A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Amanda. I’m an experienced, reliable, and caring babysitter who truly loves working with children of all ages from infants to teens. I’ve been babysitting since I was young, and I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable and happy.

I especially enjoy arts and crafts and love coming up with creative, engaging activities that make learning fun. I’m also happy to help with homework, cooking meals, meal prep, and do light cleaning to support busy families. I’m very patient and skilled at helping children wind down, stick to routines, and get to sleep smoothly.

I’m also comfortable with pets and happy to be around animals in the home.

When your child is in my care, their safety, well-being, and happiness are always my top priorities. I strive to make each day positive, structured, and enjoyable for both children and parents.

Hello! My name is Alex and I am an building substitute (full time) in Darien with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Penn State (Class of 2024). Alongside my teaching experience, I have nannied for multiple families and truly love working with kids of all ages.

I have a strong athletic background, having competed in volleyball, soccer, and gymnastics for many years, so I love to stay active and am always up for playing outside or supporting kids at their practices or games.

I have my own car and am happy to help with school pick-ups, drop-offs, or driving to activities as needed.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Cara Smith, and I just graduated from Darien High School. This fall, I’ll be heading to the University of Southern California, where I’ll be a student-athlete on the rowing team.
I’ve been babysitting occasionally for multiple families since 8th grade, and I truly enjoy spending time with kids of all ages. This summer, I’m looking for a more consistent babysitting position, ideally 2–3 times during the week.
In addition to babysitting, I work weekends at Chelsea Piers, where I run birthday parties and coach gymnastics, so I’m comfortable with active, high-energy environments and helping kids have fun in a safe and structured way.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I’d love to connect with your family!
