Hi there... My name is Melanie and I work as an Alzheimers and dementia care Specialist for a large Assisted Living company. While my work is wonderfully rewarding, children are now and always have been my passion. I am a college graduate who has worked with children (many with special needs) for over 25 years. I am fun, energetic and trustworthy and have a number of references who can provide any other information that may be helpful for you. I am first and foremost a Mom of four children. I know first hand what a challenge it is to find that special person with whom you will trust your most precious little one/ones. I am highly skilled in newborn/infant care...everything from diapering, feeding, and bathing to getting the baby on a schedule. I worked as a nanny in Greenwich as my first job out of college. I am a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist, so play is my thing! I love singing, reading, building, rocking, cuddling, dancing etc. with all of the special Little’s in my life. More Things I love: My husband, my children, my puppies, my Church, the beach and my friends. Oh and I love to laugh!. I am so looking forward to talking with you about how I can help with with not only your child care needs, but in nurturing and helping your little one feel cherished and special. Thank you taking the time to read about me.

Hi, my name’s Ayana Amoja. I’m 23 and a current college junior. Throughout high school, I babysat elementary-age children. Furthermore, I worked at a private school working with kids ages 5-14 as well as a part-time nanny to 3 and 5-year-olds, ages 5-12 in a public school setting and with ages 2-5 at two different preschools. I have also been a nanny for an 18 month-year-old and a 1-year-old. I love working with kids. They have made such an impact on my life and I just hope I’ve done the same for them. My number one thing is safety and I will always prioritize the child’s needs.

My family was visiting from out of town for a wedding and hired Ayana to babysit our 3 yr old during the later end of the wedding in our hotel room. From the interview through the babysitting process, I was really appreciative of Ayana’s openness, experience, and flexibility. We hired her for the entire evening but for much of the evening we had her on “standby” in the hotel until we were ready to put our toddler to bed. She was patient and flexible while waiting for us and very friendly. Would definitely recommend her to others!

We were so incredibly lucky to have Nikole care for our infant son. From day one, she was attentive, gentle, and completely trustworthy. She handled feedings, naps, and playtime with so much care and confidence, which gave us real peace of mind. She was always punctual, communicative, and truly engaged with our son — not just watching him, but interacting, comforting, and helping him grow. It was clear how patient and nurturing she is, and our son was always calm and happy in her care. We highly recommend Nikole to anyone looking for a reliable, loving, and capable nanny, especially for infants/toddlers.
