Leanne R., Babysitter in Sterling, CT 06377 with 40 years of paid experience

I'm a warm, dependable caregiver with a big heart for little humans and years of experience caring for children. I truly understand the beautiful chaos, patience, and love that come with caring for kids. My experience includes owning a licensed home daycare as well as working as a professional nanny. I've cared for children from infancy through school age and have supported families with everything from daily routines and developmental activities to school-age care and busy family schedules. I have experience with baby sign language and children with special needs. Childhood should be filled with laughter, learning, exploration, and feeling deeply cared for. Whether we're reading stories, building forts, playing at the park, or heading out for storytime, I love keeping children engaged while creating a safe and nurturing environment. If this sounds like something your family is looking for please reach out. I'd love the opportunity to become a valued part of your family's village!

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

Loryn C., Babysitter in Sterling, CT 06377 with 5 years of paid experience

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!

Loryn has a great personality, reliable, and skilled in communicating with children at their developmental level. My son loved her and was ready to make her part of the family. He was comfortable, happy, and safe thru school pickups, home safety with pool, and getting him to extracurricular activities. She was super helpful when you are trying to balance 2 parents working, attentive to parent requests at any time, and good communicator always updating the parent. Thank you Loryn for your professionalism.
