.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.

Hello, I am Jacarra, I am 27 years old and I love what I do. I’ve been babysitting for about 10 years and I’ve worked in a daycare for a couple years. Some duties I’ve had over the years as a babysitter included ensuring a safe environment, I would prepare and serve meals, bathed and dressed children if needed. Do lots of arts and crafts, playing outside and going to parks and beaches in the summer time! If they needed medicine, checked on allergies with parents, helped with homework and anything else needed. I currently clean houses so wouldn’t mind tidying up some. If you have any questions feel free to message me!

I have worked with children most of my life. I used to babysit for neighborhood children when I was growing up. I then went to college for Business Administration but also completed the requirements for teacher certification in Pre-K to Grade 2. I worked for several years with Head Start and then at a child development center (for more than 12 years) in several roles from teaching to administration. I am a mom of a college student and now have more time on my hands so I would like to get back to working with young children again.

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.

Hello, my name is Anya and I’m currently a student at Drake University in Des Moines, IA. I’m 22 yo and am from St. Louis, MO. I just moved to Connecticut for an internship with my graduate program for the semester. I am exciting to start my new journey and childcare has been something to ground me throughout my academic career so finding a family I can help during my stay, will make this an even more enjoyable experience. My most recent experience is with a family of 3 kids (3 yo, 5 yo, and 9 yo) and another family of 3 (1 yo twins, 3 yo), but have previously worked at a daycare (ages 9 months to 12 yo) and babysit numerous families on weekends and throughout the week when I am available, so I am comfortable and experienced with all ages.

Hi! I am Maria! I am one of six children. I was home schooled. I was nine years old for my first paid babysitting job! I have experience working as a nanny in South Carolina for a family of seven children!! I also worked as a live-in nanny in Washington DC during my college summer breaks. I worked with children from infancy to young teenagers. I have experience tutoring children in math and reading as well as giving piano and sewing lessons. I love to play games, sports, and read books. One of my funnest nanny jobs was working for a family of nine boys in Northfield, Massachusetts. I was on my toes the whole time! I worked a summer for a preschool in Agawam, MA. It was fun and crazy and it gave me experience working with a severely autistic child. She was AMAZING! Hope to hear from you. I would love to help out.
