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.

Hi! I am a 28 year old living in Stamford, CT. I work part time remote from my apartment with a very flexible schedule. I have been babysitting for the past 10 years.. have babysat up to 5 children at a time, and have babysat for all ages. I was also a nanny for a family for two years where I helped raise their newborn until she was two years old. Certified in CPR, AED and First Aid. I'd like nothing more than to make sure your kids are well taken care of while you're either away or at home. Please let me know if you have any questions, I'm more than happy to answer. I have my own car with a clean record, good insurance, and am willing to provide references.

We only worked with Kelli once before we moved, but the one time she met our son and babysat for us, she was great. He was around 10 months old with a little separation anxiety still and he played well with her with no challenges. We loved how he took to her and we felt like we could trust her with our kiddo. Thanks, Kelli!

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!

Hello! I've been babysitting and taking care of children most of my life. I grew up in a house with two younger sisters and two younger brothers so I've had the experience of taking care of children at a young age. I have also been a swim instructor for about five years so I've had the experience of teaching many kids at all different ages. I am also CPR certified and I'm attending college online. I love arts and crafts, playing outside, helping with homework, and I also love baking. I am very friendly and love watching children.

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!
