Iivanilde was super great, with my grandparents! They were both so grateful to have someone to care for them just how a family member would do, treat them like they were family and that is exactly what iivanilde did with my Nonna and papa. So thank you, iivanilde! From the bottom of my heart. I truly recommend her for others to hire. If you want someone that you think would feel like a family member she is the right candidate for the position to care for others in your house or department or hospital. She is super great, flexible, reliable and responsible. Super funny and joy to be around at all times!

Aarin was fantastic! She had a really calming presence with my daughter and seemed caring but professional. When I got home the house was tidier than I left it and my daughter was all smiles. Aarin was really prompt and clear in all our scheduling communications, which I appreciated. Definitely recommend!

Kader S., Child Care in New Canaan, CT 06840 with 7 years of paid experience

I worked full-time with six different lovely family and 8 splendid children -two baby-for seven years both in San Francisco and Istanbul, Turkey. I am a university graduate. I have experienced to teach and also learn a lot from children with love, respect, happiness and adventure. I love to take care of babies and children because I had beautiful and unexplained days that I get to witness: the first smiles, the small conquests of crawling, the big smiles, the unconditional love they show in every discovery. All these were extraordinary special to me. During my experience, I also performed light housekeeping, including cooking,and laundry for family. I managed the schedules of children including picnic, walk and play on the parks. Please feel free to contact with me. I can share my references information or recommendation letter. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Have a wonderful day :) Note: I am full vaccinated and boosted

Kader cares for our 5 month old infant. She is extremely attentive when caring for our son, always playing with him and engaging him. She always has a warm, calm, and pleasant attitude and we can really tell that our son responds well to her. We feel confident that our son is happy, safe, and well cared for with Kader. Kader is also extremely professional, responds to communications in a timely manner, and has been fantastic to work with overall. We would highly recommend her.

Hi, I'm shelly. I'm 28 years old and currently a nursing student. I have some availability in my schedule and decided to get back into nannying. I've been off of Sittercity for a couple years, hence my bare profile! But I used to babysit/ nanny kids ranging from ages one and up for years. I also have references available.

Cara is amazing! She interviewed me as much as I interviewed her. Cara really wanted to make certain, as did I, that she would be the best fit for my son and my family. What is so special about Cara is that she truly cares - last week she brought over pictures she developed from her time with my son over Spring Break. I mean, who goes to that trouble anymore? Cara does. She is a gem and your family would be very fortunate to have Cara as your next babysitter.

Eileen was amazing with my son! I hired her for a week to watch my 3yo son during work hours while his school was closed. She communicated well with me from the initial phone interview and throughout the engagement. From the moment she walked in the door she engaged my son. I work remotely and could hear them laughing and having a blast outside and around the house. I loved that she took initiative with him to get him outside and create fun activities for him. She made him lunch each day and got him eating some new things. She practiced Spanish with him. She was confident and proactive and gave me great peace of mind that he was in amazing hands. He looked forward to each day she was watching him and took EPIC naps because he was so tuckered out haha. Eileen became part of our family for the week and we were bummed when the week was over. we look forward to the next time we see her!

Leslie S., Child Care in New Canaan, CT 06840 with 20 years of paid experience

I am a 6th grade teacher in Bridgeport and am the mother of an 11 year old boy. I grew up in Greenwich and have lived in on the west coast, in Australia and England over the last 30 years. We have recently moved back to Ct to be closer to my family as my son grows up. I would be happy to take care of your children while you work, travel or just take some free time. I have a flexible schedule after school and on weekends. If the time and situation works well, my son would love to come with me and play with other children around his age too. I have a safe, reliable SUV and am fully insured. I'm happy to take the children out to play in the garden, at the park or the beach, play board games or arts and crafts at home too. I limit my child's screen time and am very happy for yours not to be on them while they are with me either. I have a pediatric first aid certification which I am scheduled to update soon. I have local references in Darien, Fairfield, Trumbull and Greenwich. Please feel free to email or call with any questions.

Leslie watched our toddler for us the day before my sibling’s wedding and she was truly a godsend. She took to our toddler right away and they played all day together. Leslie is patient, calm, and exceedingly kind. She was only with us for a day but she blended right in with our family like she had known us for years. I wish we lived in Connecticut so we could hire her more often.
