I started working at a daycare at the age of 15 and have fell in love with caregiving since. I am CPR certified and have my own vehicle as well. I currently have a part time job at a swim school, so I have continued to work with children. I love working with children of all ages and have experience working with them as well.

I'm a energetic, fun, trustworthy, responsible and mature adult willing to create a friendship with the children and family.  I enjoy reading, teaching, and doing projects with children. I take pride in teaching children new things, making them laugh and creating a peaceful, caring environment.  I would be able to drive if needed since I have my own reliable vehicle. I enjoy animals and would be able to take them for walks or play with them. I'm also willing to assist the family with household tasks as needed. I will supply my reference information upon request.  I am flexible with the rates and sure we could work out an arrangement based on the families needs.

I’m a 26-year-old CCSU graduate looking to work this summer for a loving family! My experience as a full-time Environmental Education Teacher has allowed me to become very skilled in difficult behaviors, positive coaching techniques and responsible management of groups of up to 20 students at a time (ranging in age from 7 to 17), as well as one-on-one care. I have worked with every time of student you can think of! My biggest goal for the future is to start my own family! I feel my service mindset, patience and work experience in stressful situations throughout my life would make me a great choice!

I have lived in Glastonbury, CT for the last 22 years.  I have raised both my two sons, (one is 22 and the other is 25) here in Glastonbury.   I have been a mother, teacher, and tutor for over 25 years and love nurturing children.  I always knew that loving children would culminate in making a career with helping them in one form or another.  I feel comfortable with any age children, from small infants through elementary age.  I have been through wonderful, fulfilling experiences with all children of all those age ranges.  I would take great pleasure in taking care of your child(ren) and would and take my responsibility very seriously.  I would ensure that your children felt comfortable, safe, happy and secure under my care.  I would treat your child(ren) as if they were my own.  Words to descibe how I would relate to your child(ren) would be warm, loving, nurturing, responsible, upbeat, positive, organized, compassionate, sensitive to their needs, energetic, and fun-loving.  My goal would be to make their time with me consistent, fair, loving and enjoyable.  Additionally, I would enjoy teaching your children, helping them with homework, playing games/sports with them, and any other activites that you might like me to do with them.  I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hi! I'm a recent high school graduate and during my last two years, I worked part time at two daycares, with both infants and toddlers. I am both First Aid and CPR certified. I love being able to work with this age group specifically because the overall routine from play time, nap time, and snack time, is one that I have overtime learned to enjoy in every aspect.

When my children were in elementary school I provided before and after school daycare in my home. I ended my daycare when my sons went to high school. I worked at a Post Office for 8 years and as a pharmacy technician for over 10 years. I have 5 grandchildren 7 months, 2, 4,5 and 6 years I am a very active grandmother. I previously worked as a nanny for a family in Marlborough, where I took care of a 2 year old and 5 year. I was with this family for over 3 years. My days with the children were always busy, and extremely fun. I planned activities for each day. We did arts and crafts projects, play board games, took nature walks, played outdoor games, and somedays read books and sing and dance. Many times I drove the children to and from school and to libraries for storytime, I am looking for about 8 hrs a week. I am retired and available for pickup or dropoff or morning care My goal each day is to provides safety and happiness and be a role model and a teacher. Safety is my number one priority. I have over 10 years experience providing daycare for children of all ages, with many of years working with infants.

Hi, My name is Noor. I love working with children and have been working with them since the age of 16. I am now 20 years old and work at a preschool. I have been working at this preschool for about 2 years now. I have a lot of experience with children ages 0-6 years old. I have my license as a behavior tech where I work with children with behavior issues, autism, speech delay. I also have my EMT license. I am CPR, AED, and Epi certified. I am very fun to be around and love doing different activities with my preschoolers. Recently with college and preschool it has been a a lot on my schedule so I have decided to work as a nanny for 1 to 3 kids rather than teacher to 10 just so I have a little less chaotic work time lol.
