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.

daniella $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! My name is Daniella, and caring for children is something I love, not just a job, but something I take pride in. I have several years of hands-on babysitting experience caring for children of various ages, from infants and toddlers to school-aged kids. I’ve worked with families long-term and on an as-needed basis, which has taught me how to adapt quickly to each child’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I’m a responsible, patient, and nurturing caregiver who believes children thrive best when they feel safe, understood, and encouraged. I’m great at building strong connections with kids while also maintaining structure and clear boundaries that parents can trust. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, sticking to bedtime routines, or keeping kids engaged with creative activities, I always aim to make time together both fun and meaningful. I bring a calm, positive energy into every home and pride myself on being dependable, organized, and communicative with parents. I’m attentive, safety-focused, and always proactive, anticipating needs before they become problems. Parents often describe me as trustworthy, warm, and someone their children feel comfortable with right away. Some of my strengths include, creating fun, screen-free activities (arts & crafts, games, reading, outdoor play), helping with homework and supporting learning, maintaining routines and bedtime schedules, handling multiple children with patience and care, being reliable, punctual, and respectful of family values. Above all, I care deeply about the well-being of the children I look after. I strive to be someone parents can fully rely on and someone kids genuinely enjoy spending time with. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide your children with safe, attentive, and loving care.

I’m a preschool teacher with several years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns and infants to older kids. I’m fluent in both Spanish and English and passionate about creating age-appropriate activities that support learning and fun. I love doing arts and crafts, role-play games, cooking simple recipes with children, and having fun dance parties that keep them active and happy. I’m patient, responsible, and nurturing, always focused on creating a safe and positive environment. I’m also comfortable with basic household cleaning and have daily experience caring for dogs, including walking and feeding them. Families describe me as trustworthy, warm, and highly attentive to children’s needs.
