Dhespina Plantsville
$20 per hour for 1 child

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***

Booked by 1 family in Cobalt, CT

I have experience caring for school-age children, about 4 years old and up, and I’m also comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. With kids, I’m happy to help with playtime, crafts, outdoor activities, homework, meals, and keeping their normal routine going. I try to be patient, calm, and easygoing while still making sure everyone is safe and cared for. I also love dogs and have experience with walking, feeding, playing, and giving them attention based on their personality and needs. I’m comfortable with different energy levels and know how important it is to follow each family’s routine. Families can expect me to be dependable, respectful of their home, and attentive to both children and pets.

Caitlin is extremely reliable, has a lot of experience with kids and pets, has a fantastic handle on any emergency situation that may arise, would highly recommend her for any sitting. She has a love for both kids and pets
