I have my own car available to use with your kids, clean driving record, and exceptional driving skills. I enjoy being able to help in the developmental process of each child. I have been using development tools for years such as Kinedu and Baby-Led Weaning. Apps designed to support parents in nurturing their child's development through play as well providing foods that are nutritious for babies in a way that they can handle them. I’m bilingual, English-Spanish and I enjoy teaching these languages through reading, singing, play time and throughout their daily’s routine. I’m a sporting person, I like swimming, gymnastics and I workout regularly to keep myself healthy. I have experience taking the kids to swimming classes, gymnastics, and outdoors- indoors activities. I’m a Montessori fan and I’m happy to share my knowledge and experience to help your kids in a fun way to use it, love it and apply it in their lives as in their playrooms, bedrooms, pantries, meal times, hygiene routines, schooling activities and more. I’m a tidy person so I love helping out families at home. My background is in child development as well in nursing. I’m currently a CNA. I have great references from the families I’ve worked for and I’ll be happy to share them with you. Feel free to reach out to me, I’d love to get to know your family, share smiles with your little ones and be helpful in anything that you’ll need.

Sara is incredibly kind, caring, and conscientious. She was a wonderful caregiver for our son from when he was a little baby until he entered daycare. Sara is part of our family now; we cannot overstate how happy we are to have found her!

Hi! I’m Charlotte — a bilingual (French/English), CPR-certified babysitter who’s dependable, warm, and great with kids of all ages. I’ve been babysitting since I was 16 and have experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’ve supported families during everything from first-time date nights to last-minute schedule changes — always showing up with a calm, caring attitude. I also worked as an Educator in Coastal Ecology for 10 months, teaching children and adults ages 5–99! That role, plus my time as a camp counselor and family babysitter (cousins, nieces, nephews), has made me patient, adaptable, and great at connecting with kids quickly — even in new situations. Whether you need someone for a one-time evening, a weekend afternoon, or a backup sitter, I’m happy to step in and help. I make sure children feel safe and have fun, while keeping your home running smoothly. Some of my favorite things to do with kids include: - Outdoor exploration and nature walks - Arts and crafts - Storytime and reading - Homework help (especially science!) - Gentle playtime and games for babies & toddlers I’m also happy to help with: - Meal prep and feeding - Diaper changes and nap routines - Bath and bedtime - Light tidying up after play or dinner I’m certified in CPR/AED through the Red Cross, and parents often describe me as calm, responsible, and easy to trust — especially in short-notice or first-time situations. Bonus: I also have experience caring for seniors and helping around the house. From driving to appointments and prepping meals to offering companionship, I love making life a little easier for families. If you’re looking for someone who’s kind, reliable, and brings positive energy into your home — I’d love to connect 💛 Let me know how I can support your family!
