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.

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!

Hi! My name is Adrianna, I am 32 years old and very interested in your job posting. I am excited to apply for the babysitting position. With a decade of experience in the school system and four years dedicated to working in an autism program, I bring a deep understanding of child development, patience, and a commitment to creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for children. Additionally, my CPR certification ensures that I am fully prepared to handle emergencies. Throughout my ten years in education, I have had the privilege of working with children of various ages and developmental stages. My four years in an autism program have given me specialized skills in supporting children with unique needs, fostering communication, and implementing individualized strategies to help them thrive. These experiences have reinforced my ability to provide attentive, compassionate care while maintaining a structured and nurturing atmosphere. I currently live in Norwich, Connecticut and seeking a baby-sitting opportunity for this summer. I speak English fluently and am a non-smoker as well as have a clean driving record. I’d be happy to provide references as well as meet or chat on the phone. Looking forward to hearing from you and I wish you the best of luck with your search!

Hello! I’m Tessa. I have worked with kids in various settings for about 15 years. I have nannied and babysat, I’ve worked in classrooms, in outdoor education, and was the director of a nature-based afterschool program. In these various settings I have worked with infants through elementary-school-age kids, occasionally with middle schoolers as well. My formal education in child development started in high school through the Child Development Program that led to preschool teacher certification in RI. I earned a dual bachelor’s in psychology and child studies, which involved work in an infant classroom in a daycare setting and led to a teacher certification for infants and toddlers in MA & CT. I also have a master’s degree in Ecopsychology. My favorite part of working with kids is learning their personalities and engaging in and supporting their interests. Through all of my roles, nannying has been my favorite setting to work with kids. I love the variety of activities we can explore together and the relationship I can build with kids and their families over time. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your family!
