Sittercity helps Strafford families find the best babysitters

Hello, my name is Christina. I have many years of experience caring for children. I am a lead toddler and preschool teacher since 2014 and experience within a school district as social/emotional support for students from preschool through high school. I have experience with educating and caring for children with special needs as well as behavioral support. I have been a nanny for multiple families and helped two postpartum mothers connect with their newborn and learn their own strengths as a parent. I am also a parent of four teenagers myself.

Why I love being a sitter… I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and watching them grow, learn, and explore the world around them. Every child is unique, and I take pride in being a positive, caring presence in their lives. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or simply being someone they can trust, I find it incredibly rewarding to support both kids and their families. What experience do I have….. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, in both personal and professional settings. I’ve worked with multiple families over the years, managing routines like meal prep, bedtime, school pickups, and fun educational activities. I’m comfortable handling multiple children at once and always prioritize safety, patience, and kindness. What skills and training do I have? I’m certified in CPR and First Aid, which gives me the confidence to respond quickly and calmly in any emergency. I also have strong communication skills, a natural ability to connect with kids, and a dependable, organized approach to caregiving. I understand the importance of structure while also making sure children feel supported and heard. Whether it’s keeping a toddler entertained or helping with middle school homework, I’m ready to help!

Hi! I’m currently 24 years old and I became babysitter certified at the age of 12 to be able to properly care for my younger cousins/siblings and I’ve been at it ever since. I also took an early childhood learning class in high school. I absolutely adore children and I care for every one as if they were my own. I have experience as a behavioral technician in a clinical setting working with children on the spectrum from ages 2-5. I have experience with infants, toddlers, elementary age & pre-teens. I also have experience with multiples. I love encouraging children to engage in activities that help them learn/grow but I also love bringing them places to relax and have fun or just simply coloring together and listening to music. I also like cooking and what not so meal prep is always on the table if you need it. I always respect parents boundaries/wishes and I adapt to whatever approach they prefer with anything. Most importantly; I will protect your child with my life, scouts honor!

Kids are my absolute dream to work with. I have done the preschool program in my high school during my senior year which I just finished. I am interested into becoming a Education Major later on in the year. I want to make some fun memories with young kids before I go to pursue my education and career. While also letting their parents do their jobs stress free about whats happening at home.

I am a 19-year-old Maine native with art skills and a willingness to collaborate. I am a student and enjoy learning new things. I love nature and reading books to kids, and helping them explore their environments. I’m also good with pets and have patience with both. I’ve had my license for two years now and have never received traffic violations or warnings. I graduated high school in honors and am now going to be attending southern new Hampshire university in the fall.

I work in a childcare center as a Lead Infant teacher. I am very passionate about helping the kids feel safe and nurtured in my care. I am cpr and first aid certified and can pass a background check if needed

Hi my name is Oriah and I am very passionate about kids. I love kids of all ages but especially love babies. I have recently graduated from UNH with a degree in Human Development & Family Studies and a minor in Anthropology. I have an array of experiences working with children. I have newborn experience, and have had long term nanny positions with multiple families. I also have experience working at a preschool. I am patient, energetic and goofy. I love art and being creative as well as the outdoors. I think it is extremely important for children to develop a loving relationship with nature and the outdoors. I think the most important factor for a babysitter and a family is to have open communication. I hope you consider hiring me as your babysitter because I truly enjoy working with children. Please message me if you need help! I am currently looking for 30 hours a week this fall.
