Find experienced child care providers in Ridgefield, CT

I graduated from Villanova University in May 2018 with a degree in Nursing and Spanish Language & Literature. I previously worked in the hospital for 6 years full time night shift as a registered nurse, first on an orthopedic/surgical unit and second on a mother/baby unit. I recently began working dayshift full time in an endocrinologist office Monday through Friday. I cannot commit to any full time babysitting jobs, so I am currently looking for jobs on an as needed basis (weekends, date nights, night nurse). I started out as a mother's helper early in middle school and began babysitting in eighth grade (2009). I continued babysitting until roughly 2020 when most parents were working from home and I was working on a Covid unit in the hospital so it was best that I self isolate for others’ safety. This amounts to over 10 years of babysitting experience. I also have roughly 3.5 years experience working with newborns through my job in the nursery and on the post partum unit. I have babysat for multiple families over the years, and most families I kept up with for several years. I've worked with children ranging from 6 months to teenagers in high school. I do not feel comfortable listing my references' personal information on my profile but I have plenty of references I could provide you with privately should you be interested in me for this position. I have also undergone child abuse checks, background checks, and CPR certification through my job and can provide proof or undergo testing again if necessary. I am also up to date on all vaccinations. I also am proficient in Spanish. I have my own car for transportation and I have experience transporting children as needed. I also have experience with homework help and meal prep and am open to any light chores that need assistance.

I have helped out with pets, run errands, gone grocery shopping, laundry and light house keeping.

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 as I transition toward a more education-focused path, 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.

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.
