Anna B., Child Care in Newtown, CT 06470 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi everyone! I'm Anna, I've always loved caring for and educating children. I have my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I grew up in a big family with 11 siblings and over 20 nieces and nephews!! So caring for children has been a natural part of my life. I've worked with kids of all ages, but most of my professional experience is with 12months to 5 years old. I student taught at Hill and Plain elementary for the preschool. I led activities ranging from story times, music, and movement, to various art and sensory projects. My focus was always pushing curiosity and of course giving them a safe space to do so! Some activities I really enjoy doing with children are getting outside and going to the playground and parks, the library, sensory play, teaching shapes/colors, arts and crafts, and how to navigate their big emotions. Outside of work I'm big into health/fitness, visiting friends and family, reading and trying new things like restaurants or hobbies!

Jamila is great, highly recommended! She is very sweet and professional. She was great with my 15 month old son, and she made us feel very comfortable leaving him with her. Safety is a top priority for her, and she was also very attentive to my son's needs. My son was clean, happy and even in a new set of clothes when we returned from our outing. She was punctual to the babysitting appointment, and she was also very understanding when we were running late getting back. There were absolutely no problems at all.

Tanny M., Child Care in Newtown, CT 06470 with 5 years of paid experience

As one of the older siblings in a family of four, my experience caring for others started early, and it’s been at the heart of my life ever since. I’ve always been drawn to working with children. I spent two years as an elementary school teacher, where I gained real-world training in child development and classroom management. Since then, I’ve worked as a private tutor, supporting kids in both academic growth and emotional confidence. I’ve cared for children of various ages, including managing multiple kids at once, and I always strive to create a loving, compassionate, and positive environment where they feel safe, supported, and free to be themselves. My CPR and First Aid certification is up to date, and I’m also a lifelong animal lover, so I’m always happy to care for pets too! I’m fluent in Spanish, which is my first language, and I enjoy bringing fun and good energy to every family I work with. I truly believe in the power of positive thinking and giving my best in everything I do. I look forward to the opportunity to meet your family and provide care you can feel confident about!

Maria was like a part of our family for the 5 years she worked with our children, ages 5 and 7 now. The only reason we parted ways was because my daughter was going into Kindergarten and we didn’t need full time care any longer. Maria is caring, energetic and willing to go above and beyond for any family. She was always prompt, reliable and extremely flexible with our schedules. Anyone hiring Maria as their caretaker should feel like they hit the jackpot. Your children will love her!

Alaina L., Child Care in Newtown, CT 06470 with 20 years of paid experience

When I was 12 years old I started helping my aunt with my little cousins and from there my experience with children grew. In high school I organized birthday parties for small children at a sports center. From there I worked at a day care teaching children ranging in age from infancy to school age, responsible for four to 10 children at a time. It was there that I fell in love with a family and became their nanny full time. At the time I started with them they had three children, ages 6 months, 2 and 4. With the family I was responsible for organizing their daily activities, driving them to preschool, activities, appointments, play dates, etc. Two years later I rose to the challenge as the family had another child. It was then that my organizational skills, my patience, and my passion for taking care of children expanded. I was not only a baby sitter for these children but became a member of their family. I describe myself as being energetic, compassionate, trustworthy, and dedicated.
