Hi! I’m Valerie—an experienced babysitter and former kindergarten teacher with a genuine love for working with kids. I’ve cared for children of all ages and am especially comfortable with routines like school pick-ups, homework help, meals, bath time, and bedtime. I focus on keeping kids safe, engaged, and happy while also giving parents peace of mind. I’m reliable, patient, and calm under pressure (yes, even during last-minute or emergency requests). I bring a structured but fun approach—games, creative play, and learning mixed in naturally without feeling like school. I communicate well with parents and always respect household rules and routines. I’m available for date nights, short-term care, overnights, and quick gigs. Flexible schedule, dependable, and ready to help when you need it most. I’m certified in DCF 45, CPR, and First Aid, so you can relax knowing your little ones are in safe hands!!

We first met Valerie at our son’s school when she was so caring during his tough transition into kindergarten. Valerie is very caring, patient, and kind to our boys. We love having her babysit our boys!

Valerie is great! She helped take care of our 18 month old little boy last minute with very little advanced notice. She is very personable and she has a lot of experience so you can feel comfortable she knows what she is doing. I can tell our baby felt comfortable with her. She did everything we asked and when he seemed a bit fussy, she let me know right away which I really appreciate. Highly recommend and will definitely be hiring Valerie again in the future.
