Vera M., Child Care in Fairfield, CT 06824 with 14 years of paid experience

Hi, my name is Vera. I am a professional caregiver looking for a new family (due to relocation). We might be a good fit together if you are looking for: Someone with years of experience. I have been working as a full-time nanny for over ten years. That experience means I know how to find the right balance with families — providing structure, routine and boundaries for kids so they (and their parents) can thrive while also creating an environment that is fun, spontaneous and loving. Someone dedicated and loyal. I was with my last family for six years. They have three beautiful, active children (9, 6 and 2) that I feel honored to have helped raise. Conner, their mom, told me to write that she, “absolutely, positively, doesn’t know what we’ll do without her”. We have a wonderful relationship and it is only due to an out-of-state relocation that I am leaving them. They have also proactively offered to speak with any families that would be interested. Someone trustworthy and honest. I am a great communicator and take what I do very seriously. Trust takes time to build, but I believe it is vital that every time you leave your children in my care you can feel confident that are being well taken care. Someone loving. The above is what I have learned and honed over years of experience, but experience isn’t needed to always treat children with love and respect. I love children. I love what I do. And I think that comes through each and every day. What I am looking for: I am searching for a family that is looking for a full-time nanny. Ideally Mon-Fri 8-6PM (some flexibility). Ideally located in the Westport, Stamford, Greenwich Darien or Fairfield area. I am happy to care for multiple children and have specific experience with infants. I am also happy to cook meals for the children, arrange playdates and activities. Importantly, I am looking for a family that is interesting in building a relationship that is lasting. Please contact me if you think I might be a good fit for your family.

It is best to admit now that I am writing this with tears streaming down my face. I can not imagine these last six years of our lives without Vera in them. She has been more than a nanny, she is a co-mother to me. While I am devastated that she won’t be with us every day, I feel truly grateful that I met her all those years ago. Our family will be forever positively changed by her loving influence — I will be forever changed. She not only helped raise my babies into the respectful, kind fun kids that are today, she also helped me become a better mother to them. What a gift. Let me tell you some of the reasons she is so wonderful. First, she is like a modern-day, real world Mary Poppins. The kids have a routine and boundaries. She does it all so naturally, you don’t even know it is happening, but she provides structure and stability. And also fun! The kids love playing with her. Most of their time in our house is screen free. She takes them to playdates and the park. I never have to think twice about her going out with them. She is cool, calm and in charge. She just always has it figured out. I love that I never have to worry. Never have to second guess. Things just magically happen. Actually, that’s not true. I DID have to worry about other moms trying to steal our nanny (they tried!). But Vera is such a dedicated person, I actually didn’t even have to worry about that. I know with her my kids always come first. She loves them like I do. Which no amount of training or experience can account for — that’s just the kind of person she is. I recommend Vera without hesitation. I believe who you choose as a nanny is an incredibly important decision. If you are lucky enough to find the right person, it is magical. Some family in Connecticut is about to win the lottery.

Cara is amazing! She interviewed me as much as I interviewed her. Cara really wanted to make certain, as did I, that she would be the best fit for my son and my family. What is so special about Cara is that she truly cares - last week she brought over pictures she developed from her time with my son over Spring Break. I mean, who goes to that trouble anymore? Cara does. She is a gem and your family would be very fortunate to have Cara as your next babysitter.

Eileen was amazing with my son! I hired her for a week to watch my 3yo son during work hours while his school was closed. She communicated well with me from the initial phone interview and throughout the engagement. From the moment she walked in the door she engaged my son. I work remotely and could hear them laughing and having a blast outside and around the house. I loved that she took initiative with him to get him outside and create fun activities for him. She made him lunch each day and got him eating some new things. She practiced Spanish with him. She was confident and proactive and gave me great peace of mind that he was in amazing hands. He looked forward to each day she was watching him and took EPIC naps because he was so tuckered out haha. Eileen became part of our family for the week and we were bummed when the week was over. we look forward to the next time we see her!

I have been running apartment buildings for the last 30 years. Besides dealing with buildings, I have had to deal with the residents cleaning people, contractors health aides, etc.. Some of which can be less than desirable to have on property. Alice was one of those rare caretakers who I felt lucky to have caring for a 94 year old resident of the 26 unit apartment building I was working at. Other residents of the 7 story building, including our 101 and 102 year old residents, were always happy when Alice was on site. They trusted her and felt safe when she was around. They enjoyed her company and looked forward to seeing her. As I got to know Alice, I fully understood why she was so highly regarded. Integrity, honesty, and her ability to not just listen, but to hear what people where telling her. Then respond to their needs in a compassionate, caring manner. Food shopping, doctors appointments, just getting a senior out in the fresh air etc. It was obvious her presence was greatly valued by the lives she touched. I could go on and on about what a stand out caretaker she was. Sometimes though, less is actually more. Alice is quite simply exceptional. That says it all.

I am a 6th grade teacher in Bridgeport and am the mother of an 11 year old boy. I grew up in Greenwich and have lived in on the west coast, in Australia and England over the last 30 years. We have recently moved back to Ct to be closer to my family as my son grows up. I would be happy to take care of your children while you work, travel or just take some free time. I have a flexible schedule after school and on weekends. If the time and situation works well, my son would love to come with me and play with other children around his age too. I have a safe, reliable SUV and am fully insured. I'm happy to take the children out to play in the garden, at the park or the beach, play board games or arts and crafts at home too. I limit my child's screen time and am very happy for yours not to be on them while they are with me either. I have a pediatric first aid certification which I am scheduled to update soon. I have local references in Darien, Fairfield, Trumbull and Greenwich. Please feel free to email or call with any questions.

Leslie watched our toddler for us the day before my sibling’s wedding and she was truly a godsend. She took to our toddler right away and they played all day together. Leslie is patient, calm, and exceedingly kind. She was only with us for a day but she blended right in with our family like she had known us for years. I wish we lived in Connecticut so we could hire her more often.
