I've been caring for children of all ages in childcare centers and as a nanny for 35 years. I also have 4 grown sons of my own including twins. I absolutely love children.

I have extensive knowledge of child development and age appropriate activities that help a child grow and develop. I focus on nurturing the whole child including social, emotional, physical, and cognitive abilities. I work hard to foster a sense of responsibility, manners, and respect and lead by example.

I am a mother of one daughter and grandmother of two; I have worked as a professional nanny for many years after working as a legal assistant. I am originally from Washington State and lived in Hawaii as well. I moved to Rhode Island and Connecticut, respectively, in '98. I enjoy children much more than administrative work, hence, I turned to childcare. I have had many long-term commitments, newborns on-up, twin infants in the mix, and special-needs (autistic;) I am blessed to still see the local, former families. (Although I am "seasoned," in age, I encourage prospective families to view me as bringing a grandmotherly-presence to children - able-bodied, yet mature and nurturing, with no personal commitments to conflict with a family's needs.) I am CPR/First Aid/AED certified (a given,) have a squeaky-clean DMV/BCI check and a non-smoker. Infant care: bottle-feedings, solid foods - all down pat... I have a passion for the arts - Broadway show tunes, children love them! I focus on age-appropriate activities, have collected a wealth of craft project archives and I am well-versed in children's literature; I am a Play-Doh goddess, good for the little ones. I am an avid animal-lover and am more than happy to attend to pet care needs. I am open to any questions you may have and references are readily available.

I love being a babysitter because kids bring me joy and innocence that melts my heart. I am very skilled and experienced with all duties of childcare. Meal prep, shopping, picking up from school, cooking, insuring fun activities, changing diapers and much more. Please feel free to reach out and ask any questions!

Hello! I'm excited to offer childcare services and am looking for work for the summer of 2026. I'm currently a paraprofessional at a CT high school, so I'll be available this summer and eager to work part time. I have 6 years of experience caring for children, including working as a party hostess, watching family members' kids, serving as a kiddie camp director, and my current role in education. I also have extensive experience with animals. Having worked at an animal sanctuary and a veterinary clinic, I'm happy to care for your pets too. My rate is $22-$35 per hour, reflecting my experience, CPR certification, college degree, and willingness to assist with pets. I'm looking to work Monday through Thursday part time. Mornings to early afternoons work best for me. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi! My name is Greta, and I just finished my first year at Connecticut College, where I study Human Development and plan to pursue pediatric occupational therapy. I currently work at the Connecticut College Child Development Lab School with children ages 2–3, where I support teachers in creating a safe, structured, and engaging classroom environment. I spend a lot of time engaging with the children one-on-one and in groups through outdoor play, reading, and puzzles. A large part of my role is helping to guide the children with appropriate classroom behavior and ensuring that the children are cooperating with one another and treating each other with kindness and respect. My role also involves helping children move through their daily routines and transitions. Outside of work, I have extensive experience babysitting my three younger cousins, ages 3, 7, and 13, which has given me the opportunity to work with a range of ages and personalities in a more informal setting. Since my 18th birthday, I have also been working in a group home supporting adults with special needs. There, I assist them with their daily routines, encourage their independence and engagement in activities, and help them to achieve their goals. My style working with children is very patient and gentle. I attended Montessori school from kindergarten through 6th grade, and that experience still shapes the way I approach childcare today. My goal in working with the child is to nurture their innate curiosity by encouraging them to explore the world around them and pursue whatever captivates them. I love working with children and find it very meaningful to be a part of their learning and growth. I also find great joy in childlike wonder and play, and helping the kids have fun is an important focus of my job as a babysitter!

Drove children to Stepping Stones Museum for Children in Norwalk, Connecticut, and drove one child occasionally to the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk and set up playdates. I am certified in CPR, AED and First-Aid, and received a certificate of participation in Family & Friends CPR in Colchester.
