Michelle 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child

I’m Michelle and I’m very good with children. I have been working as a nanny for the past 5 years and I have plenty of experience caring for children and seeking to deliver child care excellence. I’m trustworthy, loyal, responsible, punctual, flexible and a loving and dedicated babysitter. I’m from Colombia so my native language is Spanish and I love to teach a second language to the children. I’m looking for a full time position (20-25 guaranteed hrs per week). I would love find a family who I could grow and partner and provide a happy and safe environment for the children.

“Michelle has worked as my full time Nanny for one year from 2025 - 2026. We have three Tweens with a very busy academic and extracurricular schedule. This job required a very organized individual with the ability to multi-task. Michelle stepped into her new role with ease. She was responsible for taking care of the children in all aspects. She was very organized getting the kids off to two different Schools and navigating a very busy after School schedule well into the evening. She was also responsible for all the food shopping for the household as well as some household errands. Michelle is a beautiful cook and was responsible for all 3 daily meals plus healthy snacks, five days a week. Michelle has always worked with integrity in all aspects of her role with us. One of her strongest attributes is her moral character. She is extremely mature for her age and carries herself with confidence. She always kept a close eye on my children ensuring their safety. She is a very competent driver, often driving my children in the evening free of incident. We also have a dog that she cared for lovingly. Lastly, Michelle is a very warm and kind individual. She has a great sense of humor and the kids have always enjoyed playing with her so. My kids have grown to love her and we will all sorely miss her being in our home. I highly recommend Michelle in any capacity involving the caretaking and welfare of children.”

Celia $18 per hour for 1 child

I am from Stamford I currently work full time as an accountant. I am very family oriented and love children. I started baby sitting when I was 12, and have babysat both on an “as-needed” basis and full-time. I love all ages, though I have the most experience working with newborn-toddler ages. I love being active, which is my favorite part of nannying/babysitting.
