Hi, my name is Erica Tutton. I’m a graduate from San Jose State University with a degree in Psychology. I’ve worked at the Boys and Girls Club working their after school and summer program. I have experience teaching curriculum such as education, sports, technology, and art. I have also worked as a behavioral therapist for children with autism, and have been a babysitter/ nanny throughout college. I’ve worked with ages 1-18 through babysitting as well as my professional career. Currently have a full time job as a case manager so only have weekend availability. I’d still love to work with kids and help out families when I can!

We have been beyond blessed having Erica take care of our 19-month-old son for the last 6 weeks. She reads him book after book, she plays with blocks and cars and chases him around until they are both cracking up laughing. She handles his lunch, bath time, and nap time every day (and he is not an easy one to nap for most people). What I was really amazed with was her level of engagement with him. My husband and I work from home and we could hear her talking to him and laughing with him all day. He asks for her and talks about her constantly when she's not here and we were heartbroken when our local daycare had a spot open up for him. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their child.

***I am only available for occasional babysitting after 5pm on weekdays and some weekends. Thank you for understanding!*** I am an administrative professional who became a nanny during the pandemic. While I am no longer nannying full time, I am hoping to babysit occasionally for a few families long-term on evenings and weekends. I have experience with kids of all ages and absolutely love pets! I am fully vaccinated and boosted for COVID and am willing to mask, etc. I grew up doing theatre and love to entertain little ones with singing, dancing, reading aloud, etc! I had many different nannies growing up and know how important they are to a child's life. My friends would describe me as very reliable, conscientious, and caring. References happily provided upon request. I look forward to hearing from you! ------------------------------------------------------------ “Nina is incredibly patient, loving and helpful with our 6 month old son. She has always been very adaptable to our developing parenting styles (first time parents over here!) and she’s been very helpful in providing recommendations or additional context based on her previous nanny experiences. She is an excellent communicator and she regularly goes above and beyond to make our son as comfortable as possible and celebrate his baby milestones. She engages with our son through many activities including singing, reading, playing, going outside, tummy time and snuggles at nap time. I wish we could continue our time with Nina, but we are moving out of the state. If you are looking for a dependable and caring nanny, Nina will be a great fit for your family!” -Katie, February-June 2021

Morgan watched my 10 year old son Preston and they did great. She was also nice enough to change my laundry proactively. She’s definitely very experienced and I hope to have her watch my kids on a more regular basis.

Loved working with Natalia! She watched both of our girls and they had a blast. I got photos throughout the evening and they were in pajamas and fed by the time we were back! Would definitely recommend Natalia to any family
Jaynelle T.

I have been a private career nanny for multiple families (for ages 7 months and up) for over 14 years now, as well as a daycare teacher assistant and an Au Pair. I connect very well with children; I enjoy working with the magical little beings because I’m inspired by their contagiously high-spirits and spontaneous creativity! I offer children an abundance of presence and play. I encourage nature-based exploration, creativity cultivation, and problem-solving. I draw inspiration from elements of alternative education philosophies, but I’m mostly interested in letting the child lead while I provide the appropriate boundaries and guidance. Each child is so unique, and my goal is to facilitate their unfolding. I would be a good fit for your family if you are looking for a responsible nanny with a good heart, an authentic appreciation for kids, and someone who will provide a positive contribution to their development.

Jaynelle has been the nanny of our four children ages 2, 6, 8, & 10 for the past two years. We could not be happier to have found such a caring, responsible, attentive, fun loving person to watch over our children. Our three boys and their younger sister absolutely adore her, as do we. We could not say enough good things about Jaynelle and her quality of care. We will dearly miss having her around as she has been such a positive influence on all of our children. She is genuinely one of the nicest most sincere people you will meet. Unfortunately for us Jaynelle will be relocating to Narragansett. Let our loss be your gain. If you are considering hiring a person for a child care / nanny position Jaynell comes very highly recommend.

Whether we're playing games, singing and dancing, spending time outside, reading books, or being creative, I enjoy keeping kids engaged and active in ways that are both fun and age-appropriate. My goal is to provide a safe, caring, and fun environment where children feel comfortable and parents can feel confident knowing their children are in good hands. I currently work for a local school district where my primary focus is supporting neurodivergent learners. In addition, I have many years of experience working with typically developing children of all ages. My experience has taught me a lot about adaptability, flexibility, and meeting each child where they are. I take pride in helping all children feel cared for and supported. I'm CPR and First Aid certified and have a college degree including coursework in Early Child Development & Special Education. I'm also a proud mom of three daughters so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your kids.

Andrea took care of my little one starting when she was 3 months old when I had to return to work. Andrea provided my child with a safe, fun and stimulating environment. It meant so much to me to be able to return to work without having to worry if my little one was in the right hands. Without the enviroment Andrea provided, I do not believe my child would have developed into the sweet, artistic and intelligent 4 year old she is today. We were very fortunate to have Andrea and wouldn't trust anyone else with our child's care.

I can't say enough good things about Annalise - she is an awesome sitter and I feel lucky to have found her. She's kind, patient, responsible, and my son absolutely loves her. She's super interactive and engaging with kids. Professionally, she's been extremely communicative and flexible as I've ironed out my schedule and need for childcare. She really is a gem and any family would be lucky to have her as their sitter.
