Allison V., Babysitter in Smithfield, RI 02917 with 8 years of paid experience

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!

Hello Families, I am updated on all Vaccinations. *I'm sorry I will not provide any families transportation.* I have had experience with CPR and first aid as well and can use those skills if it was needed. My rate $14-$20 is mainly for locals here in west warwick. $20 for 3 or more children in west warwick. 💖 I can accommodate children with special needs. As I have years experience caring for four individual families who have an autistic child ages from 2yrs-12yrs old. Also have experience with children with ADD and separation anxiety. No matter the age I enjoy being apart of your child's day. 🌞Mini Bio: My name is Ashley. Started babysitting at age of 16 for family and friends of the family. Then when those children outgrew me , I found sittercity and got alot my jobs here . I've done PET sitting, house sitting, and babysitting. Most families I been lucky watch the kids until they outgrown needing me, or sometimes I get one day jobs with families that are just visiting Rhode Island needing a sitter. Thank You & Hope to hear from you soon!

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.
