Loryn C.
- 5 years paid experience
- 10 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 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.

- 6 years paid experience

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.
