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.

Hi! My name is Gigi and I am a nursing student at Southern Connecticut State University. My deep love for children initially sparked my desire to pursue a career as a pediatric nurse. The thought of being able to make a positive impact on their lives during their formative years is incredibly rewarding to me. I currently work as a CNA with elders I love my job and I love having the ability to take care of those who are in need. I also speak Spanish & English.

Miss Pauline has been caring for our two children, now ages 2 1/2 and 1, for about the last six months. She spends one or two mornings a week with them and her calm and loving demeanor with the kids has made it easy for me to get some much needed time on my own. Our 2 1/2 year old son is very high energy and loves to be active and outside and she does a great job of letting him run off energy in a safe way. Pauline also always brings an activity like coloring or a craft to keep him occupied and engaged. She's also very sweet with our daughter and does a great job of keeping her entertained with songs and books and, now that she's a little older, time to explore outside. Pauline has been a wonderful sitter for both of our kids, plus, she does a great job of picking up toys and tidying up the kitchen along the way (something I never asked that she do). Finally, the thing that makes me most comfortable with leaving our kids in her care is that our son, a very expressive little guy, is always very positive and excited about the mornings she comes over.

Katherine was literally a lifesaver to me and my family. She is caring, responsible, smart, and lot of fun. We would work with her again in a heartbeat, and the next family is going to be lucky to have her support.

I have been running apartment buildings for the last 30 years. Besides dealing with buildings, I have had to deal with the residents cleaning people, contractors health aides, etc.. Some of which can be less than desirable to have on property. Alice was one of those rare caretakers who I felt lucky to have caring for a 94 year old resident of the 26 unit apartment building I was working at. Other residents of the 7 story building, including our 101 and 102 year old residents, were always happy when Alice was on site. They trusted her and felt safe when she was around. They enjoyed her company and looked forward to seeing her. As I got to know Alice, I fully understood why she was so highly regarded. Integrity, honesty, and her ability to not just listen, but to hear what people where telling her. Then respond to their needs in a compassionate, caring manner. Food shopping, doctors appointments, just getting a senior out in the fresh air etc. It was obvious her presence was greatly valued by the lives she touched. I could go on and on about what a stand out caretaker she was. Sometimes though, less is actually more. Alice is quite simply exceptional. That says it all.
