A little bit about me

My name is Melissa Lufkin, and I am 39 years old, single with no kids. I grew up in West Hartford, Connecticut. I have a bachelor's degree in Clinical Psychology from Keene State College in New Hampshire. I fell into afterschool programming at the elementary & middle school level, and then went on to work as a special education teaching assistant/ behavioral therapist in private schools and the public school districts.
The joy of shaping young minds, nurturing their self-esteem, and encouraging their growth is truly rewarding. The unpredictability that comes with working with school-age children keeps me energized and engaged. I have over 10 years of professional experience supervising, implementing and developing various programs for Pre-K through 8th grade in various roles. I am a punctual, reliable, flexible and an adaptable babysitter. I’d love to help out with running errands, completing light housekeeping tasks to make your lives a little easier.

Synead S. - Seeking Work in West Hartford

Babysitter Available in West Hartford, CT: Synead S.

Hi! My name is Synead, I’m 16 years old and am a sophomore in high school. I maintain good grades in and am secretary for the class of 2028! I have worked with kids a little bit in the past at summer camp and love spending time and getting to know kids because they are incredibly special people who deserve to be loved. I can cook simple but healthy organic meals for the kids and even prep things for the parents if they come home and would like something already made and ready to eat. Lastly, I don’t particularly care about the money as much as getting the experience of being a babysitter and understand that sometimes money can be tough to manage so I’m by no means difficult when it comes to my compensation. If the child/children I’m babysitting are happy and taken care of and the families are appreciative at the end of my day that’s compensation enough. Thank you so very much!!☺️❤️
