A little bit about me
I’m a fun loving person who loves caring and nurturing children, helping grow they’re developing minds and personalities. I have been taking care of children for over 8 years. I am most experienced in working with children varying in age from newborn to 9 years old. I love helping them to explore and bring out their genuine uniqueness through fun skill building and my soft approach. I enjoy playing, reading books, going on walks, going to classes, and and helping children to build their imagination as they grow. I am very patient, loving, reliable, and flexible with my scheduling and I can adapt to any changes quite easily to suit my families needs.

"Marcy, our nanny of the past 3 years, is truly one of a kind. She is one of the kindest and nicest people and is extremely loving and patient with our 3 kids, aged 4 ½, 2 ½ and 10 months. She has become a part of our family and helps us in any way she can to make our lives happier and easier. She has been with us since our oldest was 2 ½ years old and I was pregnant with our second.
She is highly engaging, loving and affectionate with our kids. She is ready to get down on the floor and roll around with them. She truly loves being a nanny and she is fully engaged with them. She radiates warmth and brings a positive energy into our household every day.
Marcy has been a full-time nanny for over 20 years with children ranging from newborns to teenagers. She is highly conscious of safety and we fully trust her judgement. She is good with babies and older toddlers alike.
She has become a part of our family and hope she finds a family who will appreciate her as much as we do."

A little bit about me
My name is Irine and I am originally from North Africa (Sudan) I am fluent in English and Arabic. Graduated with political science degree in 2019. I started babysitting when I was 14 years old and that’s when my older sister had her first born and I took care of her then they were 3 of them. Then I went to Europe for high school and started babysitting other families and came to the states with the same idea. I babysat 5,6 families in my 4 years of college and I worked with some of them for almost 3 years before I decided to move from North Carolina. I learned so much working as a babysitter and I love playing with kids and challenge them with games. I care for each child I babysit like my own. I still call the families to check on the kids and I miss all of them. I can send you my resume and the families contact info if needed. I love dancing, cooking (but African food) cleaning and I would say I am very reliable person. Can’t wait to be part of a lovely family.

A little bit about me
I love being a sitter because caring for others comes naturally to me, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. Spending time with children, helping them feel comfortable, and supporting their daily routines is something I find both meaningful and rewarding. I have hands-on experience babysitting for families in my community, where I’ve been responsible for things like playtime, meals, bedtime routines, and keeping kids entertained in a safe way. I’ve completed a basic safety training course, and I always take my responsibilities seriously. I’m reliable, patient, and able to adapt to each child’s unique needs, which helps me build trust with both kids and parents.

A little bit about me
I am the oldest of four, the built-in babysitter and all of my Mothers friends knew it. I have been babysitting since I was 10 years old and took my first “babysitter certification” when I was 13. Once my family and I moved to CT I started to do more formal babysitting, I worked for a family part-time during the summers and as needed during the school year for 3 years. Then during the summer of 2020 I went to nanny for a family in Seattle. Now I am currently working at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center as a Patient Care Assistant/Tech. Through this job I have worked nighshifts assigned to one baby feeding them, bathing them, and holding them. I have spent an entire 12 hour shift keeping a hyperactive, confined 3 year old entertained. I have spent 3 shifts in a row talking with the same teen about their life and dreams. My favorite assignments are those involving me being with a baby the whole shift, I also have a lot of experience in the NICU.
