Hi my name is Gillian Lewis and I am very experienced with child care. I have worked in a daycare caring for infants, toddlers, and preschool ages. In addition, during the summer I am a head camp counselor working with children ranging from ages 4-12 years old. I am currently a college student majoring in Elementary Education at Roger Williams University in Bristol, Rhode Island. Therefore, I am looking for nannying/babysitting opportunities in that area during the school year. I am CPR, First Aid, and Medication certified and have been through lots of child care training from previous jobs.

We have had the absolute pleasure of having Gillian as our nanny for just over 1 years from when our little one was just 5 months old until she was 18 months. Throughout this time, Gillian has been nothing short of fantastic. Her adaptability to our ever-changing work schedules has been incredibly helpful, and she has formed a remarkably close bond with our child, which has been heartwarming to witness. Gillian is exceptionally organized and tidy, ensuring that our home is always in order. Her communication skills are excellent, keeping us informed and involved in our child's daily activities and progress. She has taken sole charge of our toddler with confidence and care, scheduling playdates, planning engaging activities, and focusing on milestone development. Her meal prepping skills have also been a great asset, ensuring our child has nutritious and delicious meals. We are truly grateful for the love, care, and dedication Gillian has shown to our family. She has been an integral part of our child's early years, and we highly recommend her to any family in need of a wonderful nanny.

I am a babysitter with full charge nanny experience with excellent references. I have experience with newborns, toddlers and school aged children. I am C.P.R. certified . Experience with special needs , food allergies , and comfortable with pets. I am reliable , mature, honest , and I have lots of patience. I like to be constantly engaged with children in my care and I would rather read books then watch t.v. I am only looking for part time hours or occasional babysitting scheduled in advance.

I am a caring young adult. In the past, I've worked as a substitute teacher in Warwick School District, K-12, where I gained valuable experience working with children of various ages. This background has helped me develop patience, creativity, and effective communication skills, all of which I bring to babysitting. Currently, I work in the medical field, which has further strengthened my ability to stay calm, think quickly, and ensure the safety and well-being of others. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or making sure your child is well cared for, I’m confident I can provide a fun and safe environment.

I would recommend Delia to any family. She was great was both of my girls (20 months & 5 yo). She arrived on time and asked the right questions about care of the children. I would definitely hire her again.

I'm a proud mom of two great college students. I am RI Early Learning Standards and CPR/1st Aid certified and have been employed as a preschool teacher, a full-time nanny/family manager, overnight care provider and have owned a family entertainment/party venue for young children. For the past few years I have been involved in a nanny-share arrangement working from a large dedicated space in my home for a few families with children who are now aged 18 months to 3 years old. At this time I am able to take an additional child on Monday and Thursday after 11:30 a.m. and anytime on Tuesdays or Fridays. I am also happy to provide childcare in your home on evenings or weekends anywhere in NK, Saunderstown, North Narragansett, SK or Exeter. I have or course taken a plethora of classes in childcare, behavior management, etc. and have plenty of of tricks up my sleeve to keep kids entertained and redirect negative behaviors when needed. Several of the families that have attended my preschool program have used me to care for their children for weekends while they were away or as overnight sitter when needed. I'm comfortable with food allergies, infant led weaning , ASD and ADHD management/protocols and happy to be in a home with pets. In my free time I enjoy hiking, skiing, kayaking and paddle boarding. I look forward to hearing from you and encourage you to ask to speak to any of my former employers for more information about me.

Kellie babysat for us while we were on vacation in Narragansett, RI. She was a great communicator with me before and during our time there. She watched our 2.5 year old two nights in a row and managed to get him to sleep without me on the second night. She handled his screaming as I left the room like a pro! I really appreciated everything she did for us that weekend and would highly recommend her.

Hello! My name is Kate. I am an experienced and enthusiastic babysitter, nanny, and pet sitter. I started off being paid to watch my 8 younger cousins (I am the eldest) at the age of 11 and from there I developed a love of childcare. Since then, I have held two long term nanny positions, volunteered at numerous children's programs, day camps and I have worked in two preschools. I have taken childhood education and certification classes. I think of the children and families I babysit for as family. I am creative and enjoy sharing my artistic passions with children. I am not one of those teenagers who will just sit on their phone.

Katherine was fantastic! We were a bit nervous getting a new sitter online for the first time but she showed up early, was very attentive when we texted and very good experience with children, including infants. Would highly recommend!

Hi! I’m Charlie, a Forensic Science senior with a minor in Psychology at Roger Williams University and several years of experience working with children. I’ve worked as a summer camp counselor and supervisor, as well as a Program Site Director for a before and after school program. These experiences have given me the opportunity to work with children of different ages, plan fun and engaging activities, and create a safe, welcoming environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I’m a caring, patient, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys working with children. I love keeping kids engaged through games, activities, and everyday routines while also making sure they feel heard and cared for. My experience in leadership has also taught me how to communicate well with parents, handle challenges calmly, and be someone families can rely on.
