Sittercity helps Corinth families find the best babysitters

Hello, My name Katherine Blakely, I go to college at Castleton University and my major is nursing. My schedule is free on Fridays since I have one class, and on weekends I am free completely. I have my car, and during the past two summers I have been working at Waitsfield children’s center.

I’m a 22 year old with a passion of working kids of all ages but has a strong suit for infants and toddlers. I love doing arts and crafts, cleaning and organizing I am currently CPR & first aid certified and I’m looking to help in anyway possible wether it be potty training or learning read or write. I also love swim dance and sing and would love to get involved with kids more often. I have around 10 years of experience in child care and my top skills are bathing/ diaper changing, sleep training, house keeping. Looking forward to someone to reach out and set up a call.

Hi! My name is Effie Makris, and I’m a responsible, caring, and energetic babysitter with a genuine love for working with children. I have 3 years of experience caring for kids of all ages—from infants to pre-teens—and I always strive to create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning creative activities, or sticking to bedtime routines, I make it my goal to support each child’s unique needs while giving parents peace of mind. I’m reliable, patient, and communicative, and I believe in treating every family with kindness and respect. I’m available this summer/ fall, and I’d love the opportunity to meet your family!

I have cared for children for 15 years. During this time, I have worked as a private nanny, a babysitter and in a licensed childcare center and summer camp. I am a creative person who strongly believes that children benefit from experiencing an enriched environment that challenges them to grow in their skills, knowledge and self-esteem. Mutual respect and understanding of child development are important in developing relationships with children and their parents. I love children and interacting with them in ways that develop their curiosity and encourage them to be inquisitive learners.

Hi! My name is Christina. I ran a licensed family child care home for 15 years and am currently in a nanny share. The share will be ending late August due to my two main kiddos starting full day kindergarten. I am searching for my next family. I look forward to speaking with you!

I am a full time student at the University of New Haven looking for a weekend job. I grew up with six siblings, so I'm very well versed in childcare for a range of ages. I also spent some summers in high school babysitting family friends from time to time. I am CPR and first aid certified through the Red Cross. I am very responsible, patient and energetic. I love to be outdoors and doing fun activities, and I have some experience tutoring, so I am happy to help with homework if needed. I don't mind doing simple household chores such as laundry or dishes. I look forward to meeting you and your children!

I am a professional Nanny with 20+ years of childcare experience. I had a BS in Early Childhood Development from Keene State College and have raised two children of my own - an adult daughter and fourteen-year-old son. While I have worked as a Infant, Toddler and Preschool teacher, I prefer work as a Nanny so I can completely focus on one family and their children. I feel it is important to allow floor time for infants, to let them stretch out their bodies and I am with them, offering toys and talking to them and to encourage them to reaching out for toys, and moving their bodies. I love language development and have a way to encourage sounds and responses. I have the ability to calm any baby down quickly, I work on the calm checklist, is the baby hungry? wet? tired? needing cuddles? I believe toddlers require activities with sensory play. Simple crafts (using paints more for the 'feel' than any particular project) can be a great tool for this kind of development. Songs/game also grow in importance for continued language development. Preschoolers are actively learning letters, numbers, colors, and all about the world around them. Imaginative games and playing dress-up can help encourage social development while small-motor skills can be developed through coloring and cutting with scissors. Finally, learning to dress themselves (including outside clothes) is an important skill to develop as children prepare for Kindergarten. For all ages, I think reading and time outdoors in the fresh air are crucial. So, I work to make sure these are part of the daily routine. I also feel that children should have limited "screen time". I really love to support mothers! So, I will do light housekeeping and shopping if that is required. I also know how to make great, nutritional meals. A particular favorite are baked kale chips! What a great, savory flavor and crunch! I would like to work full time, but can consider part time. I am currently working but will be available in August 2016. I hope to hear from you. Nanny Nell
