Angela B., Child Care in New Canaan, CT 06840 with 10 years of paid experience

I truly love working as a nanny because caring for children—especially infants through preschoolers—feels like second nature to me. For over ten years, I’ve had the joy of nurturing little ones through some of the most important stages of their growth and development. Watching them take their first steps, learn new words, or discover the world around them never ceases to be rewarding. I bring a calm, patient, and loving presence to my work, and I take pride in being reliable, organized, and creative in my approach to engaging with each child. Whether it’s planning sensory activities, reading stories, or building routines that support emotional and developmental milestones, I strive to create a warm environment where children feel safe, happy, and encouraged to learn. Being a nanny is more than a job for me—it’s a chance to make a lasting, positive impact on a family’s life and help each child grow with confidence and joy.

Emily B., Child Care in New Canaan, CT 06840 with 12 years of paid experience

Hi, I’m Emily! I’ve been babysitting for over a decade, starting at 18 when I cared for a family with two young boys and a newborn — eventually becoming their go-to sitter all the way through middle school. Since then, I’ve supported many families with children of all ages, from infants to teens, and have always found joy in creating a safe, engaging, and dependable environment for kids to thrive. Right now, I’m in a flexible phase of my career, which gives me availability during afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My husband and I live locally in Norwalk and are planning to start our own family soon, so I understand the importance of finding someone you can truly trust with your children. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, very comfortable with pets, and known for being both reliable and fun. Whether it’s handling bedtime routines, managing multiple children, or encouraging creative play, I bring a calm, caring, and capable presence to every home I work with.

Kristina K., Child Care in New Canaan, CT 06840 with 4 years of paid experience

I am 38 years old. What sets me apart from everyone, is that I get them. Them meaning children. Parents of children that are typically shy, and not really interested in playing with anyone new— are dumbfounded after they hear their shy child with me. We click. It just happens. Sincerely, I am the most honest, transparent, respectful, resourceful, and reliable person I know. I am genuine. I assume nothing. I ask lot of questions. And more than that, I am hands down the most fun. I am known for screaming “Please hurry guys! There is a movie star in this house! Come look!” (It’s me looking at my self in the mirror. Hahaha) If you want to make a kid laugh, I say “give me 5” and quickly pull my hand away. It gets them every time. My best friend’s children FaceTime me (and I learned I’m the only friend that gets these calls lolol) daily. I don’t know what it is. But I have it. It could be that I talk about everything with them. From their farts to poop… It is so important for them to be able to laugh at themselves. More, I want children to feel confident and comfortable telling me (or mom and dad) anything: if there are worms in their poop, butt is itchy, etc. I’m not a fan of the kitchen. Dole peach cups, and water or an Honest flavored drink. I would love to have an approved meal that I may order from door dash (on me) for them. If you look at my Facebook page you will see how I am with kids. I have been babysitting since high school. Babysitting 8-12 girls from 8am-2pm. During summer break from college. And we often went to the park, often packed with more kids. Communication is every second and it means everything. My attention was on 10 girls under 6. I managed the chaos, made sure their chins were always up, and I could see their teeth. Not once did I meet a child that I could not reach. When the parents tell me, you are the kids’ favorite - I can’t imagine someone that is better with children than myself. ☺️ I love sciences: anatomy and physiology, and microbiology. I will correct their English, if they use a word incorrectly. Believe it or not, children don’t mind being corrected. It is the parents that chime in: ‘it’s okay, school is over’. For example, if someone uses an adjective when an adverb is appropriate. The difference between “may” and “can”. And when to use “I” versus me.” I am super inquisitive. If I do t know the answer, Google will :).
