel room in DC while we were visiting for a wedding and there were some last minute changes on our part and she could not have been more flexible and accommodating - very professional. Our 2 year old son liked her right away and after only 15 minutes of knowing her, left on a walk with Chi Chi with complete ease. She is very sweet and "fun" as our son told us the next morning. She was punctual, easy to work with and very nice. She also got our son to sleep much earlier than we would have been able to! I would recommend her to anyone to babysit their kids.

Chi Chi was a wonderful sitter and the kids loved her. She kept the house from falling into disaster while we were gone and the overall experience with her was great. We would hire her again.

Chinyere took my 2 dogs into her own home at last minute and treated them as if they were her own. She has a very polite sweetness to her my dogs loved her instantly. She would check in with me during their stay just to let me know how they were doing which put my mind to ease and let me enjoy my trip a little more. She took them out to play at the dog park & even offered grooming services for my long hair dog. She was very flexible with pick up/drop off which was awesome cause I don't currently drive. All in all I'm extremely happy with the care she provides and will look to her next time I need a dog sitter.
