Kelsey $20 per hour for 1 child

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.

Gabrieanne $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Gabrieanne! I am 18 years old and a sophomore at Trinity College. I have always loved working with children, whether to engage with them in their own interests or help them with their homework. I started as a kindergarten monitor while I was in the 5th grade and I had a weekly job for 2 years in my junior and senior year of high school babysitting an 8 year old. I would cook for her, take her to the park, and play with her and her bunny. I have also had lots of experience looking after my younger cousins on my own, unpaid, but a job nonetheless! I am a patient person and always willing to work with children rather than just telling them what to do, while still making sure they are respectful to others and kind to themselves. I also owned cats growing up, 3 of them in total! I know how to play with cats and respect their boundaries. I would greatly appreciate any job to help pay for my time at Trinity!

Divine $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Divine. I am a 23-year-old college student at the University of Connecticut, majoring in Business Administration and Marketing. I am bilingual and speak both French and English, which has helped me connect easily with children and families from diverse backgrounds. I grew up in a large family, where I regularly cared for my younger siblings and cousins. This experience taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of creating a safe, loving, and supportive environment for children. In addition, I worked at an elementary school for four months as part of a Lighthouse Program, where I supported and supervised children in a structured school setting. This experience strengthened my ability to work with kids in both educational and recreational environments. I am comfortable with cooking, cleaning, and assisting with household tasks. I also have a valid driver’s license and can help with transportation when needed. I enjoy engaging children in creative activities such as painting, as well as simple and fun hairstyling. I truly enjoy working with children and take pride in creating a positive and caring environment for them.😊
