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.

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., Nanny 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.

Emily B., Nanny in New Canaan, CT 06840 with 12 years of paid experience

Hi, I’m Emily! I’ve been babysitting for over a decade, starting at 18 when I cared for a family with two young boys and a newborn — eventually becoming their go-to sitter all the way through middle school. Since then, I’ve supported many families with children of all ages, from infants to teens, and have always found joy in creating a safe, engaging, and dependable environment for kids to thrive. Right now, I’m in a flexible phase of my career, which gives me availability during afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My husband and I live locally in Norwalk and are planning to start our own family soon, so I understand the importance of finding someone you can truly trust with your children. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, very comfortable with pets, and known for being both reliable and fun. Whether it’s handling bedtime routines, managing multiple children, or encouraging creative play, I bring a calm, caring, and capable presence to every home I work with.

Hi! My name is Marlenne. I am 23 ,I am fun, charismatic, caring, and very driven. Even though I am young I can promise you I am very mature for my age and very responsible for work. My previous work has been 3 years at my three sons, 2 cashier/food jobs, and many babysitter/nanny jobs for about five years total. I love kids and I have had many one on one experiences with the kids especially because I was a party host at my three sons and I have taken care of MANY kids from the age 5 months-12 years old. I have many references and I have even worked with special needs kids. I would love the opportunity to be a part and work for a nice loving family.
