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.

I am a babysitter with full charge nanny experience with excellent references. I have experience with newborns, toddlers and school aged children. I am C.P.R. certified . Experience with special needs , food allergies , and comfortable with pets. I am reliable , mature, honest , and I have lots of patience.

Carrie M., Babysitter in Newport, RI 02840 with 15 years of paid experience

I have been a child care provider for over years. I started out at a childcare center and it was there that I was offered a Nanny position. And I never looked back. It has been so rewarding to be part of a family and care for children of all ages. And include them in mine with my son. Over the years I have taken child care certification courses, CPR courses and kept them updated. I believe my years of experience and love of children and what I do speaks for itself once you get to know me. Safety is my first rule of thumb. thank you

Grace S., Babysitter in Newport, RI 02840 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m currently a college student majoring in Psychology with a minor in Education. Over the past few years, I’ve gained valuable experience working with children of various ages. I’ve spent two summers at a day camp working closely with kids aged 4–6, and prior to that, I worked in an elementary school aftercare program with children ages 5–10. Additionally, I’ve spent two summers at a sleepaway camp where I worked with teenagers, actively participating in their activities and contributing to a leadership development program. I’m energetic, passionate, and deeply committed to supporting and engaging with children in meaningful ways. I'm excited for the opportunity to continue making a positive impact!

We’ve had such a great experience with Grace! She is incredibly sweet, attentive, and genuinely cares about my child. She’s always willing to help with whatever I need and brings such a kind, positive energy every time she’s here. My 6-year-old absolutely loves spending time with her, which gives me so much peace of mind. I’m so happy we found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.

Lisa cared for my youngest son one a day a week for 3 hours. She also watched both my boys (2 and 6yrs) on occasional weekend or week nights. She was a very dependable caregiver for the 9 months she worked for us. I would recommend Lisa for any job working with children. She did a fantastic job with my two energetic boys, always keeping them busy with games or craft projects. Lisa was qualified to oversee all daily activities when caring for my children. I would gladly recommend Lisa and personally use her again if ever in the same location.

I would recommend Delia to any family. She was great was both of my girls (20 months & 5 yo). She arrived on time and asked the right questions about care of the children. I would definitely hire her again.

Heather W., Babysitter in Newport, RI 02840 with 20 years of paid experience

My name is Heather Wall and I'm a proud mom of two great college students. I am RI Early Learning Standards and CPR/1st Aid certified and have been employed as a preschool teacher, a full-time nanny/family manager, overnight care provider and have owned a family entertainment/party venue for young children. For the past few years I have been involved in a nanny-share arrangement working from a large dedicated space in my home for a few families with children who are now aged 18 months to 3 years old. At this time I am able to take an additional child on Monday and Thursday after 11:30 a.m. and anytime on Tuesdays or Fridays. I am also happy to provide childcare in your home on evenings or weekends anywhere in NK, Saunderstown, North Narragansett, SK or Exeter. I have or course taken a plethora of classes in childcare, behavior management, etc. and have plenty of of tricks up my sleeve to keep kids entertained and redirect negative behaviors when needed. Several of the families that have attended my preschool program have used me to care for their children for weekends while they were away or as overnight sitter when needed. I'm comfortable with food allergies, infant led weaning , ASD and ADHD management/protocols and happy to be in a home with pets. In my free time I enjoy hiking, skiing, kayaking and paddle boarding. I look forward to hearing from you and encourage you to ask to speak to any of my former employers for more information about me.

Heather has been amazing. She is professional, prompt, amenable and the kids have had a great time with her. She brings something to do with the kids like arts and crafts which they love and its been seamless with the baby and her.
