Booked by 1 family in Guilford, CT

I have experience caring for school-age children, about 4 years old and up, and I’m also comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. With kids, I’m happy to help with playtime, crafts, outdoor activities, homework, meals, and keeping their normal routine going. I try to be patient, calm, and easygoing while still making sure everyone is safe and cared for. I also love dogs and have experience with walking, feeding, playing, and giving them attention based on their personality and needs. I’m comfortable with different energy levels and know how important it is to follow each family’s routine. Families can expect me to be dependable, respectful of their home, and attentive to both children and pets.

Caitlin is extremely reliable, has a lot of experience with kids and pets, has a fantastic handle on any emergency situation that may arise, would highly recommend her for any sitting. She has a love for both kids and pets

hi families I'm looking a way to make extra money so I'm interested in occasional jobs. I'm not looking a babysitter position but I'll help with chores around the house, unboxing, light cleaning, go errands, etc ...

We hired Stefania for a short time today and she was able to build rapport quickly with my two boys. She’s also very nice! Would definitely hire again!

I am a caring, reliable, and patient nanny with several years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages. I have worked as a private nanny for the past four years, supporting families by creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where children can grow and thrive. I truly enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents, and I take pride in being attentive to each child’s individual needs. With a background in caregiving and current studies in nursing, I bring a calm, responsible, and compassionate approach to childcare. My goal is always to support families by providing dependable care, encouragement, and positive guidance while treating every child as if they were my own.
