Loryn C.
- 5 years paid experience
- 14 miles
My name is Loryn, and I absolutely love working with children! This is my 3rd year working as a social worker at an elementary school where I primarily work with preschool through 1st grade! In 2021, I graduated with my Master's degree in social work, specializing in school social work. I completed my graduate internship working with children (K-2 and 6-8) in a school setting. During that time, I gained experience working with students in both special education (i.e. autism, ADHD, social emotional needs) as well as in general education, both in person and remotely. I previously was employed as a lead teacher at an educational daycare. There I worked in multiple classes with students ranging from two to five years in age. Overall, I enjoy working with kids of various ages and am so thankful I get to do what I love. Feel free to message me with any questions you have, and I look forward to becoming a babysitter for you and your child!

I've been caring for children of all ages in childcare centers and as a nanny for 35 years. I also have 4 grown sons of my own including twins. I absolutely love children. I am a caring, patient, and attentive nanny/sitter who enjoys playing, teaching and being on the go. I have extensive knowledge of child development and age appropriate activities that help a child grow and develop. I focus on nurturing the whole child including social, emotional, physical, and cognitive abilities. I work hard to foster a sense of responsibility, manners, and respect and lead by example. I consider myself to be very reliable and dedicated. As a mom myself, I understand the desire to have someone care for your children as if they were their own. That is what I aim to provide. I am currently working full time Mon-Thur with a family and am seeking weekend date night jobs (Fri/Sat).

I had reached out to Trish on Sittercity.com based on her Profile when I was in need of a nanny for my 2 children (3yo & 5yo); to finish out the school year. Trish has been a DREAM...Anyone lucky enough to get her - KEEP HER! I have been using these sitter sites for some time now and you don't come across a TRISH very often! Trish is knowledgeable - she has been working with my 3yo on his potty training (and coaching me as well!). She is PASSIONATE about what she does; she is NOT a babysitter; She puts her whole heart into these kids, as if they were her own. She has brought preschool workbooks and worked with my 3yo on his colors, shapes & writing skills. She has planned science experiments to do with both my children, which they have loved. She always makes it a point to keep my children active and engaged; always planning activities both inside and outside of our home. She plays with them on their level; often sitting right beside them on the floor or crawling into their treehouse with them for story time or role playing... She even plays with our dogs in the backyard during nap times and strives to stay busy, helping out with house work or chores whenever possible; even when not required. Trish is Punctual, Responsible, Trustworthy, and the definition of what a true Nanny should be.
Leanne R.
- 40 years paid experience

I believe in the power of nature as a tool for education and love to spend time exploring outdoors, getting messy, and encouraging growth through play. My 40 years of experience include potty training, establishing sleep routines, and encouraging healthy relationships with food. I would describe my personality as silly & energetic and my caregiving style as responsive & respectful. I am kind, patient, and extremely reliable. I am seeking a long term position with 30 or more guaranteed hours that will begin in the fall of 2023. I am a Rhode Island native who now resides across the RI/CT border, and I am open to traveling approx. 20 miles . I am covid vaccinated, with a clean driving record and no criminal background. Prior to nannying, I ran a licensed home daycare in the State of Rhode Island. I have a lifetime of experience to share with you.

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Leanne for any position involving child care or child development. For several years, Leanne served as the nanny to my two children, from infancy through their early childhood years. During this time, she exhibited unparalleled dedication, compassion, and skill in managing the unique and challenging needs of my family. Leanne began caring for my youngest child as an infant, expertly navigating the demanding requirements of early childhood care. She continued this exemplary care until he reached four years old and transitioned to full-time preschool. Simultaneously, she also cared for my older son, from the age of three until he was nearly seven. This dual responsibility showcased Leanne’s exceptional ability to balance the needs of children at different developmental stages. One of the most remarkable aspects of Leanne’s care was her ability to interact with and nurture my nonverbal autistic son. Her patience, understanding, and tailor-made approaches to his needs were nothing short of extraordinary. Her ability to communicate effectively with him, despite the challenges of his nonverbal condition, was a source of relief and comfort to our family. Leanne's professionalism extends beyond her direct interactions with the children. Her decision-making skills are impeccable, and I trusted her judgment implicitly when it came to the well-being of my children. Her calm and composed demeanor, even in the most challenging situations, made her an invaluable presence in our home. She is unflappable, a quality that is essential in the unpredictable world of child care. Moreover, Leanne's versatility and resourcefulness were evident in her ability to manage multiple tasks and adapt to the varying needs of each child. Her commitment to creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment has had a lasting positive impact on my children’s development. In conclusion, Leanne is a remarkable individual whose expertise in child care is exceptional. Her dedication, skill, and compassionate approach make her an outstanding candidate for any position involving the care and development of children. I wholeheartedly recommend her without any reservations and am confident that she will be an asset to any family or organization fortunate enough to work with her

I am a mother of one daughter and grandmother of two; I have worked as a professional nanny for many years after working as a legal assistant. I am originally from Washington State and lived in Hawaii as well. I moved to Rhode Island and Connecticut, respectively, in '98. I enjoy children much more than administrative work, hence, I turned to childcare. I have had many long-term commitments, newborns on-up, twin infants in the mix, and special-needs (autistic;) I am blessed to still see the local, former families. (Although I am "seasoned," in age, I encourage prospective families to view me as bringing a grandmotherly-presence to children - able-bodied, yet mature and nurturing, with no personal commitments to conflict with a family's needs.) I am CPR/First Aid/AED certified (a given,) have a squeaky-clean DMV/BCI check and a non-smoker. Infant care: bottle-feedings, solid foods - all down pat... I have a passion for the arts - Broadway show tunes, children love them! I focus on age-appropriate activities, have collected a wealth of craft project archives and I am well-versed in children's literature; I am a Play-Doh goddess, good for the little ones. I am an avid animal-lover and am more than happy to attend to pet care needs. I am open to any questions you may have and references are readily available.

JoAnn was our nanny for 2.5 years. She was a very loving and nurturing caregiver to my twin boys from infancy through the toddler years. She was extremely reliable, and completely committed to us. My boys love her, but we have moved on to preschool. I encourage you to meet JoAnn for yourself.

I have been caring for children for roughly 6 years. I spent about a year babysitting 5+ children, ages 6 months through 13 years old, every week for the members of my local PTA during meetings. I have worked for families with children ages 10 months, 2, 3, 5 and 6 years old. My most recent position involved being a full time nanny to 1. 5 and 3-year-old sisters until it was time for the eldest child to begin school and I relocated. I am certified in CPR/AED/BLS and First Aid for infants, children and adults. I spent 2 years volunteering for my hometown ambulance corp as an Emergency Medical Responder in training. I'm a high school graduate with a clean driving record and a new car. My hobbies outside of work and school include reading, hand embroidery and bringing my dogs to the dog park. I am currently enrolled in college courses strictly online so I have an extremely flexible schedule.
