Booked by 1 family in Sandy Hook, CT

Hi! I have been a babysitter/nanny on the side for years! I come from a large family and plenty of experience, so there’s nothing I haven’t seen! I love playing outside or creating new activities for your kids to enjoy. I am comfortable with pets, doing house chores and anything your child(ren) need always finding ways for them to have fun! I am CPR & First Aid certified with experience with children of all ages!

Alyssa is wonderful! She is communicative, kind, experienced, prompt, and flexible. She was great with our 10 month old daughter and I will definitely book her again :-)

I work full-time in architecture and have over 20 years of experience caring for children of all ages and needs, from newborns through teens. I enjoy arts and crafts, science experiments, cooking, and active play, and I thoughtfully adapt my care to each child and family. I’m CPR certified with a clean driving record. My experience includes light household chores, meal prep, school pick-ups and drop-offs, bedtime routines, homework help, and supporting multiples and children with special needs. I currently volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters (6.5 years) and serve on the board of NOMAct, where I chair K–12 outreach and lead fun, hands-on architectural learning for kids.

$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.
