Courtney 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
$25 per hour for 1 child
I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old, caring for families with anywhere from one to four children ranging in age from newborns to 12 years old. I also have a one year old of my own and bring a strong educational background to my childcare experience. I’ve been a teacher for nine years with a focus in special education and have taught Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. I’m very hands-on and love engaging kids in both indoor and outdoor activities, from creative crafts to active play. I’m also happy to help with homework, chores, and daily routines. I can prepare meals, tidy up, and ensure the kids stay on track while having fun. In addition to my love for working with children, I’m an animal lover who grew up with dogs and currently has a chocolate lab.
“Absolutely wonderful! Courtney is engaged with my son the whole time she is here!”
Emma $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi my name is Emma and I’m a 25 year old with experience working as an educator on a farm in Connecticut and camp counselor. I love working with children. I have also worked in after-school programs and been tutoring (K-8) english and math since freshman year of high school. I am happy to drive the kids to and from activities. I also have experience doing housecleaning and yard maintenance. For indoor cleaning I am comfortable cleaning bathrooms, kitchens, dusting, vacuuming, laundry, and dishes. Outside I have experience mowing, weeding, mulching, and cleaning windows.
Makayla $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi - My name is Makayla and I'm currently a home health aide. I am offering child care and senior care. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 17 years old. My responsibilities have included potty training, crafts, tutoring, and outside activities. I have been a caretaker for two years now and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook meals, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I am happy to work with families with dogs.

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
