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.😊
Im a certified CNA with experience providing dependable, compassionate care to people of all ages. My background in healthcare has taught me patience, organization, and how to stay calm in any situation. I’m also a dog owner, so I’m very comfortable working in homes with pets and understand how important it is to care for them with the same kindness and consistency. In addition to my CNA experience, I’ve watched children of various ages for families in my community. I enjoy creating a safe, positive environment where kids feel supported, understood, and engaged. Whether helping with daily routines, light household tasks, or providing companionship, I always treat every family I work with respect and professionalism. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making life easier for the families who trust me. I look forward to bringing my skills, compassion, and strong work ethic to your home.
I am very responsible, trustworthy, with a genuine love for children and the energy to engage them through play and creativity. I also agree patience is key and understanding kids emotions is important when caring for them. I have strong communication skills to keep parents updated and quick thinking in unexpected situations. I am willing to follow all household rules and making sure I do light house cleaning making sure everything is tidy when you return. I can also help out with laundry as well and pets or any help needed in the home. also ensuring that your children are happy, safe, and well cared for. I have two children of my own and been caring for kids since I was 12 years old. I also have experience with caring for autistic kids as well being I have a niece who is autistic and was nonverbal at one point.
My name is Sashane. I love taking care of kids and seniors it brings me joy to see people happy. I have been a caretaker for two years and I love what I do
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!
