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.

Kelli S., Child Care in New Canaan, CT 06840 with 8 years of paid experience

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!

I am an experienced and dependable caregiver with a lifelong passion for working with children. As a mother of four adult children, I bring both personal and professional experience to my role. I have spent over 20 years working in Faith Formation, currently serving as a Catechist and Program Coordinator, and have also worked as a Sunday school teacher and Religious Education Director. My background includes caring for children of all ages, including those with special needs. I am a former EMT-B and am certified in CPR/AED and First Aid, so safety is always a top priority. I am currently seeking a part-time babysitting position in the late afternoons, evenings, or occasional weekends. I truly enjoy supporting families and creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment for children.

I have been running apartment buildings for the last 30 years. Besides dealing with buildings, I have had to deal with the residents cleaning people, contractors health aides, etc.. Some of which can be less than desirable to have on property. Alice was one of those rare caretakers who I felt lucky to have caring for a 94 year old resident of the 26 unit apartment building I was working at. Other residents of the 7 story building, including our 101 and 102 year old residents, were always happy when Alice was on site. They trusted her and felt safe when she was around. They enjoyed her company and looked forward to seeing her. As I got to know Alice, I fully understood why she was so highly regarded. Integrity, honesty, and her ability to not just listen, but to hear what people where telling her. Then respond to their needs in a compassionate, caring manner. Food shopping, doctors appointments, just getting a senior out in the fresh air etc. It was obvious her presence was greatly valued by the lives she touched. I could go on and on about what a stand out caretaker she was. Sometimes though, less is actually more. Alice is quite simply exceptional. That says it all.
