Sierra Bristol
$17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! - My name is Sierra, I’m currently a freshman at CCSU. I offer childcare between the ages 1-8. I have the most experience, and where I’m most comfortable are with ages 3-5. I’ve always enjoyed babysitting or working with children. My seasonal job is camp counselor! Being so, I’ve never had any bad experiences coming from kids, which is why I enjoy it so much. I am willing to also work as a household assistant, run errands, and cook as needed. I am able to ensure transportation also if needed.

Booked by 1 family in Burlington, CT

Hello! Dogs have always been a part of my family structure for as long I can remember. I love the outdoors and long walks with a furry friend.

Linda was an absolute gem of a sitter. She took great care of our dog, kept him up on all of his food and meds, and took care of him like he was her own. Highly recommend her!

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***

Amiyah Waterbury
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have a strong background in caregiving with hands-on experience caring for children, seniors, and pets, along with providing household support. Over the past few years, I’ve worked with families to provide dependable, compassionate, and patient care tailored to individual needs. My experience includes preparing meals, helping with daily routines, administering medication, offering companionship, and keeping a safe, clean environment. I’ve cared for children of various ages, from infants to preteens, and I'm known for being nurturing, responsible, and creative—often engaging kids with educational games, crafts, and outdoor play. I’ve also assisted seniors with mobility support, light housekeeping, errands, and emotional companionship, which taught me the importance of empathy and trust. I’m naturally patient, attentive, and calm under pressure—qualities that are essential in any caregiving role. I’m also organized, respectful of people’s privacy and routines, and take pride in creating a warm, supportive atmosphere wherever I work. Whether it’s a child, an elderly loved one, or a beloved pet, I always give 100% of my care, attention, and respect.
