Julie  W., Child Care in Essex, CT 06426 with 50 years of paid experience

I am 63 looking fo part time work and since I have always loved being around children and my college degree is in child care too that is what I am looking to do. IMy career started out on the maternity ward at Guys Hospital in London helping mothers with their new borns and in the neonatal unit. After that I nannied in Europe for two little girls, who several years later I went back to in London for a short time. On returning to England I worked in another maternity hospital, then in a Nursery School. For a while I did some temporary nannying for a variety of families with children of various ages, tiny to teens. Then my green card came through and I came to the USA to nanny in DC for a Naval family. After a couple of years there I went on to another family in DC who were worked in the government administration. Since then I have been married had three sons of my own, which was my full time job!

Pamela C., Child Care in Essex, CT 06426 with 40 years of paid experience

"SOUND of MUSIC" NANNY! I simply adore Kids! I can bring the gifts of learning, music, fun, creativity, love, and security to your child. I have experience staying with children full-time, over weekends and part-time. I will take them on walks, drive them to and from lessons and practices, assist with homework, music practice, meal prep and general household duties. I am fluent in German, have a current passport. Adult and infant CPR certified. First aid. I hope I can become a part of your family. Recent reference: "Pamela is truly lovely. She cared for my two daughters for several years and she was a joy to work with. She'd pick them up and bring them home from activities, fix great dinners, ran a lemonade stand with them once and I can't say enough good things about her. My daughters are now 10 and 12 and can be on their own while I run local errands or go to a friends but if I needed a caregiver there's no one I'd trust more than Pamela."  Candace K.
