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'm a proud mother of one biological child and three stepchildren. I recently relocated and I'm interested in pursuing what I have a passion for which is caring for children. I absolutely love children and have worked with/ interacted with children since I was a teenager. I began working at KinderCare Learning Center at the age of 18. During that time I cared for children ranging from ages 6 weeks-12 years of age. After my employment at KinderCare ended I continued my passion at a family owned daycare facility called Kidville-Kovar Child Development Center for 2 years where I cared for children ranging from ages 6 weeks to 12 years but mainly with toddlers. During this time I also accepted a part-time job working in a residential living facility working with young adults with mental disorders and developmental delays. I continued this job until the owners decided to close the facility. I was later offered a position at another daycare as a teacher's assistant and administrative assistant where I had the honor of working in the classrooms with children and also working with the office staff. While doing this I also cared for children in my home during my free time. I love working with children and seeing them grow and develop their own little unique personalities.
