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!!
Hello! My name is Dhespina, and I babysit three children (ages 6, 11, and 14) every weekday morning, Monday through Friday. I started babysitting the kids in January 2025. My responsibilities include waking the children up for school, helping the youngest get dressed and brush his teeth, making sure they’ve had breakfast, packing their lunches, and getting all three to school on time. In the afternoons, I pick them up from school, take them to appointments when needed, and occasionally stay after school to babysit. I love babysitting because I genuinely enjoy being around children. It doesn’t feel like work to me, but something that comes naturally because of how much I enjoy it. ***CERTIFIED IN ADULT, CHILD AND INFANT, PEDIATRIC CPR/AED & FIRST AID***
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. I am passionate about providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children.
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!
Hi! - My name is Sierra, I’m currently a freshman at CCSU. I offer childcare between the ages 1-8. I have the most experience, and where I’m most comfortable are with ages 3-5. I’ve always enjoyed babysitting or working with children. My seasonal job is camp counselor! Being so, I’ve never had any bad experiences coming from kids, which is why I enjoy it so much. I am willing to also work as a household assistant, run errands, and cook as needed. I am able to ensure transportation also if needed.
