Hi there! My name is Casey. I'm a sophmore at Emerson College, but I spent summers and holidays in Rhode Island. I have three years of professional babysitting experience, though I've been babysitting for family much longer. I hope to be a positive influence in your child's life and make yours just a bit easier.

Hellen was God-sent to me with my twin daughters. She started with us since they were 6 months old and was such a kind and caring babysitter. She is reliable and consistent and communicates very well. She also takes feedback well. The girls loved her and still mention her name. Anyone would be lucky to have her.

Why I Love Being a Sitter I’ve always loved caring for children—it comes naturally to me. As a mom of two and a former teacher, I know how important it is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel seen and supported. I genuinely enjoy helping children grow, learn, and explore their unique personalities. Whether we’re reading stories, doing crafts, or just sharing a laugh, I find so much joy in building those special bonds. ⸻ My Experience My childcare journey started early—babysitting as a teen, then working summers as a camp counselor and certified lifeguard. I went on to earn a Master’s in Elementary Education and spent years teaching kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 6th grade. I also led the tennis program at Deer Mountain Day Camp, working with kids of all ages and skill levels. I’ve supported children in all stages of development and feel confident handling routines, schoolwork, playtime, and everything in between. ⸻ My Skills & Training    •   Master’s Degree in Elementary Education    •   Certified Lifeguard (past)    •   CPR & First Aid knowledge    •   Strong classroom management and communication skills    •   Experience with children from infants to pre-teens     I’m patient, attentive, and calm under pressure—qualities that help children feel secure and help parents feel at ease. I’m currently looking for a part-time position that could grow into something more consistent or full-time down the line. I bring warmth, structure, and years of hands-on experience, and I’d love to find a family I can build a lasting relationship with.

Lisa has been a big help with my toddler while I work remotely. She is always readily available and arrives with a big smile. You can tell she truly enjoys teaching through play and caring for children. I know my child is safe and happy when they play together, and that makes me feel great.

We feel so lucky to have Laila caring for our little one full-time. Being a mom of four herself, her experience shines through in every interaction, but she’s also wonderfully respectful of how we want to raise our child and follows our routines effortlessly. She is incredibly attentive, kind, and always manages to get big smiles out of our baby. Any family would be lucky to have her!

I used Sittercity for the first time and was honestly super hesitant about booking someone, but I’m so glad I found Jennifer! From the moment my daughter saw her, she seemed to pick up on Jennifer’s energy right away and was happy and comfortable with her the entire time. That gave me such peace of mind, especially since this was my first time using the app. This was also a very last-minute request, but Jennifer was available, responded to my initial message so quickly, and was incredibly responsive anytime I had a question. She was so sweet, attentive, and great with my daughter. Honestly, I’m almost glad my original babysitter fell through because it led me to Jennifer! She is definitely someone I will be booking again in the future. I highly recommend her!

I am highly recommend Sandra R. to anyone needing childcare based on her time working with our family as an after-school caregiver and driver for our son. Sandra was responsible for picking up our 5-year-old son from preschool each weekday and safely transporting him home. From the very beginning, she demonstrated professionalism, reliability, and genuine care for our child. Before accepting the position, Sandra requested to meet our family in person, which immediately showed her commitment to ensuring a good fit and establishing trust with both parents and child. Throughout the time she worked with us, Sandra was exceptionally dependable. She was always punctual and, most importantly, she never canceled on us. As working parents, knowing we could count on her every day provided tremendous peace of mind. On the rare occasions when our plans changed unexpectedly, Sandra was flexible and accommodating, making every effort to help us adjust on short notice. Sandra has a natural ability to connect with children. She consistently engaged our son in conversation, making the daily pickup and ride home an enjoyable experience rather than just a transportation service. He looked forward to seeing her each day and was always comfortable in her care. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being and happiness. In addition to being reliable and caring, Sandra frequently went above and beyond what was expected. On several occasions, she thoughtfully brought homemade food for our family, a gesture that reflected her kindness and generosity. Her warmth and dedication were evident in everything she did. Sandra was always professional, trustworthy, and safety-conscious. Her background in education and extensive childcare experience were apparent in the way she interacted with our child and handled her responsibilities. We always felt confident that our son was in safe and capable hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Sandra to any family seeking a dependable, caring, and experienced caregiver. She has been a wonderful support to our family, and I am confident she will be an asset to any household fortunate enough to work with her. Sincerely, Craig Pearl River, NY

We would definitely recommend Suzanne. We had her help out primarily with a one-year-old, while the parents were around but enjoying a big 40th birthday celebration. Suzanne kept the baby safe when he wanted to explore the pool and keeping him entertained so his parents could enjoy the weekend. She was patient and attentive, and really everything we needed. Thanks, Suzanne!
