"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Juviana $22 per hour for 1 child
Hi, my name is Juviana, and I currently work at a daycare while attending the University of Connecticut, where I am double majoring in Business Administration and Management and Human Development and Family Sciences. I love working with children and am seeking a nannying position of at least 30 hours per week, with the flexibility and interest to take on additional hours.
Nicky $35 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Nicky, and I am a junior in college currently available for part-time childcare. I have been babysitting for several years, primarily working with children between the ages of infant to 13. I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable. Along with childcare, I am happy to help with household responsibilities such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, and academic support. Outside of school and babysitting, I am a college student-athlete, so I love staying active and getting outside. I enjoy encouraging kids to put down the screens, get some fresh air, and have fun through outdoor activities, games, and playtime. I also have a strong passion for the arts. I enjoy theater, dance, literature, drawing, knitting, crocheting, and other creative activities. I love incorporating these interests into childcare through crafts, creative projects, reading, and imaginative play. Music is another big part of my life. I have experience with piano, percussion, guitar, and vocals, and I also offer one-on-one music lessons for children who are interested in learning an instrument or developing their vocal skills. Overall, I love working with children and creating activities that match their interests and personalities. I would be happy to help your family with childcare, homework, household tasks, creative activities, and keeping your children active and engaged!
Zaid $20 per hour for 1 child
I'm a passionate, kind, and loving person. Intro-Ambivert. I'm into soccer, video games, board games, and arts. I love cats. They're my favorite pet & I'm looking to adopt one this year, hopefully. I have nearly 2 years of soccer coaching experience as well, dealing with players between U6 - U16. Please feel free to reach out with questions, concerns, or special requests. Let's connect and discuss. :) Thank you & Take care.
