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.😊

Yavileynee $20 per hour for 1 child

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.

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!

Alyssa $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Alyssa and I’m new to this site and a little unsure of how things work but I’m gonna tell you a little about myself. I’m currently in school to get my nursing degree and I have 3 more years to go! I’m originally from Ohio and moved here around 8 months ago and am expecting my first child in January. I don’t have over the table experience but I’ve grown up raising my siblings and little cousins. I absolutely love toddlers, even the terrible two’s because they’re brand new to the world and just need understanding and time to learn how to express how they feel. I prefer working with younger kids but older children are absolutely okay too! One of my passion’s definitely includes animals. I love them all! I’ve had experience with cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and also baby animals like kittens and puppies. I was raised on a farm and so I’ve grown up taking care of animals. I don’t typically do housekeeping, but I can absolutely do a little cleanup while I babysit and of course clean up any mess that is made while I’m there! Having any stranger in your home while you’re away can definitely be nerve wracking, especially to watch your children or animals. You’re taking a risk. I promise anyone I work with, that I am safe and trustworthy and I would never put anyone in my care at risk. I expect the same courtesy of insuring my own safety as well! Thank you so much for reading, I hope to work with you soon!

I’m dependable, patient, caring, and always prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for the children I care for. I’m also comfortable with pets and have reliable transportation
