I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy connecting with children and supporting their emotional and developmental growth. Every child is unique, and I find joy in helping them explore the world through play, daily routine, and gentle communication. I believe that warm relationships and emotional safety are the foundation for healthy development. While I haven’t worked as a traditional babysitter, I’ve spent many years creating and delivering in-home developmental play sessions for children. These sessions typically lasted 1–3 hours and were focused on emotional engagement, communication, and age-appropriate play. I know what it's like to work in a family’s home, to interact respectfully with parents and children, and to handle real-life situations calmly. In many cases, parents felt comfortable enough to leave the home while I worked with their child — trusting me to create a safe and nurturing environment. I have over 10 years of experience working Read more with children of different ages, including infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, as well as children with developmental differences such as autism. My background includes working in early intervention centers, supporting families in private practice, and providing parent coaching. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and have completed specialized training in child-centered play therapy and DIRFloortime® — a developmental approach for children with communication and sensory needs. I’m also CPR/AED and First Aid certified. I speak Russian and English and enjoy supporting bilingual families or introducing young children to a second language through natural interaction. Families describe me as calm, responsible, and deeply attentive to each child’s individual rhythm and needs. I am currently available for part-time or occasional care in Boca Raton and nearby areas.
