Dhespina H.
- 4 years paid experience
- 14 miles
Hello! My name is Dhespina, and I babysit three children (ages 6, 11, and 14) every weekday morning, Monday through Friday. I started babysitting the kids in January 2025. My responsibilities include waking the children up for school, helping the youngest get dressed and brush his teeth, making sure they’ve had breakfast, packing their lunches, and getting all three to school on time. In the afternoons, I pick them up from school, take them to appointments when needed, and occasionally stay after school to babysit. I love babysitting because I genuinely enjoy being around children. It doesn’t feel like work to me, but something that comes naturally because of how much I enjoy it. ***CERTIFIED IN ADULT, CHILD AND INFANT, PEDIATRIC CPR/AED & FIRST AID***

Hi, my name is Kim. I live in Bristol. I love children and have 2 amazing kids of my own, 27 & 30 year old boys. I have my own transportation. I am reliable and I'm always on time (most of the time early). Since I am a mom I understand schedules, feeding and cleanliness. I understand how important interactions and respect are with the development of little ones. I feel I would be a great asset to your family. I look forward to hearing back from you to discuss the position in more detail. My email is kplourde13@mail.com. I babysat all the time when I was younger, I worked at great beginnings in Plainville after high school. I was a CNA for years. I worked at Hospital for Special Care, as a recruitment specialist but would do one on one care on the pediatric floor, with the critically ill infants and toddlers.

Hi there! My name is Anisa, and I have a deep passion for working with children. Growing up in Jamaica and currently being a college student, I've had the joy of interacting with children from diverse backgrounds, enriching my understanding and approach to childcare. I love working with children because of the joy and energy they bring into the world. There's nothing more fulfilling than witnessing a child's curiosity and creativity blossom. I believe in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment where children feel safe and encouraged to explore and learn. I have significant experience in childcare, including babysitting and volunteering. During high school, I volunteered at a nursing home in Jamaica, where I developed essential skills in patience and compassion. Additionally, my academic pursuits have given me valuable insights into child development and effective communication.

Hello, my name is Sarah. I’m 25 years old and currently seeking an after school part-time position where I can bring my energy, creativity, and experience to a warm family environment. I have extensive hands on experience caring for children of different ages and developmental stages, and I take pride in being a reliable, honest, and nurturing caregiver. My approach to childcare blends responsibility with fun. I love spending time outdoors, encouraging imaginative play, and engaging children in creative projects. Cooking and artistic activities are among my favorite hobbies, and I enjoy sharing them with the children I care for. I’m also glad to help with light household tasks such as tidying, laundry, and errands. In addition to general childcare, I have experience supporting children in special education, including those on the spectrum. I strive to be patient and supportive through each stage of a child’s growth. It’s also very important to me to work with an inclusive, LGBTQ+ friendly family that values kindness, respect, and acceptance for all.

I'm a energetic, fun, trustworthy, responsible and mature adult willing to create a friendship with the children and family. I enjoy reading, teaching, and doing projects with children. I take pride in teaching children new things, making them laugh and creating a peaceful, caring environment. I would be able to drive if needed since I have my own reliable vehicle. I enjoy animals and would be able to take them for walks or play with them. I'm also willing to assist the family with household tasks as needed. I will supply my reference information upon request. I am flexible with the rates and sure we could work out an arrangement based on the families needs.

I have worked with children from ages infants to eight years olds in a variety of child care settings for over 40 years. I have a masters’ degree in Early Childhood Education from Wheelock College in Boston. I have taken early retirement from a local community college where I was a Professor of ECE for many years. I have a passion for young children and I am amazed and enlightened by their curiosity, creativity, and their constant energy. I love reading to children, process oriented art, singing and dancing and spending as much time outside as possible. I am dedicated to encouraging children to be children and I have an in-depth understanding of typical child development. I am so excited to spend time with young children once again as a part time, occasional Nanny/Sitter.
