Hi! I’m a warm, responsible, and energetic caregiver who truly enjoys spending time with children. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for kids of different ages, helping with school routines, homework, meals, bedtime, transportation, and creating fun, engaging activities that encourage learning and creativity. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and valued. I love planning arts and crafts, reading stories, playing outdoors, baking together, and finding creative ways to make everyday moments enjoyable. I’m patient, dependable, organized, and able to stay calm in busy situations. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, children’s laundry, meal preparation, tidying play areas, and pet care. I have a valid driver’s license and experience driving children safely to and from school, activities, and appointments. Families describe me as caring, trustworthy, proactive, and easy to communicate with. I always strive to build a positive relationship with both children and parents by providing reliable, attentive, and loving care. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and become someone you can count on with confidence!
Hi! I’m currently going into my junior year of college and have several years of experience working with children of different ages. I’ve worked at a daycare since 2022, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for children, planning activities, keeping them engaged, and creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I’m responsible, patient, caring, and energetic, and I genuinely love working with kids! I enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and interests, whether that means doing arts and crafts, playing outside, helping with homework, playing games, or just spending time with them. My experience at a daycare has also made me comfortable caring for multiple children at once and handling the different routines and responsibilities that come with childcare. I’m looking forward to connecting with families and providing dependable care while making sure their children feel comfortable, safe, and have fun!
Hi! My name is Jenna and I’m currently a sophomore at Quinnipiac University. I’d love to help out families by providing child care, pet care, or general household help! I’ve been a long-time babysitter for many families in my area since before I could drive, and I often watch and walk dogs through the Wag! app. I can be very active with kids and play any sports/games they want, but I’m also very crafty and love to just talk and watch movies! I’m also CPR certified and a licensed child care provider through the HMH certification course. Im also available to run errands and help with cleaning or laundry! I love to drive and shop, and I’ve been my mothers personal errand-runner for years with great reviews. And after being to college, there is nothing I’m not ready to clean!
“Jenna accepted my last minute booking and arrived early. She was very upbeat and a pleasure to be around. She confidently handled my toddler twin boys who enjoyed playing with her. I would not hesitate to hire Jenna again as a babysitter.”
