Ayana A., Child Care in Durham, CT 06422 with 9 years of paid experience

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!

Inyene  E., Child Care in Durham, CT 06422 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m Inyene, but you can also call me Kate! I have been blessed to support children of all ages, from fragile newborns to extraordinary youth with special needs, and I deeply understand the immense patience, endurance, and grace that childcare demands. As a creative writer who has worked in child and youth development, I bring a unique blend of energy, patience, and over 10 years of experience to caregiving. I am fully committed to protecting, listening to, and nurturing the unique capabilities within every child, including organizing age-appropriate fun and entertaining activities to excite and boost learning and social-cognitive skills. Personally, I am a grounded, reliable, punctual, kind, and deeply empathetic person. I don't drink or smoke and have a clean driving record. I am naturally patient, enthusiastic, active, and highly creative, finding joy in small things. In my free time, I enjoy writing, trying new recipes or organizing. When I am babysitting, this translates into me being a very hands-on caregiver. Instead of putting on a movie, I may set up arts-and-crafts projects, read together, try a writing prompt, play imaginative games outside, or follow a strict bedtime routine; I am highly organized and adaptable to your family's needs. Finally, I have no allergies and will treat your furry companions with the utmost love and care! * Please note: I only do ocassionals, date nights, last minutes, weddings, backup sitter (for when your regular can't show due to emergencies!) school pick up emergency, etc. I would consider a short term recurring with a clear start and end date. It'll be a pleasure to work with your beautiful family.

Inyene was amazing with our 18 month old daughter who took to her calm and welcoming demeanor right away. Inyene is engaging, playful and matched our toddlers energy in a safe and effective manner. She is responsible and replies to messages quickly! We will continue to reach out for date nights in the future!

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.

Alana is a wonderful addition to our family dynamic! She is patient, her tone is well received by littles, and she is punctual. My kids ask for her when she is not with us and are excited when she arrives. I would recommend Alana again and again.
