Simone B., Babysitter in Oakland, RI 02858 with 6 years of paid experience

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.

After struggling to find reliable childcare during the pandemic, Stephanie was a breath of fresh air. She was punctual, helpful, and warm; my kids (ages 6, 3, and 1) liked her instantly. She kept my children very busy with arts and crafts projects, trips to the playground, and baking projects. She is very pleasant, and although we have arranged a different permanent childcare setup for the fall, I hope that Stephanie will continue to occasionally watch my kids as they will miss her.

We were incredibly happy with Morgan! She arrived on time, was patient and engaging with our two young children, and made sure they had a fun evening while following our routines perfectly. We felt completely comfortable leaving our kids in her care and would definitely book her again!

I’m currently looking for childcare-related jobs such as babysitting, tutoring, or after-school care where I can support families and create a safe, positive environment for kids. I have experience caring for children from newborns to age 16 through family care, church programs, and my AmeriCorps service in Atlanta, where I tutored and mentored middle school students. I’m a recent graduate student at Boston University School of Medicine and previously worked in biopharma as a quality control analyst. I’m also BLS certified and have a strong passion for working with kids. Outside of academics, I’ve raised two dogs and a parrot, and I love to read in my free time. My goal is to become a physician serving underrepresented communities, and I bring a nurturing, dependable, and community-focused mindset to everything I do

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.

Klaudie S., Babysitter in Oakland, RI 02858 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi, I am 28 years old with several years of childcare experience across different age groups, from infants to teenagers. I worked as an au pair in Ireland for 8 months, caring for two boys (ages 6 and 13). In Germany, I was a babysitter for 2 years, primarily caring for three children between 0–3 years old, which gave me strong experience with younger children and daily routines. At the moment, I am a full-time student in the USA. During the past year, I studied veterinary medicine, but I realized my true passion is caring for children. I have since switched my career path and am currently preparing for nursing school, with the goal of becoming a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in the future. I also have experience working as a nanny in the USA, where I helped with school drop-offs, after-school care, and full-day care when needed for two children (ages 1.5 and 9), making sure they stayed engaged, followed routines, and felt supported throughout the day. I also have 4 years of lifeguarding experience, am a strong swimmer, and am trained in CPR. I am comfortable supervising children around water and can help them build confidence with basic swimming skills. I am reliable, responsible, and organized, and I take my role seriously. I am also open to helping with light household tasks such as cleaning, dishes, and dog walking. 😊
