Hi parents! š Do you need a part-time sitter? Iām available for weekday/daytime childcare. Iām Luci, a recent Middlebury College graduate with degrees in Psychology (with a concentration in Child Development) and Studio Art. Iām also certified as a restorative justice facilitator and in child mental health crisis intervention. I have 4 years of experience babysitting for children ages 12 monthsā10 years. Iāve also taught art to young children in nonprofit early education settings. My approach to childcare aligns closely with the Montessori philosophy. I engage directly with children through play, encourage imagination and creativity, and am happy to take them to enrichment activities. If youāre looking for childcare or would like to chat more about what your family needs, feel free to reach out! Iād love to connect.
āwith luci, i experience a trust, ease, and grounded sense of responsibility in a caregiver. at the same time, luci is extremely light, creative, and finding fun with my 10 year old son. you'll see that luci is consistently accountable for her time as well as lovely, considerate, and understanding of the pivotal role she plays in the daily schedule and mind of a young child. highly recommend :)ā
Hello! My name is Jasmine and Iām offering babysitting services for all ages. I provide the perfect balance of fun, care, and routine. I know how important it is to make sure your kids stick to their routine, and Iāll be able to do that! Iām pretty funny and great at entertaining kids. Kids usually gravitate towards me! My inner child is very much alive so whether theyāre going to the park or staying home, Iāll make sure the kids are occupied with games, story time, or homework. I have no problem helping with homework! By the time you get home, the homework will be done and toys will be cleaned upā¦unless theyāre still playing of course. I went to Barnard College where I majored in psychology. I graduated in 2015. During my undergrad I was part of the Barnard Babysitting Agency for at least 3 years (I can't remember if I joined my freshman year or sophomore year). During that time I had several consistent babysitting jobs. I mostly had toddlers, but on occasion I had young children around 8 years old. I also babysat twin teenagers for a short time. I have experience changing diapers, cooking food, heating up food in a household with no microwave, and some housekeeping (dishes, tidying up). I have experience taking kids to afterschool activities like karate, the park, and the children's museum. To show I go the extra mile, I donāt have piano training, but I once helped one of the children I was babysitting practice their piano lessons. On that day he improved and I learned how to play Ol McDonald Had a Farm. In my family, I have a baby cousin who I have babysat since she was just a few months old (she's 13 now!) Iām great with kids and also pets! If you have a cat, dog, snake, bird, hamster, Iām a lover of all animals and Iām not allergic to any!
āJasmine Ruiz has babysat my 13-year-old daughter, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her! Jasmine is kind, caring, responsible, and very personable. She has a natural ability to connect with teenagers and understands their language, interests, and personalities, which makes such a difference. My daughter feels comfortable, happy, and, most importantly, safe in Jasmineās care. Jasmine is not someone who simply supervises children; she genuinely engages with them, plays games, interacts, and makes sure they have a great time. She is also a great cook and wonderful with animals, which is an added bonus! One of the qualities I appreciate most about Jasmine is her communication. At the end of each day, she provides thoughtful feedback about how everything went. She is very observant and vigilant, and if she notices any concerns, she makes sure parents are informed. As a mother, having someone who is trustworthy, attentive, nurturing, and genuinely enjoys spending time with children gives me tremendous peace of mind. I highly recommend Jasmine Ruiz to any family looking for a dependable, compassionate, and engaging babysitter. She is truly a gem! ā¤ļøā
