I had multiple children experiences. in my 20 years with Sitter city I am proud to say my shortest stay with a family was 3 years. I only leave either bcuz the family relocated or the children grew up to the point the grandmother can already stay and watch them like they were already 16 years old. My youngest child I took care was a newly born -3 months old. I can provide several references to vouch for my reliability, my punctuality and good character. YOu can even let sitter city run my criminal background for your peace of mind . If interested- you may contact me at 732-646-1678. if you already got someone- you can keep my number for date nights, special occasions like wedding were your sitter suddenly called off sick. I am very flexible as I'm retired. Sincerely Annie

Hi! My name is Kati 🌸 and I truly love being a babysitter. I enjoy spending time with children, helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and caring environment. I find it incredibly rewarding to be part of a child’s development and to build strong, trusting relationships with both kids and their families. 🤍🧸 I have 1 year of experience caring for children of various ages, from infants to school-aged kids. During this time, I've worked with families in both casual and long-term positions, including after-school care, weekend babysitting, and occasional overnight stays. 🎒🩶 I bring a calm, patient, and responsible attitude to every job. I’m also creative and love planning engaging activities like crafts, storytelling, and outdoor play. 🎨 My goal is always to make sure children feel safe, supported, and happy while their parents are away. 🌿☀️
