Samantha B., Babysitter in Oakland, RI 02858 with 10 years of paid experience

Hello, my name is Samantha Berard! I'm 30 years old and I currently live in Pawtucket Rhode Island. I studied Early Childhood and Elementary Education at Rhode Island College and also took a few classes at Fisher College. While I was in college, I nannied for a family of four children that were all under the age of 10- which was a blast! For the past 8 years I've worked at an Early Learning Center in North Attleboro. I am a preschool and infant/toddler certified teacher. I am also CPR and first aid certified. I am very passionate about working with children and the impression that I leave on them. I try my best to make every day a positive and fun experience for the children. I would use the words patient, engaging, and compassionate to describe how I interact with children. I'm very familiar with age appropriate activities for all age groups and I enjoy thinking of creative ways they can learn and grow. I do own my own reliable car. I also am willing to help with any household services that would be needed. I'm also a pet lover and very comfortable with being around animals! Thank you so much for your time and please feel free to contact me!

Located in wrentham I have been a dedicated nanny for over a year, caring for three children ages 3 to 15. My responsibilities include school drop-offs and pick-ups, helping with homework, and transporting them to various activities. During the summer, I spent full days with them, organizing tutoring sessions and fun outings. In addition to this role, I have experience babysitting toddlers during college and helping care for my younger cousins, ranging in age from 1 to 12, in my large family. I am CPR certified and passionate about working with children, finding joy in supporting families and creating a positive environment for the kids I care for.

Caroline  A., Babysitter in Oakland, RI 02858 with 2 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Caroline, and I have years of experience working with children through teaching, nannying, and babysitting. I graduated from Fitchburg State University with a degree in Early Childhood Education, which has given me a strong understanding of child development and creating positive, engaging environments for children of all ages. For the past two years, I’ve been a full-time nanny for one family, where I’ve helped manage daily routines, planned activities, supported learning and development, and created a safe and nurturing environment for the children. This experience has strengthened my ability to be dependable, patient, organized, and adaptable to each child’s unique needs. I’m passionate about providing a fun, caring, and supportive atmosphere where children feel comfortable and encouraged to learn and grow. I enjoy planning creative activities, helping with homework and routines, and keeping kids active and engaged throughout the day. Families would describe me as reliable, caring, easy to communicate with, and trustworthy. I’m currently looking for babysitting opportunities and would love to connect with a family that’s a great fit!

Caroline was great! Our little guy loved when she would come over and play! She was always punctual and would even bring toys and gifts to help entertain him.

My name is Leah but everyone calls me Pigeon, and I am an experienced nanny based in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. First, I’d like to thank you for taking the time to read this post. Caring for children is not just a job for me — it’s my career, and I have been passionate and dedicated to it for over 25 years. I was recently laid off by one of my long-term families, which means I now have availability for a new family in need of dependable, compassionate childcare. I am certified in CPR, the Heimlich maneuver, and First Aid. I also have extensive experience working with children with special needs, and I pride myself on being an excellent communicator with children of all abilities. As an artist and creative person, I love coming up with unique, age-appropriate activities that keep children engaged, learning, and having fun. I encourage imaginative play, creativity, and educational enrichment. I also have experience working in homes that limit or do not allow electronic devices, if that aligns with your family’s values. I truly believe the world is only as good as its next generation. Let’s work together to help create a beautiful future for your children. If this resonates with you, please feel free to send me a direct message. I would love to connect. — Pidge

There are not enough praises and accolades to use to describe what a blessing Pidgeon has been in our lives! The care they have provided to our disabled daughter is beyond exemplary. Pidgeon is the BEST mother’s helper imaginable. Always dependable, upbeat and energetic, knowledgeable, compassionate, trustworthy and genuine- my daughter THRIVES with Pidgeon as her caregiver. Please, give yourself and your children the gift of such a marvelous helper; you will not regret it!

Oluwatoyin (Toyin) has been wonderful with our 14-month-old and 5-year-old. She’s attentive, always on time, and very responsive in her communication. The kids love her—she engages them in fun, age-appropriate activities. She’s reliable, caring, and we look forward to working with her again.

Hi! My name is Leilanies, and I’m a warm, dependable, and caring childcare provider with years of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages. I’ve been caring for children since I was young, including helping raise my younger siblings and providing paid babysitting for families outside of my own since high school. I genuinely enjoy being around children and creating a safe, positive, and comfortable environment where they can feel supported, have fun, and be themselves. I’m comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children, including children with different needs and personalities. I can help with daily routines, meals and snacks, bath time, playtime, reading, age-appropriate activities, outings, and light child-related housekeeping. I’m attentive to each child’s individual needs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, communication, and reliability. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and am currently in school. I’m looking to build a long-term relationship with a family where I can become someone they truly trust and rely on. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care and make each family’s day a little easier. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and see how I can be a great fit for your childcare needs.
