Hello! My Name Is Julianne . I have recently obtained my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education through the University of Arizona. I have been working as a Toddler Teacher for Bright Horizons Family Solutions for nearly 6 years. I have a demonstrated background in working with children in educational settings, as well as serving as a consistent babysitter for many families, a nannying during summer seasons, and have experience as a summer camp counselor. As a kind-hearted individual with a passion for teaching young learners of all backgrounds, I know I would be the perfect person for any childcare job.

Liani Springfield
$17 per hour for 1 child

I am an 18-year-old high school senior pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice while gaining professional experience to eventually work in the legal field. As the oldest of four children, caregiving has always been a natural part of my life. I have extensive babysitting experience within my neighborhood, caring for children ranging from 4 months old to 15 years old and also have experience working with children with autism and learning disabilities. I am responsible, patient, and highly attentive, with a strong ability to adapt to different age groups and individual needs. I am currently working toward CPR certification and prioritize safety, structure, and compassion in everything I do. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable assisting with household tasks and maintaining an organized, supportive environment. My background has helped me develop strong communication skills, reliability, and a calm, caring approach that families can trust.

Liziris East Hartford
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Liziris, and I’m 19 years old. I have about 2–3 years of childcare experience, both personally and professionally. I currently work at a daycare, and I’m also a proud mom to a beautiful 4-month-old baby girl. Caring for children is something I truly love. I enjoy playing, teaching, and helping little ones learn and grow while making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m comfortable with all aspects of childcare — from feeding, bathing, and diaper changes to planning fun and educational activities. I’m also comfortable around pets (dogs and cats, just no aggressive animals) and can help with feeding and light care. In addition, I don’t mind pitching in with simple household tasks like washing dishes, sweeping, or tidying up. I’m comfortable caring for up to 3–4 children at a time, or up to 3 children if pets are included. I take my job seriously and always treat every child as if they were my own — with kindness, patience, and full attention. Any child in my care will be safe, loved, and well looked after! 💕

Danelle Manchester
$20 per hour for 1 child

I am a loving mother of two boys and a devoted wife, and I know firsthand how hard it can be to leave your children in someone else’s care. As a stay-at-home mom, I understand the trust parents place in a caregiver and take that responsibility to heart. I am patient, nurturing, and committed to creating a safe, happy, and supportive environment for children. I also love to cook and enjoy preparing warm, home-cooked meals that bring comfort and joy to the whole family.

Nicole Worcester
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Nicole and I am a 20 year old student-athlete who is back in town for winter break. I have grown up surrounded by so much family, which I am extremely grateful for. I have years of experience watching three of my younger cousins, ages from an infant, a three year old, and a five year old. Additionally, I watched over my high school volleyball coach’s three kids with similar ages, and several different families who associated with her! My mom raised three children herself, so I understand how difficult it can be to balance work and finding care for your child. While I’m home, I’d love to help as much as possible with the additional time I have!
