Hello, I'm Olivia! I'm willing to take up part time babysitting jobs, or one-off jobs between my hours, though I am more than willing to be flexible if my schedule allows it.
I don't mind doing crafts with kids, reading, or helping with schoolwork they may have. I am patient with children and mostly soft-spoken.

FAQs for finding a mother's helper
What type of mother’s helpers services can I find near me in Waterbury, CT?
In a lot of cases mother’s helpers take on many of the same babysitter duties that a normal babysitter does.

Usually, a mother’s helper is a “babysitter in training” who isn’t old enough to be alone in a home with children, but can help keep an eye on children while parents are nearby while taking some time to themselves.
