.Hi! My name is Cathy. I am a young-looking and young-acting retired special education teacher . I really miss the kids. I had been an honorary grandmother to a little girl and watched her one day a week from birth to kindergarten. I played with her both inside - playing board games/Legos/card games/Play-Doh, baked, did arts and crafts, watched Disney /educational videos and outside - going to the park,library, playground, children's museums, aquarium, beach. I have experience with infants and have taught grade ranges Kindergarten through high school. I am very friendly, responsible, caring, kind, cheerful, and hard-working. I have watched a 7 year old girl and 9 year old boy for almost a year until they moved , helping them with homework, playing outdoors, and going to parks, the zoo, movies, and kid's fun places. I have taken care of and nurtured a toddler from the time she was 3 months old until 2 years of age. We went on daily outings to the park, library, and children's museum. I have kept a daily journal for parents to enhance communication. I have had several dogs ( golden retrievers) and am pet-friendly. I am very hard-working, reliable, friendly, kind, supportive, and loyal.

Hello, I am Jacarra, I am 27 years old and I love what I do. I’ve been babysitting for about 10 years and iv’e worked in a daycare for a couple years. Some duties I’ve had over the years as a babysitter included ensuring a safe environment, I would prepare and serve meals, bathed and dressed children if needed. Do lots of arts and crafts, playing outside and going to parks and beaches in the summer time! If they needed medicine, checked on allergies with parents, helped with homework and anything else needed. I currently clean houses so wouldn’t mind tidying up some. If you have any questions feel free to message me!

I have worked with children most of my life. I used to babysit for neighborhood children when I was growing up. I then went to college for Business Administration but also completed the requirements for teacher certification in Pre-K to Grade 2. I worked for several years with Head Start and then at a child development center (for more than 12 years) in several roles from teaching to administration. I am a mom of a college student and now have more time on my hands so I would like to get back to working with young children again.

I am a mother of one daughter and grandmother of two; I have worked as a professional nanny for many years after working as a legal assistant. I am originally from Washington State and lived in Hawaii as well. I moved to Rhode Island and Connecticut, respectively, in '98. I enjoy children much more than administrative work, hence, I turned to childcare. I have had many long-term commitments, newborns on-up, twin infants in the mix, and special-needs (autistic;) I am blessed to still see the local, former families. (Although I am "seasoned," in age, I encourage prospective families to view me as bringing a grandmotherly-presence to children - able-bodied, yet mature and nurturing, with no personal commitments to conflict with a family's needs.) I am CPR/First Aid/AED certified (a given,) have a squeaky-clean DMV/BCI check and a non-smoker. Infant care: bottle-feedings, solid foods - all down pat... I have a passion for the arts - Broadway show tunes, children love them! I focus on age-appropriate activities, have collected a wealth of craft project archives and I am well-versed in children's literature; I am a Play-Doh goddess, good for the little ones. I am an avid animal-lover and am more than happy to attend to pet care needs. I am open to any questions you may have and references are readily available.

Hello, I am 26 years old and have been babysitting and taking care of children for a greater part of my life. Having a 15 year gap between my sister and I which naturally gave me many skill that have led me to thrive and enjoy the babysitting & nannying world. I am currently studying in univeristy and work part time in retail, I am seeking both steady or random opportunities to help families of all kind out. I fully understand the value of having good help to help parents take a moment to breathe or reconnect. It's my pleasure to be able to help with that relief. I don't have children of my own but I know one day I will also appreciate the same assistance. I have always loved being around children, they are so fun and bring out someof the brightness in the world. Even when theyare testing your patience, they are a wonder. I have a natural way with kids and I have yet to encounter a babysitting night that was unbearable. I typically watch 3 children at a time (infant, 3,6) so I feel like I am capable of most jobs. I love to keep the kids busy and tire them out so parents get to relax when they get home. I'm best at arts & crafts, reading, schoolwork, running around outside, and beach outings. I also specialize in infant care having my most recent jobs being overnight watching a newborn from 2months-14months and I was invited back to watch their next child as well. I have been a full time nanny/au pair in Italy and Romania for both families of 3 children as well. I maintained a proper schedule, cooked, schooled, and played with the children everyday for 6 months each contract, it was a beautiful and life changing experience. I am currently waiting for my photo to be approved, should be by 9/5! Please feel free to reach out with any questions!
