Experience: 10 yrs
Hello, my name is Lena! I have been babysitting children of all ages and personalities since I was 12 years old and absolutely love it. I have been trained at the YMCA for a babysitting course, and I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have worked with a variety of different children with the ages varying from 3 months to 13 years. Last year I volunteered for an infant center where I would change diapers, put the babies down for naps, feed them and play with them. The ages started at 2 months to 16 months. In addition, I worked at a Culinary Studio for kids, and led numerous birthday parties and cooking classes for all ages. In high school, I was very involved with my theater and choir program but also played basketball, so I love a bunch of different activities! During my time at Fairfield University I completed my undergraduate program with a major in Psychology. I took multiple classes in Early Childhood Education. Looking for opportunities during the weekends and night time hours.

We hired Lena to watch our 7 month old for 4 days a week for about a month while we juggled working and looking for homes in the area. It was the first time hiring anyone for us so I was nervous but Lena was great with our son. He warmed up to him instantly as she was patient, read to him and talked to him a lot (and also sang to him). She was dependable, always showed up right on time and was extremely trustworthy. We highly recommend her to others and would hire her again any time!
