Lori was amazing and our kids really enjoyed spending time with her and even asked for her to come look after them again which is rare. She is clearly a kind and thoughtful person and really engaged with the kids with through conversation’s and games and even brought some arts and craft projects which was a nice touch. With a high energy son and a more quiet and artsy daughter it can be a challenge to keep both entertained and Lori did this brilliantly. We will definitely be reaching out again when we need help.

Tanny M., Child Care in Ridgefield, CT 06877 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!

Chrysa K., Child Care in Ridgefield, CT 06877 with 10 years of paid experience

I am a professional nanny with many years experience with infants, young children and teens. For many years I was a stay at home mom, but now my children are getting older and independent. I have a joyful home that I share which my husband almost 30 years and my son 21 in college, and my daughter 16. I loved being home which my children and aside from my affection for them, I have gained a wealth of knowledge in health and welfare. I am a very responsible loving and conscientious caregiver. The safety of children in my care is most important and essential. I have nurtured babies, feeding, diapering, bathing and all manner of care. I have safely driven children to and from school, activities and outings.I have kept complex household schedules, prepped and cooked delicious and nutritious meals, and cleaned up. I have helped out with pets, run errands, gone grocery shopping, laundry and light house keeping. Actives I enjoy doing with children are all about being physically active outdoors, hiking on trails, exploring nature, playing in creeks and going to the beach, pool, zoo, or just playing at the playground. It’s great fun making couch forts on rainy days and baking cookies. Being creative with crafts and painting works of art for quiet time activities. I try to encourage responsibility in children by having them help clean up their toys and seeing the value in being a good helper. I discourage screens and encourage books. I love reading to children and teaching them about the world. Mostly I strive for FUN! I have a special needs child and I have spent many years in specialized therapies. I have developed a very intuitive and sensitive nature in dealing whith my child’s disability. It has been the center of our lives 24/7. I understand the patience and nuance that is required when working and striving for important developmental milestones. I have completed two parent training courses at The Yale child Study Center, New Haven.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had such a wonderful nanny caring for our two-year-old and four-year-old. CHRYSA truly went above and beyond every day and always took exceptional care of our children. She was loving, dependable, attentive, and genuinely invested in their happiness and well-being, as well she has a vibrant and delightful sense of fun and humor ! Our children were always safe, well cared for, and happy in her care, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. She became such an important part of our lives, and we would have loved to keep her with our family did not move away for work. We will miss her and highly recommend her .

Kader S., Child Care in Ridgefield, CT 06877 with 7 years of paid experience

I worked full-time with six different lovely family and 8 splendid children -two baby-for seven years both in San Francisco and Istanbul, Turkey. I am a university graduate. I have experienced to teach and also learn a lot from children with love, respect, happiness and adventure. I love to take care of babies and children because I had beautiful and unexplained days that I get to witness: the first smiles, the small conquests of crawling, the big smiles, the unconditional love they show in every discovery. All these were extraordinary special to me. During my experience, I also performed light housekeeping, including cooking,and laundry for family. I managed the schedules of children including picnic, walk and play on the parks. Please feel free to contact with me. I can share my references information or recommendation letter. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Have a wonderful day :) Note: I am full vaccinated and boosted

Kader cares for our 5 month old infant. She is extremely attentive when caring for our son, always playing with him and engaging him. She always has a warm, calm, and pleasant attitude and we can really tell that our son responds well to her. We feel confident that our son is happy, safe, and well cared for with Kader. Kader is also extremely professional, responds to communications in a timely manner, and has been fantastic to work with overall. We would highly recommend her.

Hi, I'm shelly. I'm 28 years old and currently a nursing student. I have some availability in my schedule and decided to get back into nannying.

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.
