Sierra $17 per hour for 1 child

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.

Booked by 1 family in Simsbury, CT

I have 8+ years of experience in childcare and teaching ballet. I grew up in a large family and have had many childcare and teaching jobs over the past years. Working with children is something I enjoy doing on a weekly basis, as I'm a ballet instructor for a couple studios in the area! I like teaching children concepts and watching them grow in their understanding of them. I've done coursework in Early Childhood Development and would be happy to tutor and assist with online learning. I am also happy to help with Driving, Housekeeping, Laundry, etc. I'm looking for a job with hours mostly in the afternoons and evenings (after I get out of the studio) and weekends.

Amiyah $25 per hour for 1 child

I have a strong background in caregiving with hands-on experience caring for children, seniors, and pets, along with providing household support. Over the past few years, I’ve worked with families to provide dependable, compassionate, and patient care tailored to individual needs. My experience includes preparing meals, helping with daily routines, administering medication, offering companionship, and keeping a safe, clean environment. I’ve cared for children of various ages, from infants to preteens, and I'm known for being nurturing, responsible, and creative—often engaging kids with educational games, crafts, and outdoor play. I’ve also assisted seniors with mobility support, light housekeeping, errands, and emotional companionship, which taught me the importance of empathy and trust. I’m naturally patient, attentive, and calm under pressure—qualities that are essential in any caregiving role. I’m also organized, respectful of people’s privacy and routines, and take pride in creating a warm, supportive atmosphere wherever I work. Whether it’s a child, an elderly loved one, or a beloved pet, I always give 100% of my care, attention, and respect.

Liani $17 per hour for 1 child

I am an 18-year-old high school senior pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice while gaining professional experience to eventually work in the legal field. As the oldest of four children, caregiving has always been a natural part of my life. I have extensive babysitting experience within my neighborhood, caring for children ranging from 4 months old to 15 years old and also have experience working with children with autism and learning disabilities. I am responsible, patient, and highly attentive, with a strong ability to adapt to different age groups and individual needs. I am currently working toward CPR certification and prioritize safety, structure, and compassion in everything I do. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable assisting with household tasks and maintaining an organized, supportive environment. My background has helped me develop strong communication skills, reliability, and a calm, caring approach that families can trust.
