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!

Booked by 1 family in Eastford, CT

Hello! My name is Kennedy, or Ken for short! I am 26 years old and am an elder sister to four younger siblings, who now range from age 12 to 18. I have helped in caring for each of them since I was 12 years old. This has included picking and dropping them off at school, preparing meals, bathing, preparing for bedtime, playing board games, and other fun activities! Outside of my personal experience, I have volunteered for childcare at different organizations in my community as well. I am a recent college graduate with a degree in Psychology and Behavioral Health Studies, and I have experience in studying adolescence and childhood development alongside my hands-on experience. In addition to growing up with many siblings, I also have experience in caring for a broad range of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and bearded dragons! I can also provide aid with basic household chores as well. I love working with kids and getting to play again as an adult! Some of my interests include reading, yoga, exploring the outdoors, crocheting, and making jewelry. I currently work as a barista in the mornings and volunteer at a mental health clinic in the afternoons, so my availability is mostly in the evenings, though I am willing to find flexibility on days when I can! I would love to speak more to see if I would be a good fit for you :)

$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.
