I am a first year college student. I am very responsible and balance work, volleyball and my academics all together. I love working with kids.

.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.

Hi, my name is kri for short. I’m 19 year old high school graduate. I’m family oriented and grown around kid and infant. I love working with kids, been doing it for years and I’m ready to work I’m very goofy and energetic.

Hi, I’m Emilie! I’ve spent a lot of time caring for kids of all ages, including regularly babysitting a baby from 3 to 9 months old and helping with feedings, naps, and daily routines. I also come from a big family with lots of little ones and I’m the oldest of three siblings, so looking after babies and kids has always been part of my life. On top of that, I worked as a para with special needs kindergarteners, which taught me patience, adaptability, and how to create a safe and supportive environment for every child. I’ve also helped elementary-aged kids with homework and fun activities, and my mix of tutoring and hands-on care has made me reliable, caring, and ready to help you and your family!!!

I am a well equipped babysitter with many years of experience. I have watched kids from a few days old to around 12 years old. Make sure kids are well taken care of and make sure house is cleaner then you left it!

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.

I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old, currently 23. I have also worked at many daycares/preschools so I have experience with all ages. I have had First Aid and CPR training.

I am a graduating high school senior with almost three years of child care experience! I also have a younger brother that is five years younger than I whom I’ve babysat growing up. I enjoy engaging with his friends playing sports, watching movies, etc… I am going to college for elementary education and have assistant taught at the kindergarten through third grade levels. In the last two years I have babysat for a family with a 1 and 3 year old, as well as a family with a newborn, 3, 4 and 7 year olds. I have a passion for teaching and helping kids grow! I am a patient, creative, and kind person. I am also currently taking a first aid/cpr training class and will be certified in a month. I have experience with diaper changing, doing activities/homework with kids, preparing meals, and I also have a car! I am looking for a summer nannying/babysitting job, please feel free to reach out!
