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!
