Chenyl $25 per hour for 1 child

I recently move to the Newington area from New York City . With a strong background in both education and medical fields, I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care and support for your children. I have completed four years of college and am a certified Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). In my current role, I work closely with special needs children, implementing behavioral plans and fostering their development. My experience has equipped me with the skills to handle various challenges with patience and empathy. In addition to my RBT certification, First Aid and CPR certified. This has given me the ability to manage children's health needs and respond to emergencies effectively. Moreover, my work as a paraprofessional with the Department of Education has increased my ability to support children's academic and social development.

Lilli $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Lilli. I'm a sophomore at Central Connecticut State University. I am originally from North Carolina. I received a wrestling scholarship at Western New England in Massachusetts, but I transferred to focus more on my studies and to be with family here in CT. I'm currently studying exercise science with the goal of becoming a physical therapist along with maybe teaching as well. I truly enjoy working with children of all ages and believe my background and passion for helping others make me a great fit for any situation involving kids. Being one of the oldest in my big family has been such a beautiful journey. I love watching my younger siblings and cousins grow up as I needed to step up a lot and help them. Back home in my community I coached youth league wrestlers. It fills my heart with joy to be part of their lives. From playing games to helping them with anything, every moment with them is precious. I've learned a lot and can do a lot! Can't wait for more opportunities!!
