Hi there! I'm 22 and a senior at Rhode Island College. I have been babysitting since the age of 16 and I am also a dance teacher and an older sibling (ten years apart) so I certainly work with kids on a daily basis! I have covered just about every age group, I currently have a family with a six year old girl and a ten year old boy and another family with a two year old girl, but I've been with just about every age. I'm comfortable with infants and great at keeping toddlers entertained. If you're looking for someone experienced, look no further!

Caitlan L.
- 2 years paid experience
- 13 miles

Hello, my name is Caitlan. I am 24 years old and have been working with Autism/behavioral children directly at an ABA center for about 2 years working. The center I work for is play-based/ child-led, which teaches great play skills, especially for children who have difficulty with socialization. I have also, been babysitting since I was in high school for family and friends, which leads me to have experienced with working with toddlers directly as well as preteen/adolescents. I also have some experience with infants. I also have experience with potty training, meal prepping, housing keeping and changing diapers . Now for a little about myself, I grew up in the Caribbean an small island called Trinidad and Tobago. I love to do art and craft, sports related activities like soccer and basketball, pretend play/ dress up and most important I love to have fun. I am very family oriented and I believe is protecting the safety of all children. For my education, I graduated college with my bachelors in health sciences in 2023 and that same year I completed some occupational therapy school, with the hopes of becoming a BCBA one day. In conclusion, I will love to work with you and your family. I think I would be a great fit. I am also an open book, so if you ever have any questions I am willing to answer any and all.

Tami L.
- 20 years paid experience
- 12 miles

Hi, My name is Tami. I've been able to have the opportunity to have had a variety of experiences which has allowed for a wide range of skill sets. Along with a wide range of skill sets, my age has allowed for maturity and patience. I started babysitting at the age of 11 and carried this through into several Nanny jobs while in college. If you are seeking the occasional date night, please do reach out. Flexible and available. Trust me your kiddos will be well care for. I have had the opportunity of teaching in a preschool/toddler classroom for about 20 years (in total), also spending time in the infant room and my favorite the toddler classrooms! Those classrooms were integrated with special need programs as well. Classroom experiences encourage variety, quick thinking and spontaneity. I've also had other job experiences that required more administrative skill sets. I stepped down from a residential supervisor position of a group home, in December 2012. This position was very demanding which homed in on skills of being capable to multitask and the ability to handle almost any type of emergency. If you are needing a "house manager" along with childcare, I am confident we can work that out as well. I think you will find my skills, my personality and my enjoyment of being around children as an asset. I do currently have my certification for Early Education. Easy to work with. Looking forward to talking with you and will provide more information when needed. Currently CPR and First Aid Certified. I have not run a background check on myself currently as they expire so quickly. They are only good for so long and given my past work and volunteer experiences, this has been done many times. I have volunteered at our Church Sunday School Programs, Special Olympics CT chapter, Volunteer at PAWS Cat/Kitten Shelter. References are available upon request

Meagan M.
- 15 years paid experience
- 11 miles

My name is Meagan. I am 31 years old old. I grew up in Franklin but currently live in West Roxbury with my husband. I started working with children when I was about 11 just babysitting for neighbors and cousins. When I reached high school, I realized that working wtih children was something that I wanted to pursue. I went to a vocational school and got the training I needed to become a certified prescool teacher. I then went on to go to college and continue to puruse Education. All through college I either nannyed or worked in daycares. I love working with children and seeing the excitment on their faces when they discover something new or concour something they have been trying to for a long time. Most of my experience is with children 5 and under but I am comfortable with all ages. I don't have any of my own children but hope to in the future. I try to stay active when working and when I am home. I love to be outdoors, do arts and crafts, puzzles, reading, pretty much anything children like to do I do as well.
