Vera M.
- 14 years paid experience

Hi, my name is Vera. I am a professional caregiver looking for a new family (due to relocation). We might be a good fit together if you are looking for: Someone with years of experience. I have been working as a full-time nanny for over ten years. That experience means I know how to find the right balance with families — providing structure, routine and boundaries for kids so they (and their parents) can thrive while also creating an environment that is fun, spontaneous and loving. Someone dedicated and loyal. I was with my last family for six years. They have three beautiful, active children (9, 6 and 2) that I feel honored to have helped raise. Conner, their mom, told me to write that she, “absolutely, positively, doesn’t know what we’ll do without her”. We have a wonderful relationship and it is only due to an out-of-state relocation that I am leaving them. They have also proactively offered to speak with any families that would be interested. Someone trustworthy and honest. I am a great communicator and take what I do very seriously. Trust takes time to build, but I believe it is vital that every time you leave your children in my care you can feel confident that are being well taken care. Someone loving. The above is what I have learned and honed over years of experience, but experience isn’t needed to always treat children with love and respect. I love children. I love what I do. And I think that comes through each and every day. What I am looking for: I am searching for a family that is looking for a full-time nanny. Ideally Mon-Fri 8-6PM (some flexibility). Ideally located in the Westport, Stamford, Greenwich Darien or Fairfield area. I am happy to care for multiple children and have specific experience with infants. I am also happy to cook meals for the children, arrange playdates and activities. Importantly, I am looking for a family that is interesting in building a relationship that is lasting. Please contact me if you think I might be a good fit for your family.

I have been caring of younger children since I was 14 when my twin nephews were born. After babysitting them for 3 hours by myself, I knew that babysitting was something I'd be very interested in. The following summer I got CPR certified by the American Red Cross and I've been babysitting whenever I could ever since. I love small children and I've been blessed to have taken care of preteens, children and newborns.

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.
