Allie N., Babysitter in Newport, RI 02840 with 8 years of paid experience

I am a caring young adult. In the past, I've worked as a substitute teacher in Warwick School District, K-12, where I gained valuable experience working with children of various ages. This background has helped me develop patience, creativity, and effective communication skills, all of which I bring to babysitting. Currently, I work in the medical field, which has further strengthened my ability to stay calm, think quickly, and ensure the safety and well-being of others. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or making sure your child is well cared for, I’m confident I can provide a fun and safe environment.

For 3 years I was sitting for a little boy who is now 6 yrs old . He was 2 months ( premature) when I started caring for him . When the child turned 3 years old, the family felt it was time for him to start daycare/ preschool therefore my last day was on Thursday, 11/30/18.

Along with sitting now I’m also a distributor for Nu Skin which is done on social media so I make my own hours . My heart is with caring for children however. Helping them reach their milestones no matter which age they are . Knowing that I am / was even a small part of each child’s growth and development throughout the years and watching them grow into intelligent, beautiful ( inside and out ) , caring individuals makes it all worth it! ** References and resume available upon request ** currently in the process of receiving my infant care specialist certification via online ** Currently have open availability including days , evenings, overnights weekends ( date nights and overnights including NYE ! ) ** parents must agree to guaranteed hours ( paid ) / 24 hr cancelation policy for date nights Rates are determined per sittercity calculations and are based on age and number of children, responsibilities, location / distance and experience

Working with kids has always been a passion of mine. Since Ive turned 12 I have taken any babysitting job offered. I have two nephews and a niece that I have helped take care of since birth. I have worked with kids of all ages through summer camps, clubs and babysitting. I am a current daycare teacher working primarily with infants and toddlers, however I have experience with all ages. Working with children is a very rewarding experience and something that I appreciate fully. Their positive outlook and imagination always makes me smile. I love to help children embrace their creativity while giving them comfort and safety at the same time.

I am a veteran elementary education teacher and educational leader who is taking a sabbatical from education. I still want to have an impact on the lives of children but without the bureaucracy. I am also happy to take care of any pets. What distinguishes me from other candidates is that I can provide engaging educational opportunities while caring for your child and help make your life easier and more manageable.

Kolby D., Babysitter in Newport, RI 02840 with 13 years of paid experience

Hi Families!! I am an experienced babysitter and nanny with over 13 years of experience. I began my sitting journey for my younger cousins and my younger sister. There is a significant age gap between myself and my cousins/sister (my sister and I have a 11 year age gap, and the closest cousin in age to me is 10 years younger than me). Because of this age gap, I have unique experience and provide a loving, caring, family centered approach to sitting. Once I became older and had a good amount of experience under my belt, I began sitting for family friends and eventually expanded my services to members of the community! I have experience sitting for newborns/infants, toddlers, school age children, middle school age children, high school age children, multiples (twins specifically), and children with special circumstances. I love meeting new children and families and understanding how I can help meet your needs. I am able to provide driving services to activities or to & from school, occasional weekend sitting, date night sitting, or a uniquely crafted schedule that would work for both parties. I previously worked as a part-time live in nanny. I am a master's educated working professional with a full time work from home job in fundraising consulting. I hold a BA in Political Science and a Master of Public Administration degree specializing in Non-Profit Management.

I am a twin mom located in Riverside, RI. I work full time as a behavior analyst at a school for students with autism and behavioral challenges. Currently I am in the process of completing my second masters program in educational leadership, so I am hoping to babysit for primarily for date nights/evenings or overnights, since my husband is always available to stay home with our girls during that time. In addition to being a mom and working professionally with children, I have several years (15+) of experience babysitting children of all ages with a variety of needs. I have always loved engaging with children of all ages to help them learn and grow. In my free time, my interests include anything outdoors, hiking, gardening, and yoga. I love fury friends as well. My certifications include both CPR and First Aid, and I hold a spotless driving record. I would love to meet you and your family if you think I could be a good fit!
