Hey Parents! My name is Mia and I’m currently a student at the University of Connecticut! I have both experience as a Nanny as well as extensive experience in childcare.

My name is Karen. I am 47 with 2 grown boys (1 in College and 1 in the military) and a husband retired from the Ct state police. I retired 2 yrs ago as a social worker for the St of Ct. Every parent strives in raise children who are confident, independent, happy and self sufficient beings. My personal and professional experiences, along with my passion for caring and interacting with children, contribute to these goals. I am gifted with organizational skills and multi-tasking. I possess an enormous amount of patience, which is a very important quality when caring for children. Children need to have a sense of stability and consistency, in addition to being allowed enough freedom to grow into confident self sufficient individuals; something I balance well with children. A successful caregiver needs to be able to give individual attention. Gaining the trust and respect of a child is very important. If a child doesn't respect you, they rarely will listen. I don't believe in anger, violence, or threats to motivate children into behaving as most children simply desire to feel respected, needed, listened to and understood. With my education and own experiences as a “mom,” I relate well with children of all ages, from infancy to the teen years. I enjoy being active and spending time outside whether it’s hiking or swimming or simply gardening or taking a walk. I advocate for children of all ages to join in on physical and outside activities but recognize the bonding experience that also comes from snuggling on the couch with a good book or movie. I am an affectionate person but also know children have individual boundaries that need to be respected. My beliefs are that children need to be shown affection and love in order to know how to reciprocate it. I’m efficient with daily activities and scheduling. I’m happy to take care of light laundry and making nutritious snacks/meals as personal health is also something I enjoy teaching and learning about. I’m a safe driver with no derogatory driving history. I have over 25 yrs of professional experience interacting and assessing children and families. I feel strongly in offering up choices to children rather than saying “no.” I am able to implement routine, stability and consistency to children’s lives. Children learn through their own exploration and should be allowed to do just that, in a safe manner. I believe fostering mistakes should be viewed and utilized as learning opportunities.

Life brings many challenges and being a mom of three children was never a walk in the park juggling between jobs, getting things done in the house and having time to even breath in between . It was all work it. I have three children, my oldest is now 21 and my youngest is 12. We grow into having patience, trying to understand each child during their different age needs. Nothing is ever perfect! For the past 9 years I’ve been a caregiver to my mom. I have a CNA(Certified Nurse Aide) certification since 03. Worked in before/after care programs at an elementary school, worked for a high school behavior program for a year, used to babysit my neighbor’s son who was non verbal and had disabilities. Also worked in a home with disabled and special needs adults. I have many experience working in different settings and adopting to every situation that comes differently. To sum up my experiences I worked in schools, daycare , nursing homes, home care,…etc I am a mom and caregiver!!! Did I mention I have a dog!
