A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Caye, I’m a 19-year-old college freshman currently looking for nannying or babysitting opportunities. I genuinely enjoy working with kids and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them.
I have experience working with children through volunteering in a preschool classroom and working at a summer camp, where I helped supervise activities, keep kids engaged, and make sure everyone stayed safe and included. These experiences taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to different children’s needs and personalities.
I’m reliable, caring, and energetic. I enjoy doing things like crafts, outdoor play, games, and helping with routines. I’m also happy to assist with light household tasks.
I’m looking for a family who needs someone dependable and kind to help care for their children. I take the responsibility of caring for kids seriously and always aim to make parents feel comfortable and confident that their kids are in good hands

A little bit about me

My name is Nicole Santana, and I’m currently a UCONN college student majoring in Human Development and Family Studies. I’m passionate about helping children grow, learn, and have fun in a safe, supportive environment. I plan to earn my master’s in Occupational Therapy, and I’m currently interning with a pediatric occupational therapist, which has given me hands-on experience working with children of all abilities.
I’ve worked in a daycare setting since my junior year of high school, caring for infants through school-age kids. From helping with crafts and story time to guiding early learning and play, I love being part of a child’s everyday milestones. Coming from a big family, I’m very comfortable caring for multiple children and a wide range of ages.
I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, CPR/first-aid certified, and happy to help with homework, light meals, and bedtime routines. I always bring patience, creativity, and a positive attitude to every babysitting job.
