A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Lucie.
I’ve been babysitting for about 7 years and have lots of experience with kids of all ages — from working at summer camps to watching neighbors’ kids and my little cousins. I genuinely love working with children and enjoy creating a positive, engaging environment for them.
I work full-time Monday–Friday (9–5), so I’m mainly looking for weekend babysitting or occasional weeknight jobs. I’m reliable, easygoing, and love keeping kids entertained and happy.
I’d love to help out your family whenever you need an extra hand!

A little bit about me
Good day! My name is Isaiah Decias and I am a current student-athlete at Bentley University. I am 22 years old and have had multiple occupations from Retail in CVS to Human Resources with Lifeguarding. All of the job opportunities had in the past allowed me to grow as a human within leadership, communication, and customer service & care. As far as my experience babysitting, being a part of a big family has allowed me to gain many encounters taking care of my adolescent cousin from the age of 4 all the way until he was out of middle school. Playing athletics since a child and being a Bentley Football player has also given me the opportunity to learn what true leadership is and how to play my role for success. I hope to hear back from you and
